This review is for San Rafael's outdoor concert venue during Artown…read more I had never been to this park's concert offerings and was happy I did for Artown's closing concert. The evening weather was perfect for the setting. Warm and cool breezes, great collective company, and good music. Families enjoying themselves. Highly recommended.

We since moved away from Reno, so it was special to be able to return after all this time with our children. My bias aside though, Im a firm believer there are few parks in the country that are as good as this one. To start, its HUGE! I don't think I've really ever seen the whole thing. There are rolling fields of grass, an "arboretum" which is like taking a walk in the mountains, a lake, playgrounds, a museum, gardens, a dog park, and idk what else. It's so beautiful wherever you go, and you can easily sink a day into exploring here.

The Biggest Little Dog Park is a nice concept with some real pros and cons. I do like that they…read morehave two separate areas, one for large dogs and one for small dogs, so it feels a bit safer and more organized. My dog loves going there and always has a great time playing and running around. That said, there are some issues worth noting. A couple years ago, a friend of mine had a truly tragic experience when her dog was attacked and killed by another dog at this park, which is heartbreaking and something people should be aware of. Also, the grass isn't real, it's turf, and while the sprinklers run every night, there's often still a heavy dog poop odor that lingers and makes the place a little unpleasant. Overall, my pup enjoys it, but be cautious, keep an eye on your dog at all times, and know that upkeep could definitely be better.

My wife found this beach area that did not cost to park or no fee to enter. It's towards the end of the day so no one is here, but it's very beautiful and peaceful . Clean and well maintained. Some extra large double picnic tables for large families. Definitely would bring the kids back here

Such a beautiful pup friendly beach in South Lake Tahoe…read more This was our first stop after a 3.5 hour drive to South Lake Tahoe and it was the perfect place for our pup to runaround and meet some friends and get her energy out. It has a decent size parking lot with an extra parking lot in the back and its a short two minute walk into the beach. There's essentially zero shade, so bring an umbrella if that's something you want or need.

My complaints are the lack of restroom facilities, or rather open restroom facilities. There are bathrooms, but are closed and not serviced and the city has instead resorted to port-a-potties. The water fountains for drinking were shut off too. The tables there could use replacing and the children's play equipment in general seemed worn, but my kid especially liked the tire swing. If I was a dog owner, this place would be a better choice for me over other parks in the area.

Fourth of July…read more.. We've been coming to the spark for the Fourth of July fireworks near 20 years now. They always have some fun and festivities in the park during the day. Usually live music, or broadcast radio station from inside the park. We back up to the main road, get out our chairs, and wait for sundown. Our routine usually includes making some fried chicken and potato salad and going to the lake or the river. Spend a few hours there and then head to Fernley. It is absolutely one of the best firework shows around. Not sure if it's just a holiday, but we always meet people in make friends while we wait for the show. I see they have other events here through the year, but definitely if you have not tried, come watch the fireworks on Fourth of July.

A park with a view and lake access!…read more LOCATION: West of the Galaxy Theater Legends IMAX on the south side of Sparks Marina Park Lake right on the beach. DECOR: Mid August and it's half grass, half dirt patch field enclosed in a chain-link fence with about 100 yards of room to run around. Trees sprinkled through. Perfectly unobstructed view of the lake and backdrop mountains. Sunset view. AMENITIES: Benches to sit, a walkway/sidewalk if your want to stay out of the grass and dirt. Trashcans and a drinking fountain for people and pets. Lake access. EXPERIENCE: I took my pup, Nala, here on her birthday and she had a blast. The park entrance contains a double gate to ensure dogs to get in or out accidentally. There were at least 4 other dogs at any given time at the park and they were all friendly. Owners were not oblivious to their pets wandering around. Owners were also not aggressive or upset when other dogs came up to them. Nala played in the water a bit with other dogs although she didn't swim. When she was tired, she'd find a patch of grass to enjoy under the shade of a tree. Then, she'd hop back out to herding the other dogs. Lol. She got some great socialization in and the walk from the parking lot wasn't too far. However, I've seen smaller dogs like Frenchies needing to be carried there if it's hotter days so keep that in mind if you're pup doesn't do too well on longer walks out the heat.
