Commissioner Jim Gibson, in partnership with Get Outdoors Nevada, is inviting local residents to pick up a pair of gloves and help restore one of the valley’s unique natural features. The Sunset Park Dune Cleanup, 2601 East Sunset Road on the Southmost end of the park near Eastern Road, is scheduled for Saturday, May 2, from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. Pre-registration is required and can be done at https://bit.ly/4bJnhS8.

This community-driven event focuses on beautifying and restoring the important dune habitat in Sunset Park. As Get Outdoors Nevada celebrates 25 years of serving the state, this initiative highlights the ongoing commitment to preserving local ecosystems and enhancing public spaces for all Clark County Residents.

"We are calling on volunteers to help us ensure these dunes remain a natural part of our park system," said Commissioner Gibson. "It’s a great opportunity to get outdoors, give back, and work together to make our community better."

"Partnering with community officials like Commissioner Jim Gibson and his team allows us to maximize the impact we can realize with projects at a truly meaningful scale—whether it’s park and trail cleanups, or creating gardens and planting trees, our objective is to create lasting, positive improvements for the community,” said Shelly Kopinski of Get Outdoors Nevada, which is celebrating its 25th year of providing opportunities for Nevadans to experience, learn about, and care for outdoor spaces. “Ultimately, we hope to ensure that all public green spaces, including the iconic Sunset Park, spark connections to the Southern Nevada landscape and help visitors reap all of the benefits offered by the outdoors."

This event is supported by a collaborative effort involving Clark County, the Metropolitan Police Department, and local partners like Pinkbox Doughnuts.

Known as the "crown jewel" of the Clark County park system, Sunset Regional Park has served the Las Vegas valley since 1967 as one of the largest and most distinguished recreational spaces in Southern Nevada. Spanning 324 total acres, the park features a diverse array of amenities, including a 14-acre stocked fishing pond, 3.5 miles of walking trails through historic desert dunes, and premier sports facilities, including a 27-hole disc golf course and a 24-court pickleball complex. Whether hosting signature community events like the Age of Chivalry Renaissance Festival or providing shaded picnic areas and playgrounds for daily family use, Sunset Park remains a central oasis for fitness, nature, and community gathering.
