Las Vegas Ballpark, a 10,000-seat venue in Downtown Summerlin, is home to the Triple-A Las Vegas Aviators. The ballpark, designed by HOK, pays homage to Howard Hughes’s aviation legacy. The landscape design welcomes fans with grand allées of palms framing the streets. Flexible gathering spaces make the site a year-round destination with plaza materials that echo the hues of nearby Red Rocks and layered plantings of drought-tolerant species—a sustainable response to the Summerlin Desert climate. Large shade trees and artful screening between the adjacent transit station encourage visitors to linger before and after games.
The plaza integrates seamlessly with the ballpark, where fans can enjoy the many amenities, including suites, party decks, bars, and a center-field pool. The 360° sloping concourse, complete with breezy mesh seats that are up to 50°F cooler than traditional seats, enhances comfort while promoting airflow.
The ballpark is directly connected to the Downtown Summerlin outdoor mall via an enhanced pedestrian connection and is an important anchor in this mixed-use hub, along with Golden Knights City National Area, Red Rocks Casino, and recent office buildings.
Honored as Triple-A Ballpark of the Year by Ballpark Digest in both 2019 and 2021, Las Vegas Ballpark has become a centerpiece for community entertainment and a hallmark of modern stadium design.
