Slide into Summerlin: Stonebridge Park

As a local mom raising an energy-packed toddler in Las Vegas, I have a secret rule when it comes to finding parks: if I’m going to sweat through my shirt, it better be worth it. Cue Stonebridge Park—a total game-changer tucked in the picturesque heart of Summerlin.

This isn’t your run-of-the-mill neighborhood park with a lonely swing set and scorched mulch. No ma’am. Stonebridge Park is an 11-acre slice of mom-approved heaven that opened in 2021, and it has quickly become one of our family’s go-to spots for an all-day play fest or even a spontaneous picnic dinner.

Not Your Average Playground

First, the playground at Stonebridge Park. I need to talk about this playground because it is not playing around. It’s colorful, creative, and actually invites kids to think and explore—not just climb up and slide down. There are all kinds of unique structures to climb, spin on, crawl through, and balance across.

Let your kids have a crack at the many spring rockers, climbing ropes, or the sphere that’s built with ropes and climbing structures!

It’s like a mini obstacle course designed to keep them moving and entertained for way longer than you’d expect. My two-year-old calls it “the ninja park,” and honestly, he’s not wrong. Meanwhile, my toddler waddles around trying to copy the big kids while I get a few peaceful sips of iced coffee under one of the shaded picnic tables. It’s a win-win.

What I love most is that the playground was clearly designed for play, not just to check off a list of features. Everything is interactive, open-ended, and feels fresh. It’s also surrounded by soft lawn space, which means when the kids need a change of pace, they can run wild on the grass, kick a ball, or stair at the sky.

It’s giving wholesome childhood memories, and I’m here for it.

Let’s Talk Shade, Baby

If you’ve spent more than ten minutes in a Vegas summer, you know shade is not optional—it’s essential. Stonebridge Park gets it. The picnic tables are covered, and the structures themselves offer spots of relief.

We’re not talking about a sad little overhang either. These are actual shaded areas where you can eat lunch, reapply sunscreen, or just chill while the kids do their thing.

I’ve packed everything from peanut butter sandwiches to sushi takeout and plopped down for park picnics that felt almost like a vacation. Bring a blanket, bring bubbles, bring a speaker with mellow tunes—there’s room for it all.

Game Time: Courts for Everyone

Beyond the playground, there are real activity zones for bigger kids and dads who still think they’ve “got game”. The basketball courts are clean, open, and almost always buzzing with families and friends. I’ve seen everything from father-son shootouts to groups of teenagers playing full games.

And then there’s the pickleball, soccer field, and tennis courts. The courts are in great condition, and on weekends they fill up quickly. So if you’re a fan, bring your own gear and jump in. It’s surprisingly addicting, and your older kids might love it more than you think.

Big Space, Easy Vibes

Stonebridge Park stretches across 11 acres, which means even when it’s busy, it never feels crowded. There’s plenty of room to spread out, find your zone, and enjoy the space your way. Some families are having birthday parties on the lawn.

Others are tossing footballs. One time I saw a group of moms doing stroller yoga in a corner of the field. The park’s layout is open but purposeful. You’re never too far from a bathroom, and there are pathways for scooters, bikes, or leisurely stroller walks when the littles need a nap reset.

Budget-Friendly Fun That Hits Every Time

Look, not every weekend needs to include a museum ticket or water park fee. Sometimes we just want to load the kids in the car, grab drive-thru lemonades, and hang out somewhere that doesn’t cost a cent. That’s where Stonebridge Park shines.

It’s one of those rare parks that checks all the boxes: shaded seating, updated equipment, open space, clean facilities, and enough variety to keep different ages entertained. It also happens to be really pretty, which just makes the whole experience feel a little more special.

If you’re anything like me, always juggling schedules and snacks and nap windows, this park makes it feel like you’re nailing it—even if you showed up with crumbs on your shirt and forgot the wipes again.

Get the Most out of Your Visit

• Go early in the morning or late afternoon for cooler temps and better parking.
• Pack your own balls, paddles, and snacks—you’ll want to stay longer than you planned.
• The clean bathrooms are a huge plus, especially with younger kids.
• Great for birthday parties on a budget! Just bring balloons, order pizza, and you’re good to go.
• Don’t skip the lawn games—frisbee, soccer, or even just bubbles make it extra magical.

So, whether you’re chasing toddlers, entertaining tweens, or just trying to make it to nap time without losing your mind, Stonebridge Park is one of those spots that feels like a hidden win. No entrance fee, no reservations, just fresh air, fun structures, and that unbeatable Vegas sunshine.
