Construction on a 14-acre park site located in the area bounded by Durango Drive, El Capitan Way, Riley Street and Bright Angel Way, is starting today, August 4.

The project includes construction of two lighted lacrosse artificial turf sports fields, lighted pedestrian walks, lighted and paved driveways and parking lot, and restroom facilities. Work will take place Monday through Friday during daytime hours. The project will take approximately six months to complete. Most work will take place away from the roadways, however there may be some temporary traffic lane restrictions on Durango Drive between Centennial Parkway and Tropical Parkway. Wiser Construction is the general contractor for the project. The city of Las Vegas Department of Public Works is providing project oversight. The Leisure Services Department will be responsible for programming activities and events when the new park is completed. Funding for this $5.4 million improvement project is provided by Residential Construction Tax. -end Return to News Release Index
