They also have a large grass field, which is nice. The only parking is street parking and there are no bathrooms. Overall, nice park for little ones, but don't bring your 5+ year olds here.

Today, Tuesday, May 28, 2019 I went to the Carson City Parks & Recreation Department. I had two…read morequestions about parks in the municipality's limits. The first is known unofficially as "Roop Street Dog Park" and is located at the southwest corner of South Roop Street and East 2nd Street. The second is right across from the Nevada State Library & Archives, on the east side of North Stewart Street between East Musser Street and East King Street. I had posted on the Yelp message boards with questions as to what these parks were called, so I could look them up and check in on Yelp with not many answers. You can see the threads here: https://www.yelp.com/topic/carson-city-need-the-name-of-this-picnic-park-in-carson-city and here: https://www.yelp.com/topic/carson-city-need-the-name-of-this-dog-park-in-carson-city. A check of the Carson City website also yielded no clues, despite its numerous listings for its parks. I had gotten tired of not knowing, so I decided to pay the department a visit to find out, once and for all. I had first gone to Carson City Public Works, which was next door. That was where my GPS led me, but it wasn't clear. They told me I was close, and then pulled out a laminated map to show me exactly where. They must get this a lot, lol! They said GPS also leads customers for Parks & Recreation to Public Works. Ok! I then drove to the correct address. It was late, at 4:50 PM, just before closing, so I rushed to get here. I went in, and no one one was there. The sign said to ring the bell. I didn't, but chose to sit down to search for the locations of the parks on my phone, to have ready to show them. A few seconds later, a gentleman came out. I told him my situation. He immediately knew of the park when I said South Roop Street near East Second Street. He said that patch of land belongs to the state, but there was no name, as fair as he knew. He said people did use it for off-leash dogs though (even though it is not enclosed). Then I described the second park. I said it was across from the Nevada Archives, and he did not know what I meant. Then I said Nevada State Library, and I said on Stewart Street. He immediately knew that one as well. He said that was also state land, and he was not sure of the name. I asked I had asked the librarian across the street, and she did not know either. We then briefly discussed the move of the Carson City JAC headquarters from this address to the end of the street. I was very satisfied with my trip today, and thanked the employee for his help. I went to check in on Yelp, but this location did not have a page, so I had to create one in my car.
