The Clark County Shooting Park, adjacent to Sheep Mountain, is planned to be the largest shooting facility in the United States.[1] The 2,900 acres (1,200 ha) park is being built in stages by Clark County, Nevada.[2] At full build out it is anticipated that only 900 acres (360 ha) will be developed with the rest of the site serving as a buffer for the surrounding community. The park is located at the northern end of Decatur Blvd in unincorporated Clark County, just north of the City of Las Vegas boundary.[3]

History

Planning for the park started in 1984.[2] With construction starting in January 2008.[4] The first phase on 148 acres (60 ha) is being built at a projected cost of $64 million.[2][4][5] The park was dedicated on August 25, 2009 and had a soft opening on December 12, 2009 with limited hours and days of operation. Soft opening hours are from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM on Saturday and Sunday. A full opening is planned for mid January 2010. [5][6]
