    There is a restroom and a out 3 covered picnic tables. There are toilets. It has a skate park, 2 play areas and a large green soccer/baseball field. Easy street parking. Watch out for burro poop!

    a little ass
    Tetsuro P.

    I came here to take a picture of a hot little ass. Here is the picture below. http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=-9G26AI0y2f18yN_wmkUEQ&userid=JM0GL6Dx4EuZ1mprLk5Gyg As you can see, it was about 122 degrees today so the little burro got pretty hot. My Yelp review apparently brought a ton of people here today. I have never seen more than 2-3 people at this park in the past. Today there were tons of people in BMWs and Mercedes hanging out. Obviously, they were all Summerlin residents. A couple of people kept telling me that some woman wrote a review on Yelp about how the Burros all just had babies and that's why they came here. A woman? Due to the fact that most people in Summerlin are illiterate and only have money because they are slightly less mentally disabled than the rest of Las Vegas, they have an inability to read the sign that reads: "$500 fine for feeding Wild Burros and Horses". Like every guy was feeding the burros today. Sheriff John McCarthy lives less than 50 feet from this park. And, the ranger and game warden come by every couple of minutes as well. I do not recommend ever feeding the burros here. Don't even bring food here for yourself. The burros are really persistent! One time they just kept leaning on me and pushing me with their heads until they were finally able to get the sandwich out of my hand. They even ate the meat in the sandwich. I thought burros were herbivores? What the hell is going on around here in Clark County? Next thing we know, these burros are gonna be eating people. The people at Blue Diamond are mostly all generally really friendly. The welcome center is actually located inside the church but is only open like 3 hours a day. Every house in Blue Diamond has at least 2 burros hanging out on the lawns. Some of the residents are so sick of them eating all the flowers that they put up wire fences to keep them out. http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=oS4SjEFf7neX8d1FhVtcVA&userid=JM0GL6Dx4EuZ1mprLk5Gyg Let's not forget that coming to Blue Diamond Park is free. There is no admission fee or donation box. That is great for all you NW Vegas residents who have a net worth of 56 cents. Also, please don't send me angry messages because there weren't slot machines and blackjack here. Don't come here expecting to enjoy anything Las Vegas related. Most people come here for the ass.

    Love this quaint little park hidden away in Blue Diamond. My husband and I have been here many Sunday mornings on rides with the Harley Owners Group of Southern Nevada. It's always clean, no trash and every time we've been there us and the group have been the only ones there! Love this park and adorable town.

    Surrounding the park is a tiny rural village where I felt more in rural Pennsylvania than outside of Las Vegas.

The trails go for a bit and have beautiful views of the mountains all around. Overall, the trails are pretty flat and are in the easier side, with lots of grave/rocks though. Much of the hike is in direct sun, so be prepared for that if coming mid-day. The rubber ducky trail is off of here where you can see the tree decorated with rubber ducks. It's a bit silly, but is a fun draw for the area.

This is a great trailhead for those that are new to hiking or just love hiking in general. The trails are mostly flat that loops around (5 miles total) and you have amazing Mountain View's all around. It was really windy that day so because of this we didn't hike the whole 5 miles. Though I was wearing the appropriate shoes and had a full bottle of water and walking sticks on me, I still felt like I wasn't really prepared for this trail, since I had my hands full and I did not have a backpack on me. Though I live in Henderson, making the 30+ minute drive out of the city to hike Late Night was definitely worth it! While it was windy overall, the temperature wasn't too hot or too cold to hike.

    Such a cool loop!…read more We're so lucky to have Red Rock Canyon so close to town and there are so many areas you can explore without entering the paid loop. This is one of them and I recommend checking out the little town of Blue Diamond as well where you can park safely and then go exploring. The loop itself is just under 8 miles. Depending on which part of it you hike your experience can include burros, an abandoned ranch, rubber ducks, and even a shot up classic car. This particular loop is free. You can begin the trail from several different areas. There's no shade so best time to be here is on much cooler days typically Oct - Apr. Also keep in mind that desert weather can turn on you very quickly so sometimes your hike starts with blue skies but can end up with clouds or even rain. So take advantage of the best time of year in Vegas which is now! Explore beyond Red Rock Canyon loop and have a lot of fun.

If it has rain d in a while then you'll probably encounter more loose gravel but that's ok because it just adds to the challenge. You can start your ride from Blue Diamond or leave a vehicle at Blue Diamond and shuttle up to "Late Night" on Blue Diamond highway. From "Late Night" you can take trails like: Mustang, viagra to land mine and then back into Blue Diamond. So many different trail systems! Lots of good inclines and fast down hills.

