hikes like the Children<br />

1 Lots of things can be done with all the land. Money always a problem. But any<br />

activity is a good activity. Zip lines are cool, special events always fun.<br />

Concert/amphitheater would be tremendous - we go to Utah every summer.<br />

Look forward to seeing the progress!<br />

17 The current MTB trails are impressive. Some of the obstacles are too much for<br />

me. There needs to be ample beginner options as well with signage & maps.<br />

18 This area has a ton of potential as a unique recreation area and opportunity.<br />

Having a variety of trails in this area would be great for the southwest community<br />

and the entire valley, in fact the sooner the better. Do not wait.<br />

19 Mountain bike trails for all levels of riders are badly needed. May 4, 2012 6:57 PM<br />

20 This proposed development would be a great idea and much needed for this<br />

area. Long time coming.<br />

21 While playgrounds and ball fields would be nice, I am concerned about light<br />

pollution in such a beautiful area. I think the park should not have lights and<br />

should close at sunset.<br />

22 the southwest area is in desperate need of some type of community center and May 3, 2012 11:33 AM<br />

organized sports teams for young children<br />

23 Incorporate activities that aren't available anywhere else in the valley. Camping<br />

site for tents (not RVs), zip line would be fun (discounts for bringing your<br />

recycling on site to set an example), summer heat relief like a man made<br />

waterfall in a natural setting with the water recirculating, horseback riding (Mt<br />

Charleston is so outdated), whatever happened to the water parks idea? I was<br />

ready to buy an annual pass for my family!!<br />

24 Great area. Support it 100 % May 2, 2012 5:53 PM<br />

25 With all the parks we have in this <strong>County</strong> why do we need another one? May 2, 2012 5:53 PM<br />

26 Bootleg Canyon with its MTB trails, River Mountain Loop and gardens is a good<br />

example.<br />

May 2, 2012 12:35 PM<br />

27 It would be nice to have solar panels and LED lights to save on future costs. May 2, 2012 12:24 PM<br />

28 I cannot stress the importance of a Multi-Use/human-powered trail system that<br />

will allow Mountain biking, horseback riding and hiking in the area.<br />

May 2, 2012 11:51 AM<br />

29 A combination of Red Rock Canyon and the Springs Preserve would be ideal. May 2, 2012 11:33 AM<br />

30 A new trail system developed for mountain bike, hiking and equestrian would<br />

give the other amazing areas of <strong>Nevada</strong> a rest and people more options to<br />

explore our wonderful environment.<br />

May 2, 2012 1:11 AM<br />

31 Consider how many times people will use the system in the survey May 1, 2012 7:24 PM<br />

32 Make it a great place for human travel, outdoor education, and solitude. Apr 30, 2012 4:02 PM<br />

33 Red Rock is overcrowded. This is a good opportunity to have natural open<br />

space to explore. Primitive Trails would be great.<br />

34 Las Vegas needs more mountain bike trails with facilities such as paved parking<br />

and restrooms.<br />

35 Maybe involve youth outdoor sports like a competitive mountain bike race series<br />

annually on the trail system<br />

36 A trailhead with restrooms and parking lot would be great. Apr 28, 2012 1:05 AM<br />

37 Love to see more mountain bike trails Apr 27, 2012 7:18 PM<br />

38 see you at the open house. Apr 27, 2012 3:01 PM<br />

39 Protection from off road rv and motorcycle damage, illegal shooting and dumoin<br />

and graffitti is very important to consider. Protection of wildlife habiat is very<br />

critical. Is it necessary to have a mountain park with Red Rock so nearby? How<br />

ill the funds be raised to develop this park when other parks which are already<br />

developed have been closed or not maintained or not completed?<br />

40 A Urban Mountain Bike park with access to mountain bike trails that Could<br />

connect to the Blue Diamond?Cottonwood Trails will be great<br />

41 Having sources like IMBA and others involved that are professionals we can<br />

have a bike skills park like Valmont<br />

http://bouldermountainbike.org/valmontbikepark Also Lee McCormack of<br />

leelikesbikes.com would be a great source for such a project<br />

42 <strong>Recreation</strong>al / off road vehicles should never be allowed on trails. They are<br />

