About the Master Plan

Parks and recreation are an important part of improving the quality of life for Las Vegas citizens. They provide people an opportunity to exercise, relax, and congregate for group activities and special events. In addition, parks add an aesthetic value to the city, which improves public perception and interest in the area. Parks and Recreation: improves economic health; reduces crime; contributes to the conservation of natural resources; provides educational, recreational and cultural activities for youth and adults of all ages; creates a strong sense of community; potentially increases the value of property; promotes an increase in fitness and a reduction in obesity; contributes to the preservation of aesthetic values; and supports overall quality of life.
