Potosi Park — Attraction in Spring Valley

Park was cute & we had a little time to spare so we stopped in. It’s right behind an elementary school so I thought it would be ok. (This was during summer time so school is still out) The park itself is ok - although, it could really use some cleaning and paint. But the part that threw me off the most was the amount of homeless. The picture I included was right out front & the photo of the playground itself has a sleeping homeless guy under the tree on the left. (He wasn’t there at first). Then a couple minutes into the playground trip a group of more homeless came and camped out at the picnic tables.

I can overlook this issue Sometimes because you even see homeless in summerlin now. But me & my son & another father & his son were quickly out numbered in about 5 minutes. It got awkward- fast. Me & the other father left with our kids shortly after.

The playground has a lot of potential. Maybe during school time it...

Currently is under construction due to remodeling the park, will be open until October or near the end of September! This park is a small little park where you can go to take your kids to play for a bit without losing sight of them. There’s two baseball fields and teams usually go out to play. I recommend not sitting too close to the baseball fields though due to my friend getting hit my a baseball when they were playing at the field. There’s a lot of graffiti on the walls of the playground but other than that it’s pretty cool to be around. Many kids go to it after school due to having an elementary school right in front of it. Sometimes the ice cream man comes and also a lady sells corn with cheese and mayo and chili. They only seem to come during after school...

Had time to wait as my two kids where at Area 15. I went to the park as we are from out of town on a road trip vacation, and I needed to cook some hamburgers. The park had a couple of picnic tables when I did a google search so it would be perfect for the location and what I needed. It was dark when I arrived and to my surprise the ball diamond was lit up and it cast light on the table. There were a few older teens playing and people walking their dogs. It was well kept from the spot...