    One of the overlooked hiking areas in the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area is Blue…read moreDiamond Hill on the east side of Charleston Boulevard. There are a number of trails here, many made by mountain bikers who use the area for its challenging terrain. This hike can be made as hard or easy as you want. I make a long one out of it, but you could hike in a mile or so and then return to your car. It depends on your skill and the time you have. To get to the Cave Canyon Trail, drive past the entrance to the Visitor Center and Scenic Drive on Charleston Boulevard. About 1/2 mile beyond the entrance, there's a small parking area on the left side of the road where you go to ride horses with Cowboy Trail Rides. Park in this lot. From the lot, follow the dirt road as it heads toward a corral which usually has a good number of horses. At the corral, the road heads to your right. Keep following the road. You're going up the road that leads to the Cowboy Trail Rides area where they have their meals that come with certain rides. Just before the horse area, the trail goes off to your left and drops into a wash. There are a couple of ways you can get into the wash. It doesn't matter where just as long as you keep heading toward the two canyons in the distance. You will come to a fork in the trail as you look at the two canyons. Take the left fork. This is Cave Canyon. Follow the trail into Cave Canyon and enjoy the stunning limestone. If you stop and look at some of the boulders, you can see the fossilized imprints of clams that once lived on the bottom of the sea that was here. As you hike up this trail, you come to a dry waterfall. There are some boulders piled below to help you get up the 6 feet or so to get past the dry fall. If this looks too challenging, this would be a good place to turn around. For those with hiking skills, going beyond the dry fall begins a journey of following the canyon back and forth as it winds its way up Blue Diamond Hill. Eventually, you'll come to the overlook where below you is beautiful, Lady Las Vegas. It's a great sight to see our city stretched out below. On clear days, you can see Lake Mead but this is becoming rarer as the lake drops more and more. Retrace your steps and enjoy the many cacti, especially barrel cacti, that like the limestone of Blue Diamond Hill. If you go all the way to the overlook, the total distance will be about 6 miles. Here are some photos I took when I did this hike on December 29, 2009. If you have any questions about the hike, send me a message and I'll be glad to answer questions. Happy hiking!

    Blue Diamond Hill is an extraordinary place off the beaten path in The Red Rock Canyon National…read moreConservation Area. Its open spaces, western landscape, and beauty has touched my heart. Unfortunately, when I recently hiked in its Cave Canyon Trail it destroyed my heart. Seeing the graffiti epidemic creates a wound that band aids and water can't cure. A precious area of Blue Diamond Hill with so much to give is being wasted away by graffiti. The graffiti is so bad that it is running out of giving. What a difference a couple of years makes. The last time I hiked in Cave Canyon, with the exception of the lower cave, the graffiti was as sparse as a Park Ranger patrolling Blue Diamond Hill. Now it is on the level of a barrier wall in a ghetto along some parts of the canyon. Where is paradise-turning-into the ghetto of Red Rock Canyon? Facing north, it is on the right (east) side of State Route 159 between the exit and entrance of the 13 Mile Scenic Drive. The Cowboy Trails parking lot is the trailhead. This is the same parking lot of the Las Vegas Overlook. The parking lot is small and unpaved. It fills up fast. When I hike up Blue Diamond Hill, I park in the paved Red Rock Canyon Overlook parking lot, then walk approximately 1/2 mile alongside State Route 159 to the trailhead. So, from the unpaved parking lot, you want to continue hiking on a dirt road past two horse corals. Compared to the graffiti ahead, the scenery of horses with Blue Diamond Hill in the background is a 4 star picture spot. The horseriders add to the western landscape. On this note, it amazes me that people complain that the horses are destroying the landscape when criminals are doing severe damage vandalizing it. Anyway, the dirt road stops at the second coral and narrows into foot/ equestrian trails. To aim for Cave Canyon you want to envision a clock. Cave Canyon will be toward the 11 'o' clock position. Now you want to follow the trail into the wash and toward the canyon that will be toward the 12 'o' clock position and not toward the right at the 3 'o' clock position. The trail passes on a covering of desert sprinkled with creosote, Joshua trees, and rocks. Unfortunately in mid-2014, graffiti is the landmark to the canyon portion. "Enoch" in large black letters welcomes the hiker. Whatever it means, "Enoch" would be a common sight along the uphill trail. Into the canyon, the trail ascends a hill to the right. It follows the mountain wall to the right and the view below to the left. Halfway to the right is a small cave. I posted a picture that shows how graffiti destroyed this cave. Bird&hike.com also shows the graffiti infestation. A short distance past the small cave, you will reach a wall of rocks. From this point forward, class three scrambling is required to reach the upper cave. Of course, graffiti is the landmark. The reward for all the graffiti on the way up is the breathtaking views of Red Rock Canyon on the hike down. From this angle, you could see a post card view of Red Rock Canyon. The funny thing about Cave Canyon is that the surrounding trails are still untouched beautiful western landscapes. With Cave Canyon on fire from graffiti, until the National Park Service attempts to control it; I highly recommend reaching the top of Blue Diamond Hill from the Las Vegas Overlook Trail or the Cowboy Trails system. In conclusion I give Cave Canyon 3 stars. The way I see it, somebody has to give something to this unloved place that wants to give some kind of love. Hopefully the National Park Service will give Cave Canyon back to health so that it can in turn give future generations uplifting experiences in the caves of Blue Diamond Hill.

Downside: My grandson did find a steak knife near the top of the playground equipment. I asked him to kick it down to me, and I then used a doggy poop bag to pick it up and discard it in the trash. Really am surprised at how irresponsible people are with their belongings. Although the knife was dull, what in the heck was it doing on the playground equipment??? Come on people kids play here... In any case, the park was pretty clean and well maintained. Would definitely visit this park again.
