Lorenzi Park

Lorenzi Park is a public park in northwestern Las Vegas with two lakes, walking paths, and open recreational areas spread across its grounds. The landscape combines water features with surrounding desert terrain, creating distinct zones for different activities.

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.

During the 1950s, the Twin Lakes Lodge operated within the park as a place for people seeking rapid divorces under Nevada's residency requirements. This made the location a distinctive refuge for those seeking quick legal transitions.
