I just randomly saw this pop up when I google searched public tracks in Las Vegas. Hehe... I totally agree with you, though. These track and field at the high schools should be unlocked for public use. We pay our tax dollars to these CCSD people.

Anyhow, also go to Liberty high school. They are located off Bermuda just a little north of St. Rose pkwy. But go there after 4pm. Most of the time the gate's open. Plus I've been able to use it even while the football team is practicing. The coaches don't mind. Just don't know if it'll be locked up once football season ends, though. But definitely UNLV track and field is open to public use all year round. Just in the mornings can be a hassle sometimes. Due to the UNLV sprinters taking up the track. I got kicked out once because of them.

Just can't use any of the tracks during school hours. Which sucks. I live in the southwest area too (Rhodes Ranch). So I know how you feel about finding good areas to run.

I hope this helps... Info coming from an active runner & triathlete.

That is a blast from the past

For UNLV, if you are an early riser, the track is opened up somewhere around 0530. The UNLV Track Team closes it at 0700 for practice just about every day. If you are running the track between 0600-0700, you will most likely be sharing it with one of the ROTC program's cadets--no issue as they will make room for you.

I never had the pleasure to run that track later in the day, so I can't speak intelligently on that portion.
