Cliffs Edge inside Providence

Learn more about the overall vision on the Providence master plan page.
Cliffs Edge is a named pod within Providence, so you’re part of the larger community’s parks, trails and events. That means your weekend plans are as simple as a short walk or a five‑minute drive.
Parks and trails you’ll use
Providence centers weekend life around three well‑loved parks and a linear promenade. You’ll find play areas for kids, workout spots, sports courts and dog parks.
The Promenade
A landscaped, linear walkway along 7195 Egan Crest Lane adds shaded seating and a playground for quick outings. It is a favorite for morning stroller walks or an after‑dinner stroll.
Knickerbocker Park

Huckleberry Park
At 10325 Farm Road, this park offers basketball, tennis and pickleball courts, multi‑use fields, two playgrounds and a large splash pad, plus separate dog parks. Weekend pickup games and family meetups are common here.

Active adults and pet owners
Start with a jog on neighborhood trails, then bring your pup to the dog park. Later, meet friends for basketball or pickleball at Huckleberry. On cooler days, add a quick hike at Red Rock or plan a Mount Charleston loop.
Plan for the season
