Northwest Las Vegas is getting a combo of police presence and play space, with a new substation and a two acre city park planned on the edge of Skye Canyon and expected to open in early 2027. The project bundles a roughly 13,300 square foot Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department facility with public amenities including a skate park, playground, walking trail and picnic pavilions, aimed at serving fast growing neighborhoods such as Providence, Skye Canyon and Sunstone, according to city officials.
Project at a Glance
According to the City of Las Vegas capital improvement plan for fiscal years 2026 through 2030, the substation is planned for the southwest corner of Hualapai Way and Grand Teton Drive, with an estimated completion date of June 30, 2027. The planning document outlines design and construction funding and notes that the parcel sits within a Bureau of Land Management tract the city is developing as part of its northwest expansion.
Cost and Funding
A City of Las Vegas news release pegs the project at about $27.2 million and names Simpson Coulter Design Studio as the architect and CORE Construction as the contractor, while confirming that an adjacent two acre park will open alongside the station. City planning documents break the spending into roughly $25.65 million in construction costs, with total project funding shown near $28 million, a mix of contributions and fund balance that the city has programmed in its five year capital plan.
Park Features and Community Benefit
The park is slated to include three picnic pavilions, a skate plaza, a walking trail and a playground, and the city has credited a $1 million donation from Green Valley Grocery toward the public space. Local police have framed the project as a way to put officers closer to their patrol zones while giving neighbors more reasons to be out in the same shared spaces. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department has highlighted the project on its social channels; see the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department post.
Why It Matters
Skye Canyon and nearby subdivisions are adding thousands of homes, and local reporting points to new schools and services arriving alongside that housing boom. Earlier coverage has detailed a nearby Clark County School District elementary campus and the area’s broader suburban build-out, which city planners say is helping drive investment in parks and public safety infrastructure.
Construction and Next Steps
CORE Construction is serving as the project’s general contractor, and the city has been soliciting design build proposals and bids for site work, with the project also appearing on public RFQ listings for contractors. Local outlets, including KTNV, have recently summarized the timeline and amenities as the city moves to finish construction in time for an early 2027 opening.
