Clark County Shooting Park now called shooting range
The 2,900 acres in the northernmost part of Las Vegas Valley where people shoot at targets no longer will be called a park.
The Clark County Shooting Park was renamed the Clark County Shooting Range to better reflect the site's activities.
Commissioners approved the name change Tuesday.
"Park" evokes images of softball, soccer and Frisbee, said Commissioner Tom Collins, joking that bullets, not baseballs, fly at this complex.
The $61 million first phase, paid for with federal money, opened in early 2010 and has struggled to turn a profit.
The complex includes a pistol and rifle range, trap-and-skeet fields for shotguns and an archery center .
