Park Is A Place To Experience The History Of The Westside
Las Vegas City Councilman Cedric Crear and Clark County Commissioner William McCurdy II invite the public to join them for the induction of the second group of honorees to be enshrined at the Historic Westside Legacy Park, Saturday, June 3, at 8:30 a.m.
The park is located at 1600 Mount Mariah Drive, and the event will feature an induction ceremony, music, and food trucks. The Historic Westside Legacy Park is a partnership between the city of Las Vegas and Clark County and opened in December 2021 with 36 honorees.
The 2023 honorees include:
“There are so many leaders and icons deserving of enshrinement at the Historic Westside Legacy Park, and it is an honor to welcome the class of 2023,” Councilman Crear said. “The park is a beautiful place where people can stroll and experience the history of the Westside and remember all who have paved the way for future generations in the community.”
“The 2023 Legacy Park honorees are a powerhouse group of individuals who have one similarity: they have made a lasting impact in our community and the lives of individuals in the Historic Westside,” Commissioner McCurdy II said. “Our future leaders are fortunate to have the rich history of these individuals to look up to and hopefully build upon in their lifetimes.”
The community submitted nominees and a panel of community volunteers selected the honorees. The announcement of the Legacy Park honorees was part of the annual African American Trailblazer Service Awards Program earlier this year.

Legacy Park is a tribute to the many trailblazers who have led the community through the years. The park incorporates unique elements, such as a timeline of the Historic Westside and an interpretive walking trail. It also includes public artwork and stories of the Westside, along with trees, landscaping, and a playground.
