The park is large but well-laid out with a central road, wheelchair access paths, parking, and regular public bus service. Shady areas offer needed breaks from the sun while at the same time preserving an outdoors-focused experience. Recreational facilities are open late and are as unrestrictive and welcoming as possible. One of the most attractive features of Desert Breeze is that it is not overly manicured and blends in with the local desert flora.

Tourists can take advantage of the park's proximity to the Strip. The park is also designed in accordance with local climate and geography such as by minimizing water use.
