Town Square Park

This was one of the first outdoor, kid-​friendly places my wife and I visited after we moved here several years ago. We went to Town Square to visit the Apple Store, then decided to stroll around and quickly came across the park, located in the middle of the shopping center. It was still before the strong heat of the summer hit and we enjoyed a bit of time sitting, taking in the sunshine, and watching our toddler (at the time) play.
There’s an open, grassy area for everyone, with a kid’s play area right next to it. A few food and snack vendors, and restrooms inside the kid’s area. You can also buy tickets for the kids train that runs around a part of the shopping center. Adults can ride along with their little ones.
Inside the play area is pretty cool with a number of little buildings at ground level and with a second story, there’s a tree house and a maze designed for kids to work through without getting totally lost or separated from their parents. There’s just one way in and out. This is true of the whole play area as well: just one way in and out, so it’s easy let the little ones play and know they’re not going to escape easily.
Take note, the folks who work there will tell you, «no food or drinks» inside the kids play area, even though I see people in there regularly with bottles of water, sodas, etc. They seem to be strict about the food, but not the drinks. This may be because of the one negative about the place: there’s very little shade, and every time we’ve been there, the water feature /​splash pad hasn’t been working. This pretty much eliminates it as an option in the summertime. But for the rest of the year it’s great.
Don’t be surprised when planes fly over at low altitude. Town Square is underneath the final approach path into McCarran International Airport. Since the planes are landing, the engines are relatively quiet, but for kids (or adults) who don’t like the sudden appearance of an airliner (or the associated engine noise), you may want to shop and move on. But for the kids who would get a kick out of seeing a plane flying so close by, it’s a very cool experience and will undoubtedly fuel their imaginations.
If you find yourself needing to go to Town Square with a little one in tow, plan a little extra time for them to play. It’s a good place to let the kids romp while you sit for a bit.

Newly built, this shopping complex is really nice. Set up like a vintage city, the shops are laid out nicely. It just looks nice. The outdoor shopping complex that mimics city living is really a nice concept that they pulled off very well. So, let’s talk about it being outdoors. Yep, beautiful. Nope, hot. Vegas gets to be a million degrees a lot and you will get only relief if you stay inside. Walking around in this sauna can get you heat stroke. Too bad, otherwise this place gets high marks.

Small. Free. Fun.
I’ll be back. The only downside is that there’s a serious lack of shade.

They won’t let you in the park with a drink (lemonade in my case) the shacks sells and promotes. Even on a very hot day. But I noticed everyone inside the park had their drinks/​water in a «water bottle» of their own and they will let you in-​no questions asked. Attendant was rude along with the lady at concierge office. I understand having rules but don’t be rude. Not ever going back! So many other places to go!

Don’t come here if it’s hot, they won’t let you in with drinks. Even when it’s 100°. And on top of that they sell drinks and food right outside the entrance and promote it and still won’t let you drink in the park.

Would have been a great park but they support bullying. Long story short. Some girl was charging a dollar to get in and use the slide. My niece said no. The girl got mad and pushed my 2 year old on the floor and against the wall. Attendant didn’t ask them to leave.

There is nothing better than getting a nice snack from one of the nearby shacks and sitting in this park on a cool day. You see people out with their kids taking in the sites of the stores, people eating and enjoying each other company, some people reading books or on their phones. I like to people watch so sometime i will grab a tea from tevana and watch the different people walk buy and try to guess what kind of life they have. Silly i know but in vegas at the malls there are so many different walks of life and nationalities. I would suggest one day when its nice out to just get ya a beverage and snack and enjoy the weather and sights

Love this little play area for my son. During the summer it’s like free entertainment if you bring bathing suits for the kids because they have a water fountain that pops up from the floor. There is a little maze, little jungle gym, and tree house. Perfect place to let your children’s imagination run wild. Since my wife comes here so often it’s a great resting area for myself while the little toddlers exercise themselves out to go to bed early. Sometimes you’ll see mini concerts across the street too. Very family oriented.

Huge fan. What makes a great park?
1. Water area. Water shooting from the ground for kids to run through and have a wet blast.
2. Tree house. What kid doesn’t love a tree house with a slide, play house, and a fire fighter slider to exit.
3. A maze. A green maze just the perfect height for a parent to watch their kid but for the child to be stumped and excited to challenge themselves.
4. bathrooms. Bathrooms are clean, smell clean (huge one for me) and conveniently close tot he park because we all know kids hold their bladder to the last minute.
6. Eateries. Close eatery places within a block from quick service to sit down. Its an awesome palce to have a mom meetup or a day at the park with lunch
7. Shopping. Yes, lets tire the kid out at the park. Put her in the stroller to pass out and then do some relaxing shopping. genius!
8. Gated! We all know as parents are little kids are escapees. They like to scare us when they disappear. Well no problem sit by the exit and wait for them. Theres no way they can escape except one entrance and exit.
And those are all my main reasons for loving this park and I can guarantee you will too

