According to the historical marker placed at this site, "In 1902 Marion Jefferson Blackwell purchased 360 acres from the State of Nevada, 556 acres of adjoining land from Sweeney's Hot Springs and a lot with a house. He raised carp and catfish to sell commercially also hay and horses. Neighbors used the ponds for swimming and ice skating. Born 1847, in Hall County, Georgia he married Nancy Amna Mayes in 1866. While living in Jamestown, California his wife died. He then moved the family to the Carson Valley near Genoa in 1895. He married Martha "Mattie" H. Willey in Yerington in 1899, then moved to Eagle Valley in 1902. He resided here till his death in 1914. His descendants continue to live in the area." Besides its rich history, the park is a small neighborhood park with a covered picnic area, a small playground, and a--I want to say walking path but it's not because it literally goes no where into the grass (srsly why is this here?), so we'll just say--some concrete. Although it's now just mostly a manicured lawn, there are still remnants of the pond in the form of two sloughs that flank the park. Cattails and blackbirds abound! Be careful where you step here, because it's difficult to discern where the ground and water meet. Also, apparently someone was murdered here in 2016 over a drug deal done awry. So, maybe avoid the place at night.

Maintenance? Why they can't do it and still allow it to be open is beyond me since the dumb guys are all just standing around doing nothing. Update: after posting my review, they said it was a bit harsh but they still welcome our dogs back. The truth hurts, they really were standing around NOT WORKING as the sign suggests they should have been doing. Haha thanks but no thanks, I don't really think our dogs would want to come back after they were disappointed and thought they were being punished when we saw the tiny closed sign on the gate.

Highway 50 is SO busy, and it's scary to turn north from eastbound traffic onto Centennial Park Drive. The park sign is really small and hard to spot on Highway 50. When you enter the park, softball fields 1,2 & 3 are on the left. Keep driving past Eagle Valley East golf course, the road will turn right and take you past the tennis courts and on to fields 4, 5, 6, and 7. The upper fields have bleachers, restrooms and snack bar. The entire park is clean and well maintained. It's a pleasure to watch games here. Plenty of head in parking available. I recommend parking in the upper portion and to the right - less chance of dings and broken glass from home run balls. All traffic is one way around the fields, returns to two way at tennis courts. No dogs or alcohol allowed, but snack bar serves beer.

If you have never been then you better plan to be there next year. Make sure you bring lots of layers, blankets (comforters are best) and they say that beer and alcohol really helps keep you warm, LoL. Any ways, back to the parks, there are 4 fields on the upper level and 3 fields on the lower level. All pretty decent fields to hit on, play on or even just practice. The only problem is that the parking can become scarce during Midnight Madness. All in all, great place, especially with the netted playground for the kids on the upper level.
