Default where can i feed ducks?

Hey guys,
Im wondering if there are any parks in las vegas where i can see and feed ducks. I read about Sunset park near the airport but it sounds like there is lots of construction going on so im assuming the ducks are being kept elsewhere?

Thanks!

Desert Shores or the Lakes.

Sunset Park has a nice pond with fish and ducks - enjoy!

Even though there are signs at Nature Discovery park and Desert Shores telling people to not feed the ducks, people do it anyway.

There used to be signs telling people to not feed the ducks at the ponds in The Lakes, but they took them down. There are still signs warning against harassing Federally protected waterfowl.

If you saw a pond being drained, it was to repair the liner. AFAIK, there has never been a plan to get rid of the ponds, only to fix the leaks and greatly reduce the HOA's water bill.

It is a very bad idea to feed wildlife. But if you insist on feeding ducks DO NOT FEED THEM BREAD!!!

Is Feeding Ducks Bread Bad - What to Feed Ducks

If you insist on putting wildlife at risk feed them this:

•Grapes cut in half
•Cracked corn, barley, oats, birdseed or other grains
•Frozen peas that have been defrosted
•Duck feed pellets available from farm supply stores

If you would like to watch ducks, geese, peacocks, swans, and other wild water birds such as cormorants, etc., in the wild, I highly recommend Floyd Lamb Park at Tule Springs. If you've never been there you probably won't believe such a place exists in Las Vegas. Birding Around Las Vegas, Floyd Lamb Park at Tule Springs

While in that area, stop by the Gilcrease Bird Sanctuary. I'm pretty sure that you can feed the birds there and they should have bird food available for that purpose. Gilcrease Nature Sanctuary OFFICIAL Page.

Also, Bonnie Springs Ranch has coin operated dispensers for duck food at their little duck pond. Bonnie Springs Ranch - Home

Or you could go here: Wetlands Park
