Clark County Parks & Recreation is throwing open the doors of Walnut Recreation Center next Tuesday for a free, all-ages Halloween bash called Into the Walnut-Verse, complete with a candy trail, inflatables, games, food, and music. The event runs from 6 to 8 p.m. on October 27 at 3075 N. Walnut Road in Las Vegas, and organizers say no registration is required to attend.
The invitation comes straight from Clark County Nevada
, which posted on social media calling it an “epic, multi-dimensional Halloween bash you don't want to miss.” The event is presented by Clark County Parks & Recreation alongside District D Commissioner William McCurdy II, whose office has co-hosted holiday programming at the center before. McCurdy was elected to represent District D in 2020, took office in January 2021, and was chosen by his fellow commissioners to serve as Vice Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners in January 2024, according to
Clark County Nevada
. He previously served two terms in the Nevada State Legislature representing Assembly District 6 from 2016 to 2020.
A Seasonal Celebration for the Neighborhood
Into the Walnut-Verse brings Halloween activities to Walnut Recreation Center for local families.
District D includes Sunrise Manor and northeast Las Vegas. The free Halloween gathering offers families a chance to celebrate the season.
From Trailer to 50,000-Square-Foot Hub
The venue hosting this year's festivities has come a long way from its modest beginnings. Walnut Recreation Center opened in 1998 as a triple-wide trailer named the Walnut-Cecile Community Center, before Clark County invested $10 million in federal Community Development Block Grant funding in 2002 to build a permanent facility, according to prior Hoodline reporting. The facility now spans over 50,000 square feet and serves nearly 10,000 patrons monthly.
That growth has also come with ongoing investment in community art and services. In August, the center unveiled new public art installations, including a neighborhood mural and youth-created digital restroom vinyl wraps funded through the county's “Empowerment Art!” program, with local youth designing the artwork during the center's summer programs. The center also hosted a backpack giveaway. The facility serves lower northeast Las Vegas and nearby Nellis Air Force Base.
