Fitness area opened at Mountain’s Edge
Clark County opened up the 18-acre Mighty Mountain Fitness area at Mountain’s Edge Regional Park on Friday.
It is the first phase of the 220-acre park, which is still under development. The park is at 8101 Mountain’s Edge Parkway, between Buffalo and Durango drives near Cimarron Road.
The park includes a sports wall for racquetball, soccer and other sports. There’s also a bicycle area with miniature stop signs and crosswalks to teach youngsters about bicycle and scooter safety. The park also offers exercise stations, turf fields, a 1.5-mile walking trail, restroom and picnic facilities, shade shelters and lighting.
The $8.5 million that paid for the park came from the Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act. The Bureau of Land Management provides funds from the sale of public lands to local government agencies with that law.
The next step for the park that’s being designed is a baseball complex with four fields.
