It wasn't always like this, but dont let that bring you down. Its a large park good for children. Who are young and older. They also have a lot of soccer games for the youth. The picnic area is also nice. Ismts spacious and I thi k there were two pavilions. The best part are the trees. Most parks in reno dont have such luscious trees. So its nice in a hot day. The parj is well maintained, but beware of the goose droppings. Its everywhere. Its a must visit on a nice summer day or a cool fall. Winter might be fun, but I stay indoors.

I was here to do the short loop around the park. I came in the morning on a week day, so other than…read morea few people on the walking path, there really wasn't anyone around. The park has alot of open space for kids to run around and has a pretty nice playground. There is also a Skate Park and parking lot on the opposite side of the park. The eastern side of the path goes along a creek and there were quite a few birds, ducks and squirrels in and around the creek. I did see graffiti on one of the park signs, so that made me wonder how safe it is. In general it's a nice park, but I would have to come back during busier times such as evening or weekends to see how it is. For now though I'm only feeling 3 stars.

We really love this park! No parking lot but there's plenty of street parking. The trees lining the…read morepark make it feel separated from the road and neighborhood, which gives it almost a woodsy feel. There is plenty of wildlife (we saw lizards, butterflies, squirrels, and a lot of birds) and the flora is beautiful too - we especially enjoyed smelling the honeysuckle! The playground itself is so much fun for both kids and adults. Lots of spinning toys to get dizzy on. Our daughter is big into monkey bars, and there are quite a few creative options for her on that front! Standards like slides and swings round out the play equipment. The park also includes two huge green fields. One of them has a couple of hills that will be PERFECT for sledding in the winter! There are lots of paved spots to wander for a mini-hike. There's also a covered picnic area with grills and a restroom right next to it. The only things that would make this park perfect are TLC for the play equipment and a little more attention to the restrooms. Besides that, this is a wonderful spot to bring the kids, dogs, or just hang out in a shady spot and watch the world go by!

Ok, I may have been a little too harsh in my initial review of this park. The parking situation is…read moreterrible. I don't like how close the park is to the road.

What you will find is a well maintained (most of the time) park on the Truckee river. Quiet park where it is easy to have space to yourself. Lots of sun and shade. Ample parking for the area. The Truckee River Walk trail goes right through the park. Make sure you respect the river current here. The shore is nice but the river gets strong in the middle.

Tucked away from busy streets, this neighborhood park is a hidden gem--perfect for picnics,…read morestrolls, or letting the kids run wild (within reason). There's plenty of shade thanks to the beautiful, massive trees, and wide open grassy areas that make it easy to spread out and relax. Notable: - Smallish park, best for the younger crowd (I'd say 8 and under). - Life jackets are available to borrow (huge plus for families near the river). - Bathroom on-site (clean-ish depending on time of day). - There's a sand horseshoe pit with horseshoes provided--random but awesome. - Ample parking - Popular for jogging groups, photoshoots, and 4-legged parents (some leashed, some not). Worth mentioning: The playground surfacing is recycled rubber tire material. While it's soft and safer for falls, I'm torn on it--lots of new research around potential chemical exposure and PFAS concerns. Feels like one of those "it seemed like a good idea in the early 2000s" things. Would love to see Reno explore alternatives in the future.

There is a horseshoe pit. There is a covered eating area. There are tennis courts which appeared to be in good condition. There was another homeless person sleeping under one of the trees. Despite the homeless people who were occupying this park, the park was mostly clean. Street parking is available. Have fun out there. -Dadzone

I have been here a couple of times with friends and have not been overly disturbed by either the freeway or the homeless. It is a nice walk up the hill from downtown and is a very convenient spot to enjoy a cup of coffee and a treat from Homage. The north edge of the park along University Terrace is much quieter. The park looks well maintained. A lovely, shady, green spot to enjoy on a warm day.

It's clean. There's easy parking. And during COVID times this place always stayed quiet when the others nearby were crawling with kiddos. I like that the play structure has things for all ages on it. My son is three plus, but we've been coming here since he was two, and it has been fun watching him overcome his fears and learn to explore all this little park has to offer. I'm very thankful the city has these places all over for us to enjoy. When the weather is right, there's just nothing better than watching a kiddo being a kiddo, enjoying themselves and the world around them in ways only they know how.

The previous equipment was rusted, worn down and covered in grafiti. With the new park updates there is a small kids play area, a larger play structure and something new that I have not seen at many parks, a zip line! There is also more options for children with disabilities to play with added wheelchair accessibility and a swing for children who cannot use the rope. I love the inclusiveness, the sensory station for making sounds, and the shaded areas. Seeing a fully functional park to take place of the worn down one also has made the neighborhood more appealing. We are so excited to play here more, in the warmer seasons to come!
