Floyd Lamb Park, with its
lakes, wildlife, and beautiful views of the Sheep and Spring
Mountain Ranges, is an oasis in the increasingly urban area of
Northwest Las Vegas. The Northwest Open Space Plan calls for a
Cultural Park Area to include Floyd Lamb Park and over 1,300 acres
of adjacent federal land. The 2,089 combined acres of state and
federal owned land included in the total Park boundary, support a
variety of passive recreational activities including fishing,
hiking, picnicking, equestrian facilities and is home to four lakes,
historic ranch buildings, archaeological resources, and endangered
plant species.
The Park, currently owned
and managed by the State of Nevada, will be transferred to the City
of Las Vegas by June 30, 2007. A Conservation and Redevelopment
Master Plan outlining facilities and maintenance strategies for the
future Floyd Lamb Park will be developed by Greenways Incorporated
and J.W. Zunino and Associates in conjunction with the City of Las
Vegas, the State of Nevada, and input from the public.
