Craig Ranch Regional Park, Regional park in North Las Vegas, United States.
Craig Ranch Regional Park is a 170-acre park along Craig Road in North Las Vegas, built on the former Craig Ranch Golf Course of 1962. Its southern side holds ponds ringed by playgrounds, while the north side has an 8,000-seat amphitheater and an added lake. Sports facilities include a 65,000-square-foot skate park, six tennis courts, four volleyball courts, two baseball fields and two basketball courts.
The Craig Ranch Golf Course opened on this site in 1962. In 2005 the City of North Las Vegas bought the course with Southern Nevada Lands Management Act funds, preventing development. Construction of the park ran from 2009 to 2013; a $6.5 million Clark County award in 2013 funded the 2015 amphitheater and lake.
The amphitheater on the park's north side, seating over 8,000, opened in October 2015 and was funded by a $6.5 million Clark County award. It hosts annual events including Pirate Fest, Slides, Rides & Rock and Roll, and the Las Vegas Pride celebration. The community garden holds 62 plots that residents reserve yearly through the park office.
The park lies along Craig Road (State Route 573) near Commerce Street, west of U.S. Highway 93, in North Las Vegas. Parking areas sit at the edges, with a further lot added in the southeastern corner after the $9.5 million county award of December 2020. Paths connect the ponds and playgrounds in the south to the amphitheater and lake in the north.
The skate park covers 65,000 square feet, and the community garden holds 62 plots rented annually through the park office. In May 2021 red-eared slider turtles appeared in the ponds, likely released pets, since they are rarely found in North Las Vegas.
