The Clark County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved a major expansion of Echo Trail Park at the corner of Buffalo Dr. and Russell Rd. Today’s approval allows construction of a new two-story, 58,000-square-foot community center along with significant park enhancements. The new facility will be built at the southwest corner of the site, just west of the existing park.
“The approval of the Echo Trail Community Center is an exciting step forward for the southwest,” said Clark County Commission Chairman Michael Naft. “After seeing the incredible success of our Silverado Ranch Community Center, I am thrilled to have modeled Clark County’s newest Parks and Recreation campus after it. The new facility will offer programming rooms for people of all ages, a fitness space, an indoor walking track, a demonstration kitchen, and more. The project will also enhance the area that is currently home to Echo Trail Park, creating an even more vibrant and welcoming destination for neighbors to play, recreate, and build community. Community centers raise property value while improving the health and quality of life for nearby residents.”
The Echo Trail Community Center will also feature a gymnasium, indoor walking track, dance/yoga studio, multipurpose classrooms, an arts and crafts room, offices, and conference rooms. The facility is expected to open in 2028. Park improvements include 288 new parking spaces for a total of 321 spaces, a new pedestrian pathway, signage, and additional landscaping throughout the park.
Echo Trail Park opened in 2022 and serves the neighborhoods nearby. Currently, the park features a tennis/pickleball court, playground, splash pad, and walking trail.
