After months of anticipation—and plenty of construction dust—Summerlin West residents finally have something tangible to enjoy. A 22-acre slice of the planned 90-acre Grand Park is now open, quietly transforming from a work zone into a full-fledged neighborhood hangout.

Located at 1001 Kettle Ridge Drive, the newly unveiled section offers a preview of what’s to come—and it’s already drawing families, athletes, and curious locals looking to break in the fresh turf.

First look: Sports, shade, and space to play

This first phase delivers a solid lineup of amenities designed for both active afternoons and laid-back weekends. Built by The Korte Company, the space blends recreation with thoughtful design, all framed by scenic views of Red Rock Canyon and the Las Vegas Strip.

Here’s what’s ready for action:

  • Regulation baseball fields already hosting local teams

  • Six lighted pickleball courts (expect these to stay busy)

  • Basketball court and outdoor fitness equipment

  • Seasonal splash pad and playground for family-friendly downtime

There are also shaded picnic areas and a concession/restroom building—because no one enjoys a long game without snacks and a bathroom nearby.

More than a park—it’s the neighborhood centerpiece

Grand Park isn’t just another green space. It’s the heart of Grand Park Village, a master-planned community developed by Howard Hughes. Once complete, the park will stretch across 90 acres, making it the largest park in Summerlin and a central selling point for nearby homes.

Developers are already leaning into that appeal. Builders like KB Home are highlighting walkable access and trail connections in their marketing—because nothing says “premium living” like being steps away from pickleball at sunset.

And with Summerlin’s extensive trail network (200+ miles), the park isn’t just a destination—it’s a hub.

What’s next for Grand Park

While this opening marks a big milestone, it’s only the beginning. Additional phases are still under construction, with more amenities expected to roll out over time.

In the meantime, sports leagues are wasting no time. Early schedules already show Grand Park in rotation, signaling a busy spring filled with games, practices, and sideline snacks.

For now, consider this phase a teaser—and a pretty good one at that. Because in Summerlin, even a “partial” park opening feels like a full win.
