Park hours and general rules
Clark County park hours, access rules, and facility reservation policies apply to parks located in the unincorporated community of Enterprise. Many parks operate dawn-to-dusk policies or published hours per facility; check the facility reservation page before planning an event. For permitted uses such as amplified music, fundraising, or commercial activity, a special event permit or facility reservation is usually required.

- Small picnics may only need a shelter reservation; larger gatherings often require an event permit[2].
- Follow posted rules on alcohol, open flames, grills and waste disposal; some parks prohibit specific activities.
