Sunset Park


Located diagonally across Eastern Avenue from McCarran Airport in the southeast part of Las Vegas Valley, Sunset Park is one of the area's largest public recreation facilities. Its interior lake alone covers 14 acres, serving as home to fish and water fowl while providing local residents with a venue for trout fishing year-round as well as remote control boating.

Within Sunset Park are lighted basketball and tennis courts, volleyball sand pits, an 18-hole disc golf course, several baseball and soccer fields, and a public swimming pool. The latter is open from Memorial Day through Labor Day and offers swimming lessons as well as a place to cool down in summer.

There is also a large dog park, a well-equipped children's playground, a fitness course, public restrooms, and numerous picnic areas with fixed barbecue grills. Six shaded areas are available for group outing of 100 to 1,000 people. Some feature covered pavilions with electricity and running water as well as picnic tables.

Sunset Park is often the location for political rallies, union gatherings, and reunions. It is the site of the annual Renaissance Fair, too, which features three days of jousting, feasting, dog and pig races, music, magic, juggling, shopping, and more in period costume. The address is 2601 East Sunset Road, Las Vegas, Nevada 89120.
