Las Vegas, NV (KXNT) - New gates are now in operation at Sunset Park in an effort to enhance security. The newly installed gates will reinforce the hours the park is open to the public (6 am – 11 pm).
The gates will prevent vehicle access to the park when it is closed. In 2023, the County began closing restrooms in the overnight hours to reduce unwanted activities such as vandalism.
“Sunset Park is the crown jewel of the County’s park portfolio, having been enjoyed by generations of residents,” said Clark County Commissioner Jim Gibson. “These new gates will help to ensure that activities that challenge the safety of the park in the overnight hours are mitigated as much as possible and represent another resource the County has put in place to increase park safety for the betterment of our community.”
In addition, Clark County has also increased police patrols in parks in addition to Social Service outreach to offer and provide services to individuals who may be in need of county services such as housing or resources.
The County’s no camping ban went into effect in February and bans camping in places such as trails, parks, underpasses, washes and tunnels.
