Desert Horizons Park — Attraction in North Las Vegas

I like the park because it is very child friendly, with two giant sets of jungle gyms. Only thing is every time I come here there is always something going on that i really dont think should be seen at a park. Last time I went, there was a group of young boys by the bathroom smoking pot and sparring, or real contact fist fighting. Two of the boys had their shirts off and while doing my laps around the park there was not a single corner where i could not hear them screaming and yelling. The worst part of this whole situation was that these boys were middle schoolers if not younger. This scenario was at about 10 am, and i had seen all the other kids go to school. It really made me think what the world is coming to, and what mindless music is doing...

Even though this is a newer park the North Las Vegas Council and Parks Board do not monitor the safety and maintenance of the park. I plan to attend the Council Meeting and the Parks Board Meeting and ask why there is no maintenance done on this park. Here are the issues: 50% of the lighting does not work. There is gang graffiti tagged around the tennis courts. Trash is everywhere. Trash cans are overflowing due to lack of maintaining the park. I saw a homeless person camped out by the tennis courts. The facilities are in disrepair. I am looking for the person to point the finger at and ask them to fix it. City Council? Public Works? Parks Board? Today, the residents from 3660 Fuslier area decide to empty their trash can into the park trash...

Went on a whim for a personal little picnic. Very impressed.

The park itself was clean, the trash cans were taken care of and almost empty. Looked like they had been recently changed.

The grass was good and equipment in good working order. Picnic tables clean.

Not many people out and about but that was fine by me. I basically had the entire park to myself. LOL

Forgot to take pictures but will next time I'm there because I...
