The majority of the recently developed parks in Clark County are part of the Greater Clark Parks District program, which was approved by voters in the unincorporated urban area of the county in 2005. It provides maintenance and operations funding for 35 new parks, seven miles of trail and a number of new youth sports fields.
In 2011, the Greater Clark Parks District announced changes to its construction program because of projected funding shortfalls with the ongoing housing slump and economic downtown. For more information, read Parks district program changes: Answers to common questions.
