Pebble Park

My kids and I have visited many parks through out the years. I'm here weekly for my son's soccer practices. But before that, I've only came here maybe 2-3 times. This isn't my favorite park on this side of town and let me explain why. 1. The park is older, which means the playground equipment is older as well. It's also a little small for my liking. 2. The restrooms are gross and smelly. I make it a point for my kids to use the bathroom at home beforehand, even if they don't have to go. 3. The grassy area where they have soccer practice is a short walk from the playground. You have to take a walkway which goes through a ditch surrounded by large rocks. There is no railing around this walkway. This is super dangerous as I see kids running or on scooters. God forbid someone falls and hits their head on the rocks. 4. I've seen homeless people perched around the park. 5. Parking sucks. There's a small lot with maybe 4 spots. So you are made to park in the street. And on the days we have soccer practice, street parking gets full since there are other teams there as well. So we have to park at the church across the street. Let me list off some positives so it doesn't look like I'm a Debby downer. 1. The grassy area is large and well maintained. I can see why teams choose to have practices here. 2. There's a small splash pad for the kids to cool down after playing. 3. It's pretty well lit in the evenings. I'm here often. Say hi if you see me.

If you have a dog or child, or just act like one, this park is for you! There is a play set, restrooms, some picnic tables and an open field that dogs can run amuck! Today were actually a bunch of better behaved dogs than children, haha!There is a lot of memorial trees and decorations. Gardens are kept trimmed and clean. Street parking.

Such a beautiful park with walking trails, lots of grass, water playground, picnic tables. It's so well maintained and colorful with trees and decorations.

We were having breakfast nearby and saw a number of people walking dog so we found our way to the parking lot and joined them. The is a playground for children. We found the park to be well maintained and quite nice.

This is an OK park with a small playground. My kids had fun playing on the one small jungle gym structure, which had slides and monkey bars and things to walk under. There is also a splash pad just steps away from the playground, but because we visited during the winter, the splash pad was not on. It gets cold in the winter in the desert! Many people think that the desert is just always hot, but that's not true. So if you didn't know, now you know.I saw a lot of people walking their dogs, so I'm thinking this is a good park for doing an activity such as that. It's across the street from an indoor dog park, but there is also an outdoor dog park here. It's basically just a big, open field, but it does the job. This park seemed relatively safe, although we saw some guy who might have been homeless sitting by the bathrooms. But we also saw a few families and couples walking around. This park is located just outside of a neighborhood, so I imagine it's used by lots of people.

If you want a playground that is not always crowded, this is the spot. The playground itself is enclosed, which is perfect for little ones. They recently added restrooms in the middle between the splash pad and playground. THANK YOU! That was much needed. There are a few pavilions around to use as well. Across the way is a big open area that many take their dogs to. However, it is not fenced off. There is a wrap-around side walk, good for small walks or kids can ride their bikes and scooters around. The splash pad does need to be upgraded. Some of the padding and water spouts need to be replaced.

I like this park for its out of the way location. It doubles as a flood wash and it makes for a layout thats discouraging to sorts teams. The playground is small, so there's never too many kids. Dog trafic is moderate at its busiest times.Good park.

Nice sized clean park north of the 215 Freeway in Las Vegas. Pet friendly as they have a long trail and a pedestrian bridge to cross over a rocky wash area. Decent playground for the little ones to play along with a water play area for those hot days. Parking lot available along with plenty of street parking.

My favorite thing about this park is that the play structure is completely enclosed, which is great since I have a 2 year old who likes to run off. However, on our most recent visit (03/09/2020), about half the playground is barricaded off and unusable. It was already a small playground to begin with. Knowing that the weather was getting nice and people would be venturing out again, I'm disappointed they haven't fixed this ASAP.

When you get off of exit 7 of Interstate 215, you leave the freeway for Eastern Avenue. Near the freeway it is a major arterial with consistent shopping centers, restaurants, and businesses. All these businesses add up to traffic. The result is that life on Eastern Avenue is often not life in the fast lane but in the slow lane. When developers over built this part of Eastern Avenue, they spared a 7-acre parcel of land at the southeast corner of Eastern Avenue and Pebble Road from asphalt. It is Pebble Park. Driving by Pebble Park often on my commute, it is hard to believe that there is a peaceful place bordering the stop and go traffic of Eastern Avenue. Yesterday, I would spend time in this place. I just left work and was sitting in that long red light where eastbound Pebble Road stopped for Eastern Avenue traffic. Sitting at the light, my eyes were looking toward a magnificent sundown over the nearby Black Mountain. One of my dearest activities is spending time in the open spaces surrounding Las Vegas. Unfortunately I can't get out there the series of days that I work. The sun coming down over Black Mountain is a connection to the open spaces that I cherish. When the long light finally changed to green, I proceeded to the first right which is Topaz Street toward the tiny parking lot. The complaint I have about Pebble Park is that the parking lot only holds three vehicles. The majority of the parking is along Topaz Drive. Pebble Park is rectangular shaped park between Pebble Road and the I-215 soundwall. When you walk into the park, you see a walkway toward a playground. This is a neat playground with tall flower sculpture things. The walkway crosses the Pitman Wash where it divides into an oval walkway through open space of grass bordered by Moon Nursery and Pebble Road up to Eastern Avenue. The walkway includes sufficient lighting. The few people that I saw were spending quality time with their dogs. There have been complaints over people failing to pick up after their dogs. I'll take this nuisance over graffiti. Pebble Park seems to be relatively graffiti free. When a park is graffiti free, it gives me the impression that the criminal shadow is not following me. Another thing that creates an impression that crime is not a major concern is that Moon Nursery has trees for sale alongside the oval trail. If crime is an issue, people would walk into the park to steel these nursery trees. The highlight of the park is the uninterrupted view of Black Mountain. Although Black Mountain is a few miles distant, this view gives it the illusion that it is close by. This is a spectacular location to take in the sundown and sunrise over Black Mountain. The pictures below are Yelp postcards of the sundown and sunrise over Black Mountain seen from Pebble Park. Pebble Park is a good Park that could be great. It's greatest challenge is connectivity. It is the westernmost point of the Pitman Wash Trail, the multiuse path that winds through Green Valley toward Cornerstone Park. Continuing onto the Pitman Wash Trail requires crossing four lanes of traffic on Pebble Road. I would like to see Pitman Wash Trail rerouted into the wash through a tunnel beneath Pebble Road that would connect to Pebble Park. Better yet, Pebble Park could be a hub connecting to Cactus Wren Park and the Beltway Bike Trail. If you drew a line directly south across Interstate 215, you would connect to the Cactus Wren Trail and perpendicular Beltway Bike Trail. The Pitman Wash tunnels under Interstate 215 could be expanded to accommodate people. This would improve the quality of life by expanding recreation opportunities and keeping bicyclists and pedestrians away from the major traffic of Eastern in the vicinity of Interstate 215. Sometimes in life it's the little things that are a big deal. On the long days when I work, it is a little thing such as the sun coming down over a mountain that is a big thing. After hours of negatively, watching the sun come down made my day. The thing I really like about Pebble Park is that it creates the illusion that Black Mountain is close up. I think I will see another day end at Pebble Park as the sun goes down over Black Mountain.