pollutants and harmful in many ways.<br />

43 Very excited to see what happens with this place Apr 26, 2012 11:44 PM<br />

44 This is a beautiful area, the views are amazing. The hiking is challenging, and<br />

the night sky is fabulous. So much potential.<br />

45 Please allow this project to go through! Las Vegas has a very active mountain<br />

biking community and we would love to have more options!<br />

46 They're is a Mtb trail network there now please incorporate it into your master<br />

plan<br />

47 Vegas is in desperate need of some really well designed mountian bike trails.<br />

Especially some freeride/ dh trails.<br />

48 I love the idea! Need to get those city folk, especially kids, out in nature! Apr 26, 2012 7:06 PM<br />

49 Stop as much traffic in our natural areas. Just stop. Apr 26, 2012 6:59 PM<br />

50 Please no bus/tour bus sites. The mountain bike community is growing at a rapid<br />

rate and partake in many charitable functions.<br />

Apr 26, 2012 5:46 PM<br />

51 Continue to maintain the history of horse in the valley Apr 26, 2012 5:44 PM<br />

52 We enjoy hiking around the area. Would really love a Dog Park here, since now<br />

we have to drive to Desert Breeze Park<br />

Apr 26, 2012 5:42 PM<br />

53 It would be wonderful to have a place to mountain bike for all levels. Apr 26, 2012 5:38 PM<br />

54 mountain bike trails Apr 26, 2012 5:11 PM<br />

55 Bike,walk,run trails. As natural as possible. Encourge wildlife habitions Apr 26, 2012 4:49 PM<br />

56 If bike trails are going to be built please have actual mountain bikers help design<br />

them, this will prevent illegal or unauthorized building from occuring.<br />

57 This is excellent news. It's high-time that Las Vegas caught up with cities like<br />

Phoenix and Denver in this!<br />

58 Tables and Barbecue grills would be nice. It would be great to have a barbecue<br />

after a good mountain bike ride.<br />

59 Im all around this area.im born and raised here in vegas.great spot for outside<br />

fun.<br />

62 Creative and professional mountain bike trails Apr 26, 2012 1:33 AM<br />

63 Mountain biking trails attract residents and visitors, as well as $$ to the area.<br />

Please build more!<br />

64 When trails are built please seek input from IMBA or SNMBA so that they are<br />

done right.<br />

65 Please preserve the land and not over develop, as a family of <strong>Clark</strong> <strong>County</strong> we<br />

appreciate all the open land. Mountain biking is our passion and we are always<br />

seeking new trails to ride on.<br />

66 The Anthem East Trails are a great example of multi-use trails in a near urban<br />

setting. The trails are being well received by the community and seeing a lot of<br />

usage. Increasing the number of mult-use trail opportunities like Anthem East<br />

would differentiate Las Vegas from almost every city. I'd like to be invloved.<br />

67 This area offers an outstanding opportunity for the <strong>County</strong> to create a unique<br />

nature oriented park, different from the other county regional parks. The<br />

development should be oriented more towards non-motorized trails, picnic<br />

facilities, and interpretive facilities. Also, it would be good to look into adventure<br />

type trails that might attract more interest in kids,. There is a cool trail at Mohave<br />

National Preserve at the Hole-in-the-Wall area with chain through a slot canyon<br />

that makes for more of an adventure experience for people.<br />

involved is very important. thanks...<br />

70 I hope you are using local consultants Apr 23, 2012 12:44 PM<br />

71 I have ridden trails via horsback for over 10 years in the valley. I am continually<br />

saddened at the trash and lack of respect the public has for our land. I believe<br />

you should charge an entrance fee and patrol the facility users (even use<br />

volunteers on horseback!) To keep the area pristine.<br />
