Spring Valley Community Park 7600 West Flamingo Road, Las Vegas, NV 89147

"Love the dog park. The barbeque area is good. Lots of room to walk around. There may be one or two homeless people hanging out but they rarely bother anyone."

"I loved taking my dog to this park. She would get so excited every time we pulled into the parking lot. Unfortunately, the homeless have made me not want to return. It gets worse each time we went. I do have feelings and do feel bad for them. However, the last straw I had was going with my mother and my nephew. We wanted to sit down and enjoy the weather and could not find one gazebo/bench that wasn't being occupied by the homeless. One was even inserting a needle to his arm as we were walking by. Not what I want my 5 yr old nephew seeing. They throw their trash everywhere to blow throughout the park, (they have garbage cans everywhere mind you) they have their tents set up and whatever belongings they have scattered about. I would get approached quite often asking for money and a couple times they would get very angry with me when I said I'm sorry, I don't have anything for you. They still would continue to follow me and harass me. I am currently looking for another park that I can feel safer/not threatened at and one that is hopefully monitored much better than this one to take my dog to."

"Shadow loves this park! Unfortunately the homeless ruin the bathrooms and do drugs in them so they are always locked now. But besides that it's a nice park."

"I take issue with taking my grandchildren to the park at noon on a Sunday in August and the homeless have over run the park. Showering and washing laundry in the splash pad. Drying clothes on the benches. Sleeping under the playground equipment. Not knowing the mental well being and criminality, I can’t take the kids here anymore. Such a shame. Used to be a great park with a nice splash pad."

"I just went to this park this morning. It has a lot of desert landscaping but some trees. It looks like it was built on a wash so there are a few places you shouldn’t go when it rains. Quite a few picnic areas. They have four dog areas but not a lot of trees in the dog area. The park is bigger than it looks. Overall, a very nice park and great for walking the dogs."
