Silverbowl Park in Whitney and the Whitney Recreation Center offer different recreational activities. The park has soccer fields, a walking path, and a playground; the center offers sports and community activities. For your trip planning, it helps to first decide what you want to focus on: time outdoors, climbing, or other activities at the center.

Park and Model Car Track

Silverbowl Park brings together amenities that make it possible to enjoy different kinds of time outdoors: soccer fields, a walking path, and a playground. Taking a walk is an activity in its own right, alongside playing ball on the fields or spending time at the playground. This makes it easy to choose how to enjoy the park based on your interests, rather than reducing it to a single use.

The Silverbowl Radio Control Car Track is located south of Silverbowl Park at 6800 E. Russell Rd. Its paved and unpaved tracks are open to the public daily from 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. The facility is designed for model cars in 1/4, 1/8, and 1/10 scales. Its focus is therefore different from the park’s amenities: it is dedicated to model cars, and the stated scales indicate the intended range of sizes.

Sports and Community at the Whitney Recreation Center

The Whitney Recreation Center has a gymnasium, a fitness room, and a climbing wall. It also offers programs for youth and teenagers, a computer lab, a game room, and a community room suitable for rentals. The activities cater to a range of interests—from exercise and youth programs to games and community spaces.

The climbing wall is 30 feet high and has four routes ranging from easy to difficult. If climbing is an essential part of your plans, check with the center about availability.

Nature and Art at Clark County Wetlands Park

Clark County Wetlands Park covers 2,900 acres and includes a 210-acre Nature Preserve. The park is home to numerous habitats and wildlife. The park’s total area and the area of the preserve refer to different sizes of the same natural area.

Public art is also part of this park: it is home to three giant concrete animal sculptures created by Miguel Rodriguez in 2008. Nature and art are therefore two distinct aspects of the park—habitats and wildlife on one hand, and the animal sculptures on the other.
