About
Rainbow Family Park at 7151 W Oakey Blvd is a well-maintained public park in west Las Vegas with a 4.5 rating from 1,143 reviews — a number that reflects regular community use over many years. For Las Vegas families who want outdoor space without paying admission, this is one of the west side's most reliable options.
The park has standard family park amenities: playground equipment for multiple age groups, open grass areas for running and unstructured play, basketball courts, and picnic facilities with tables and shade structures. The open space feels generous in the context of the surrounding urban environment, which makes it particularly valuable for kids who need to run and play at full-tilt without being confined by a play structure.
Practical Las Vegas reality: the outdoor hours that are genuinely enjoyable are limited in summer. Las Vegas summer temperatures from June through September make midday park visits uncomfortable or dangerous, especially for young children. Early morning visits (before 9AM) or late afternoon after 5PM are the only sustainable summer windows.
Spring (March-May) and fall (October-November) offer the full Las Vegas outdoor experience without the heat constraint.
The park is open from 7AM to 11PM daily, which gives unusual schedule flexibility for a public park. It's free, which makes it an easy default for families looking for outdoor activity without the planning or cost of a paid venue. Pack a picnic and water; there are no food vendors on-site.
