Sunset Lake is one of the park’s central features. Mature trees, lawns, walking paths, picnic areas, wildlife habitat, and recreational facilities surround the lake.
Fishing is permitted from approved shoreline areas. Anglers must hold the applicable Nevada fishing license and follow current state and county fishing rules.
Bring fishing equipment, bait, water, sun protection, and a valid license. The park does not guarantee equipment rentals, bait sales, fish cleaning, or one permanent stocking schedule.
Follow posted limits, species rules, seasonal restrictions, and shoreline closures. Do not leave hooks, fishing line, bait containers, or other hazards behind.
Do not swim, wade, or enter the lake. The park does not advertise a public swimming beach, kayak launch, paddleboard area, passenger-boat launch, or paddleboat-rental program.
Children must remain supervised near the shoreline. Keep pets leashed outside the designated dog runs and prevent them from entering restricted water or habitat areas.
Sunset Lake includes a ramp for remote-control model boats. It is not a launch for full-size boats, kayaks, paddleboards, or passenger watercraft.
Model-boat users should follow posted operating areas, frequencies, safety rules, and event restrictions.
Waterfowl and other wildlife may be present around the lake. Observe animals from a respectful distance and do not feed, chase, capture, or disturb them.
Sunset Park contains 20 public outdoor pickleball courts. The large complex supports drop-in recreation, reservations, challenge play, lessons, leagues, clinics, and tournaments.
Unreserved courts may be available for first-come recreational use. Busy periods can occur during mornings, evenings, weekends, mild weather, leagues, clinics, and tournaments.
Players must follow posted rotation, waiting, paddle-rack, court-time, and challenge-court procedures.
Selected courts may be reserved through Clark County’s current online system. Reservation availability, eligible courts, fees, time limits, cancellation rules, and refund policies can change.
A reservation applies only to the assigned court and time. It does not reserve nearby courts, seating, parking, picnic areas, or tournament space.
Selected courts use a challenge-play system with a paddle rack. Players should follow the posted queue, rotation, game format, and sportsmanship rules.
Bring paddles, balls, water, athletic shoes, and other needed equipment unless an organized program states that equipment is provided.

The park includes four connecting trails totaling approximately 3.5 miles. Individual routes vary in length and surface and connect the lake, recreation areas, natural habitat, picnic sites, and parking areas.
Walkers, joggers, cyclists, families, and mobility-device users may share portions of the trail system. Keep to one side, pass carefully, and use an audible warning before overtaking another visitor.
Cyclists should slow near playgrounds, picnic areas, parking lots, intersections, and crowded lake paths.
Trail surfaces differ. Some newer routes use broad colored asphalt, while other sections may have different pavement or natural-surface conditions.
Visitors who need a specific smooth, firm, or step-free route should review the current park map or contact Clark County before traveling.
A fitness course provides outdoor exercise opportunities. Equipment availability, condition, and accessibility may change.
Inspect each station before use and follow posted instructions. Stop exercising if dizziness, weakness, nausea, confusion, or unusual fatigue develops.

Sunset Park’s official facility page lists five playgrounds. Equipment, shade, surfacing, age recommendations, and accessibility features may differ among them.
Children must remain supervised by a parent or responsible adult. Inspect equipment and surrounding surfaces before use, especially during extreme heat or after rain and maintenance.
Playground equipment and surfacing can become dangerously hot in direct sunlight. Test surfaces before allowing a child to climb, sit, or slide.

Remove aggressive, ill, injured, or uncontrollable dogs immediately. Do not bring food, glass, unsafe toys, or unattended children into active dog areas.
Dogs outside the enclosed runs must remain under control on a leash no longer than six feet. Owners must clean up after their animals throughout the park.
Bring water and confirm current fountain availability. Ground surfaces can become extremely hot during summer.
Trained service animals are permitted according to applicable law. Service animals are not required to use the off-leash dog runs.
Sunset Park contains the last remaining dunes from a landscape that once covered much of Paradise Valley. The protected natural areas also support birds and other wildlife.
Interpretive trails and signs explain the park’s natural and cultural history, including Southern Paiute use, ranching, agriculture, and the development of the regional park.
Remain on approved trails and respect fencing, habitat closures, and interpretive signs. Do not climb dunes, create informal paths, remove plants, or enter protected bird areas.
Observe birds and other animals from a distance. Do not feed, chase, capture, touch, or disturb wildlife.

Reservable sites differ in terrain, tables, pavement, restrooms, parking distance, and available electricity. Confirm the required features before booking.
