All American Park has something for everyone. Running trails, splash station to run and play, tennis courts, plus swings and slides. It's huge! It's super spacious on grass for your family to run and throw the ball around. It's super ideal to bring your dog too considering there's space for dogs to play as well. The playground for kids offer multiple slides and swings, all on a rubber playground and under the shades. You can be sure there won't be any sand in your kids shoes that day! There are covered seating areas to stay cool and relax after playing under the sun. Another great thing is that there is a splash pad where you and your kids can run and play during those hot summer months of Vegas. And finally, there is covered parking available.
