About Lone Mountain Park

Lone Mountain Park provides outdoor recreation beside one of northwest Las Vegas’ most recognizable natural landmarks.

The park serves horseback riders, walkers, joggers, families, children, court-sport players, picnickers, dog owners, and community-event guests.

Its combination of equestrian infrastructure and neighborhood recreation distinguishes it from many other public parks in the Las Vegas Valley.

Lone Mountain rises immediately beside the developed park area. Trails and open spaces provide views of the mountain, surrounding neighborhoods, desert terrain, and portions of the Las Vegas Valley.

Facilities may close temporarily because of maintenance, weather, surface damage, organized events, safety concerns, or county operations.

Covered Equestrian Arena and Round Pens

The equestrian section includes a covered practice arena and two round riding pens.

The covered arena provides shade over the riding surface, but riders and horses remain exposed to outdoor temperatures, wind, dust, and changing weather.

Round pens may support groundwork, controlled exercise, training, or other appropriate equestrian activity when available.

Availability is not guaranteed. An organized event, maintenance, surface work, weather, or an approved reservation may affect access.

Riders must bring their own horses, tack, safety equipment, water, transportation, and supplies. The park does not advertise routine horse rentals, boarding, public lessons, guided rides, or veterinary services.

Users should inspect the footing, gates, fencing, and surrounding activity before entering an arena or pen.

Less-experienced riders should remain under the supervision of a qualified adult or instructor.

Horse-Trailer Access

The park provides an equestrian parking area suitable for vehicles transporting horses.

Drivers should use designated trailer routes and parking spaces. Do not block arena gates, fire lanes, ordinary parking aisles, accessible spaces, loading areas, or emergency access.

The equestrian parking lights may remain on until approximately 10:30 p.m. so riders can load horses after the park’s 10:00 p.m. closing time.

That lighting period is intended for loading and departure. It does not authorize continued riding or general recreation after closing.

Horse Safety and Conduct

Horses should remain under the control of a capable handler at all times.

Use properly fitted tack and equipment. Riders should consider helmets, appropriate footwear, gloves, reflective equipment, and emergency contact information.

Maintain safe spacing between horses and reduce speed near gates, pedestrians, children, dogs, vehicles, and congested areas.

Do not leave a horse unattended in a public circulation area or tie it to playground equipment, picnic structures, trees, signs, court fencing, or another unsupported fixture.

Users are responsible for cleaning up after their animals and following all posted equestrian rules.

Walking Trails and Lone Mountain Views

Trails through and around the park provide opportunities for walking, jogging, outdoor exercise, and mountain viewing.

Routes may include paved paths, natural surfaces, compacted soil, slopes, road crossings, and connections near the mountain.

Not every path is appropriate for every activity. Visitors should follow posted signs concerning pedestrians, bicycles, horses, dogs, and restricted areas.

The park’s developed paths should not be confused with an unrestricted climbing route to the top of Lone Mountain.

Anyone leaving developed park areas should expect rougher desert terrain, loose rock, steep grades, limited shade, and fewer services.

Visitors should turn around when heat, wind, darkness, fatigue, unstable footing, or unfamiliar terrain creates an unsafe condition.

Playgrounds and Discovery Areas

Lone Mountain Park includes several playgrounds and family recreation spaces.

Clark County highlights an educational area in the upper portion of the discovery park and a log-and-horse-themed play area.

Equipment, surfacing, shade, age recommendations, and individual play features may change because of maintenance or upgrades.

Adults must supervise children and keep them away from active riding areas, horse trailers, parking lanes, sports courts, grills, and maintenance zones.

Play structures may become extremely hot in direct sunlight. An adult should test exposed surfaces before allowing a child to use them.

Pickleball, Basketball, and Tennis

Sports amenities include two pickleball courts, basketball courts, and tennis courts.

Courts may be available on a first-come, first-served basis unless reserved, closed, or assigned to an organized activity.

Visitors should bring their own paddles, racquets, balls, water, and other equipment.

Court lighting, operating times, nets, surface condition, and availability can change.

