Link Piazzo Dog Park opened in September, 2008, adding a popular feature to
Hidden Valley Regional Park. It has become a popular attraction for both dogs and their people.
Rattlesnake Mountain Skate Park
Rattlesnake Mountain Skate Park is a popular place, always full of kids whizzing around and jumping from over 30 features designed to enhance the skating experience. The 40,000 square feet of concrete attracts riders on all types of wheeled contraptions - skates, skateboards, bikes, and scooters. Both beginners and advanced riders can have fun at Rattlesnake Mountain Skate Park, honing their skills on a variety of bowls, half pipes, street style banks, curbs, a 170-foot long snake run, complex handrails, launch ramps, flat and round banks, and a big paved hole the size of a backyard pool. In skater lingo, a couple of the features are called "tombstone" and "bridge of death." There is a separate parking lot on the north side of the skate park, with access from McCarran Blvd.
