With more than 300 days of sunshine annually, Clark County is home to a host of indoor and outdoor activities awaiting residents and visitors alike.

Clark County Parks and Recreation provides Southern Nevada with 15 urban recreation and community centers, including three centers devoted to seniors; 10 pool facilities with seven water parks and three indoor, year-round pools; 10 skate parks, seven dog parks and nearly 100 public parks with everything from picnic amenities to ball fields, playgrounds and water features.

Clark County Parks and Recreation is also home to world-class facilities not found anywhere else in Nevada. A newer facility is the Clark County Shooting Range, which provides 178 acres of controlled shooting space for rifle, shotgun, pistol and bow and arrow enthusiasts. One of the County’s oldest facilities is Camp Lee Canyon, which, since 1936, has welcomed thousands of adults and youth to its historical overnight camp facility in the cool air of Lee Canyon, located just northwest of the Las Vegas Valley.

The department is also proud of its Nevada heritage and shows it off at three museums ­– the Cannon Aviation Museum, located at McCarran International Airport; the Searchlight Museum and the Clark County Heritage Museum, which features a train depot, exhibits and Heritage Street, where several historical Clark County homes and the Candlelight Wedding Chapel have been restored and await those eager to learn. Other department facilities include Horseman’s Park, which pays homage to Nevada’s Western legacy with frequent equestrian events, Dog Fanciers Park, which offers an open regional dog park facility with daily use and reservations for groups or shows, and the Wetlands Park, which provides native habitat and preservation for many forms of wildlife.

Clark County is the nation’s 14th-largest county, is home to 70 percent of the state’s population and occupies 8,012 square miles – an area larger than New Jersey. With that amount of ground to cover and residents to serve, Clark County Parks and Recreation is always introducing new and fun activities and special events to keep residents and visitors coming back for more.
