Residents spruce up Summerlin park

Nearly 40 volunteers helped clean up The Pueblo Park in Summerlin recently. The event marked the transfer in ownership of the park from the city of Las Vegas to the Summerlin Community Association.

Randy Ecklund, executive director of The Summerlin Council, said the city felt the "park's unique design and desert landscape topography would be better maintained" through the association, which owns and manages common areas within the master-planned community.

The nearly 62-acre linear park showcases desert landscaping and preservation; it was built within a natural drainage arroyo. One of 19 major parks in the community, it also features a desert interpretive garden, two children's play areas, paths, a basketball court, open play areas, an exercise station area and restrooms.

The council, the nonprofit branch of the association dedicated to recreational, educational and social events for residents, helped organize the cleanup.

Developed by The Howard Hughes Corp. in villages, Summerlin ranked as the nation's best-selling master-planned community for much of the last decade, according to independent surveys.

The community along the western edge of Las Vegas features more than 100 miles of trails, schools, houses of worship, retail and business centers, medical facilities and cultural facilities.

Available single-family homes, townhomes and condominiums are showcased by nearly 120 models. Homes are priced from the mid-$200,000s to more than $700,000. Custom-home sites in The Ridges village are priced from the $400,000s to more than $1 million. Monthly rent for apartments starts from the low $800s.