Do not enter a court during active play. Players should avoid leaving bags, bottles, balls, or equipment in shared access routes.

Picnic Areas, Gazebos, and Reservations

Lone Mountain Park includes shaded picnic locations for individuals, families, and groups.

Clark County currently lists five first-come, first-served areas with a picnic table and shade shelter.

Three larger areas may be reserved. Current listed capacities range from 75 to 99 guests and vary according to the pavilion.

Tables, grills, playground proximity, restrooms, and shelter sizes differ by area.

Reservations must follow current Clark County procedures. Availability, fees, deposits, insurance, security, food service, amplified sound, vendors, permits, setup, cleanup, and cancellation rules can change.

Submitting a request or calling about a date does not guarantee a reservation. Groups should wait for confirmation before advertising the location.

First-come areas cannot be informally claimed far in advance by leaving unattended decorations, equipment, or personal belongings.

Dogs and Other Animals

Dogs and cats are permitted in Clark County parks when controlled by a handler and kept on a leash no longer than six feet.

A fenced dog-park area is associated with the Jensen Street park property. Owners should use the correct entrance and follow all posted enclosure rules.

A fenced off-leash area does not authorize dogs to run loose elsewhere in the park.

Keep pets away from playground equipment, active courts, picnic food, arena gates, horse-trailer loading, and horses unless both handlers can maintain safe control.

Some horses may react to barking or sudden movement. Dog handlers should shorten the leash and give horses additional space.

Owners must remove animal waste and dispose of it properly.

Animal shows, training programs, commercial activities, and organized animal events require advance county permission.

Community Events and Permits

Lone Mountain Park and its equestrian area may host approved community celebrations, equestrian activities, country-themed events, demonstrations, recreation programs, and private gatherings.

A public event may temporarily change parking, arena access, trail routes, court availability, picnic access, noise levels, and crowd conditions.

Organizers may need reservations, permits, insurance, security, sanitation, traffic control, animal approvals, vendor authorization, amplified-sound permission, or additional county review.

Commercial sales, paid services, food vending, organized classes, filming, and large gatherings should not be conducted without the required approval.

A prior event at the park does not establish that the same event, activity, schedule, or access plan will return.

Parking and Transportation

Free public parking is available in designated park lots.

The equestrian area also provides space intended for vehicles and horse trailers.

Parking may fill during weekend recreation, equestrian gatherings, community events, sports activities, and large picnic reservations.

Use marked spaces and follow current signs. Do not park on landscaped areas, trails, sidewalks, fire lanes, loading zones, arena approaches, or neighboring residential property.

Overnight parking is not permitted without authorization. Vehicles left overnight may be cited or towed.

Rideshare users should select a pickup location away from horse-trailer circulation and active vehicle lanes.

Visitors using public transportation should check current RTC routes, stops, walking distances, and service times before traveling.

Accessibility

The developed park includes paved parking, curb ramps, restrooms, and public pathways.

However, accessibility can differ among playgrounds, picnic shelters, court entrances, equestrian surfaces, natural trails, and routes near Lone Mountain.

Arena footing, loose gravel, sand, soil, slopes, and trail transitions may not be suitable for every mobility device.

Visitors who need an accessible picnic table, nearby parking, a step-free route, restroom information, companion seating, or access for an equestrian participant should contact Clark County before visiting.

Temporary events may introduce barricades, trailers, tents, electrical cables, crowds, or altered walking routes.

Desert Weather and Outdoor Safety

The park is outdoors in the Mojave Desert. Heat, intense sunlight, wind, dust, cold winter mornings, storms, and rapidly changing conditions can affect a visit.

Summer temperatures can become dangerous even during morning and evening hours.

Bring more water than expected, wear sun protection, and avoid strenuous activity during extreme heat.

Horses, dogs, children, older adults, and people with medical conditions may become overheated before symptoms are obvious.

Do not leave people or animals in a parked vehicle.

Lightning, flash flooding, high winds, blowing dust, or damaged surfaces may require visitors to leave an exposed trail, arena, court, or picnic area.

Call 911 for an emergency. Give responders the park name, street entrance, nearest facility, and a clear description of the location.
