Lorenzi Park, Public park in northwestern Las Vegas, United States.
Lorenzi Park is a public park in Las Vegas with two lakes, each containing an island, plus a pool, a dance pavilion, and orchards. The park covers 80 acres and sits at 643 meters above sea level. Its band shell on one island serves as a stage and outdoor movie screen.
David G. Lorenzi established this location as a private resort in 1926 with lakes and recreational facilities that required an admission fee to enter. The property later transitioned to public ownership and became free to access.
The park became a social hub where residents gathered for live music, dances, and celebrations during Las Vegas's early years. People came together here to enjoy entertainment and community events in an outdoor setting.
The park is open year-round with paved trails around the lakes and multiple picnic areas throughout the grounds. Bring water and sun protection, as the desert sun can be intense during daytime visits.
The 48-room Twin Lakes Lodge drew guests who had to stay six weeks to establish Nevada residency for divorce; the motel added horseback riding, rodeo events, fishing and Western-style food. Scientists and their families working at the Nevada Test Site also lodged there in the 1950s.
