Local residents will celebrate the third anniversary of the opening of the Robert E. “Bob” Price Recreation Center at 3:33 p.m. Saturday, March 3, with the traditional annual basketball game at the center.

The Price Center, 2050 Bonnie Lane, is on the north side of Lake Mead Boulevard, east of Nellis Boulevard. As always, the basketball game will feature some local community leaders and rising youth stars from the center. The event is free to attend.

The Price Center has meeting rooms, exercise and multi-purpose rooms, teen and pre-school rooms, and a gymnasium with full-size basketball courts. The center is next to the Cora Coleman Senior Center and walking trails with shaded fitness stations, exercise equipment and benches. The trails are between the centers and Clark County Fire Station 20.

The center’s namesake, Robert E. “Bob” Price, a Nevada assemblyman for more than 28 years, will be in attendance Saturday.

Clark County is opening 11 pools and water parks for free for the Fourth of July.

The pools will be open for free swimming from noon to 4 p.m. on Monday. The county hopes the free time will introduce its facilities to people who have never tried them before. The water parks and pools include slides, play areas and shallow pools for young swimmers. 

Proper swimming attire is required. Children under 8 must be accompanied by an adult. Only floatation devices approved by the U.S. Coast Guard are allowed in the pool. No alcohol and no glass is allowed in the pool area. 

Here is a list of the pools open for free on Monday:
