 Echo Trail Park celebrated its first year in the community on March 25. Since its opening, the park has become a beloved destination for families and outdoor enthusiasts alike, with walking trails, playground, a tennis court, and more.
Located on the corner of Buffalo Drive and Russell Road, this pristine park offers breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The park opened with just five of 30 acres developed. Commissioner Naft is looking forward to working with the community to continue to develop more of the available acreage.
“I am happy to see that the nearby community has so heavily utilized Echo Trail Park,” said Commissioner Naft. “This park was highly anticipated and has helped people reconnect with their neighbors, friends, and family this past year.”
The event gathered nearly 500 residents for food, live entertainment, a farmers market, games, and more. We look forward to continuing to host similar events at this and other nearby parks.

 The U.S. Department of Interior announced over $75 million in funding for three Clark County recreation facilities and an additional $3.5 million to help fund the Multi-Species Habitat Conservation Plan.
James Regional Park Sports Complex received $39,771,004 to design and construct the new James Regional Park Softball Complex with eight softball fields, one of which will be a championship-style field.
“I am thrilled that the Department of Interior saw the tremendous community benefit of the new James Regional Park Softball Complex and provided the funding to support this important recreational development,” said Commissioner Michael Naft. “In building this new complex, we are supporting our underserved softball community by not only providing a new space for our local leagues to play but also creating a wonderful location to host local, regional, and national tournaments.”
We know that softball is a popular sport in the area, and we're excited to provide a new and improved space for players to hone their skills and compete. We believe that this addition to James Regional Park will be a great asset to the community, providing a safe and fun place for families and friends to gather and enjoy time together.