I’m a big fan of this place. I love an outdoor shopping mall. I have been shopping, eating and drinking at this place for years. Some of my standout favorites are H&M, Victoria’s Secret, Sephora, Whole Foods, Container Store, Blue Martini, McFaddens & Stoney’s to name a few…
Well, knowing I was going to be watching my nephew for a few days, I wanted to plan some fun stuff for us to do. First thing in our agenda was Wednesday story time. I’ll be honest he wasn’t that into it… He more liked walking around and looking at the little tables. He’s not overly into giant animated characters but he was patient mostly I think for my benefit. Next stop the park. Oh my gosh we played for hours. He LOVES this spot. I chaff him around the giant grass maze and then he’d run over to the sides or climb up the rope ladder. There’s a lot to do in such a small area. The moms could do better job keeping an eye on their kids… (going up the slide the wrong way or etc… But security does a pretty good job staying on top of it.
Then the train. So cute and for only $ 3 you get to ride around the park area twice. My nephew was over the moon. I also want to give train conductor, Jason a shout out. He was awesome. So much positive energy & personality. It is great to see someone that really enjoys their job.
I know there’s a lot of places that I haven’t even checked out yet… But there’s always next time.

A hidden gem for the little ones right smack in the middle of Town Square. There’s a splash pad which is great for the Las Vegas heat (remember to bring water shoes, it gets quite hot).
It’s really a charming playground. It almost looks like a page out of Hantzel and Gretel with the tiny storybook-​like clubhouses. Behind that you’ll find a maze where you’re bound to get lost. Not to fret, you’ll find your way out the same way you came in. Slides and a few benches when you need a breather. Some more shade would’ve been helpful considering it’s blazing hot out here pretty much 9 months of the year. But my kids don’t seem to mind.
There are bathrooms located inside which is such a plus. There’s even a child sized potty in the stall on the right side. My daughter always insists on using it. You’re not allowed to bring food or drink inside so I suggest grabbing a bite before or after. Wetzels Pretzels & Lollicup are right outside the gates. Those two places are my go-​to when I’m here.

This place is a fantastic outlet for kid’s energy! The water feature keeps them cooled off and there are so many different adventures to be had in the maze, tree houses, slides, playhouse, etc. It is also nice to have a bathroom on site. The best thing is that the whole area is fenced off with only one point if ingress and egress. Great fun!

Nice park for the kids! They had fun.

This is a nice area for you to take your kids for a little while. It’s not huge but it has all the necessary play areas that your child would enjoy. As you walk in there is a maze, an splash pad area to the left and a wooden play area with slides. In addition, there are a few replica homes for kids to play around in and a kids stage to the right.

Great little park for the kids. There are treehouses to climb, a splash pad, a people-​powered merry-​go-​round. Even a peewee sized stage for the creative child
I love the grounds, theyre well-​kept, and of course the shopping is fabulous.
Two things i dont like much:
1 the «playground cops» who tell kids they cant go in the wAter without shoes, and the adults they cant take in the drink they just paid $ 5 for right outside the gate
And
2. The fact that its difficult to find your kids on this playground. The treehouses are cool but they shouldve made them with better accesibility for parents. Also the park is very long so if they run off you really cant see them. Not so great when you have multiple kids to look after.
Still, the plusses outweigh the minuses. And its really very non-​vegassy. Which is great for us world weary locals.
So five stars it is.

This is a great little park in the middle of Town Square. The great parts: completely fenced in with only one way in and out that is manned. The maze is pretty cool. There are bathrooms right there. The kids always have a good time there.
This is a cool little park. But it is little. It is also a tiny splash pad. This is not exactly where I would bring my kids if I want to leave with them wet. There are too many other place in Henderson and Las Vegas that have awesome splash pads.
I will absolutely keep coming back for some play time in between shopping, movies, or lunch!

When ever we come to Town Square the kids are always asking if we can make a stop at the park.
It can get very crowded but with the awesome play quipment and splash pad I know we will continue to return

This park is great for young kids aged about 1year-​8 or so. It has a water feature, a grass maze, and two large playhouses that the kids love to run around in. There are several slides and ride on animals as well. It only has one exit and entry so you feel pretty safe letting your kids run around.

Like something out of a story book, this fairytale-​like play park is located in the center of Town Square. So before or after a day of shopping, kids have a place to run around and you have a place to sit down.
The «security» is wonderful. They make sure the puppets don’t go in alone and constantly stand at the gate keeping a watchful eye. They also make sure your kiddos aren’t climbing in places they shouldn’t and start looking for mommy if they see children wandering alone.
Here’s what you can find in this cute little play park: Water play area (and on these scorching days it’s a necessity, so bring a swimsuit and sunblock), old school merry go round, playhouses, slides, tree house, a play stage, a unicorn and a caterpillar and my favorite an Ivy Maze! Only thing missing here was the Fairy Dust! Free and fabulous for the kids.
Some rules: No food or drinks-​only water-​so it keeps the place nice and clean. Park hours are open 7 days a week and on Saturday open until 9:30 p.m.and Sunday until 7:00 p.m.
The entrance is located next to the Wetzel’s Pretzels so after playing you can get a refreshing watermelon drink and a snack or an ice cream sundae at the next little snack shack. Check it out!

Great place for kids to play. During the summer there is a water area that is great for all ages.
