The City of Las Vegas Parks Division is currently removing old playground equipment at Hannah Park on Legion Drive, with the exception of the swings, in preparation for a new play station scheduled to be installed in November. The total project cost is $155,010.47, which includes $87,661.59 for playground equipment and materials and $67,348.88 for installation and labor. Each councilor is allocated $250,000 per fiscal year for small projects within their ward, and Councilor Michael Montoya chose to allocate funding to cover the full cost of the playground upgrade.
When Jeff Rudolph became Park Manager last year, he conducted a city-wide parks assessment and found that Hannah Park had some of the most outdated equipment in the system. The equipment could no longer be repaired or upgraded and had reached the end of its useful life.
After presenting the parks audit to the City Council, Councilor Michael Montoya of Ward 2 offered to assist with the project. Rudolph expressed excitement about the improvement, saying, “All of our parks need funding, but it’s wonderful to start with Hannah Park. We are extremely grateful to Councilor Montoya for his support, which will help give the community a safe, modern playground that families can enjoy for years to come.”
In addition to the playground improvements, safety upgrades have also been made in the area. A new stop sign has been installed at the corner of Calle Alegre and Legion Drive to improve traffic safety. A lighted speed sign and a mobile speed sign on Legion Drive have also been added to warn drivers to slow down, helping protect children and families visiting the park.
Mayor David Romero, Councilor Pro-Tem Marvin Martinez, Councilwoman Barbara Perea-Casey, Councilman Michael Montoya, and Councilman David Ulibarri remain committed to upgrading and maintaining parks while also seeking additional funding for improvements to public spaces. They are also working on increased measures for speeding violators and implementing advanced technology to improve enforcement for speeding tickets throughout the city, including vehicles with excessive noise and other traffic violations. These improvements aim to create safer, family-friendly outdoor venues where children and adults alike can enjoy recreational activities.
