Everybody is so friendly. This place is beautiful, clean, brand new facilities. Well maintained as…read morewell as great staff. I'm here, probably five days a week. It was a bit strange today having only one person swimming in the giant pool. It was overcast and rainy, Saturday evening... I guess I was the only one that needed to do laps but, when you're face down in the water, you don't really see anyone else or talk to anyone else. This is my favorite swimming/exercise spot . Can't say enough about it. Don't forget, the membership here also allows you to go to the other Reno area pools. Including Idlewild, north Northwest and Mount Evelyn or Evelyn Mount whatever it is. Lol

Time to check in on the pool 18 months in. I am happy to report that the facility is being…read moremaintained really well and it still has that new pool smell. Ok, maybe it is a clean pool smell. The building, locker rooms, seating areas, parking lot and outdoor areas look good. If you haven't been and you are thinking it is just another community pool like Alf Sorrenson or Idelwild, it is not. This is a jewel in the Parks & Rec. Department's offerings. This facility gets bonus points for being fully self sustainable with the hot springs and solar. The rates are reasonable with discounts on Wednesday evening and Sunday. RecConnect passes start at $12 per month.

Wild Island Family Adventure Park in Sparks is a wonderful spot for a family day out, even though I…read morehave not visited in over 15 years. The park offers plenty of fun for both small children and older kids with its wide mix of water slides and attractions. You will also find that the classic park food, like the burgers, fries, and corn dogs, tastes surprisingly good. It remains a solid choice for making family memories close to home.

A nice waterpark overall especially in Reno where there is not too many attractions for the kids…read more Facility and rides seemed decently maintained. The cement gets really hot so have more mats throughout the park would be helpful. You can wear sandals but have to drop them off at some point so you'll be feeling the cement. A few people in our party actually had their feet skin burned. Overall value is ok. For what the water park offers, it should be slightly cheaper than the $45. Cabana service was nice but also pretty expensive. Food options are standard than other theme parks.

My kids love junior tennis at Reno Tennis Center! I started taking my daughter (5 yo) to a camp…read moreduring the summer, and after it was over she asked about playing more tennis so much that we enrolled her, and her little brother (3.5 yo) as well. Currently they are learning to play in class with Coach Randy. He is wonderful with younger kids like mine. He makes the class so fun, but still teaches important foundational skills. My kids look forward to attending every week, and I love getting them outside to get their energy out. I am so happy there is such a wonderful tennis program for kids at this age!

The first time I went there I didn't bring any cash and I expected them to have at least a water fountain available. After asking them where I could find water they told me I could buy water from them (there was no fountain). I filled up my water bottle in the bathroom sink. It really turns me off when gyms try to nickel and dime their customers.

I've recently moved to the area and stumbled on this park while walking my dogs. Since we were out…read moremid-day we stopped for a quick break hoping to find a dog-friendly water source but no such luck. It seemed that the water source was a single drinking fountain at the restroom at the furthest point of the park. Given that there are tennis and basketball courts in addition to a playground, I'd have thought more than one would be available, especially one to fill bottles and one for dogs. The available fountain was dirty and had low water pressure and the bathroom was closed. I also didn't see a single trash can which may be a problem for some who aren't/weren't expecting to haul trash out with them. There is a large area behind the restroom that is currently wasted space- an additional pavilion (with grills) and grass would be great. Overall, clean park that's great for a quick outing with young kids or those looking to play tennis or basketball, but I likely won't be back as it's lacking the amenities I'd need while out.

Ellen's Park is a clean, well maintained park in South Reno. There is a brand new playground which…read morewas very nice. There is a larger and a smaller playground.

A big highlight for this gym is what they do for their members and the events they have. There is an online sign-up sheet on the website and a calendar that lets you know the free climb nights. There is a limit for free sign-ups (day pass) after the limit, it's a discounted price. Stop by on a free climb night check and see if rockclibing is a sport you want to pursue!

She has also done a day camp prior and that was a great experience from a parent perspective. She overall had fun but was nervous since it was a new sport. I have used the exercise equipment as well, which is good but it can be busy because the focus are the climbing walls with the supplement. They offer group classes as well. I have not done them yet, but my plan is to do some of the Yoga. I like that they are community inclusive. There are different nights at the gym and there have been events where there are local vendors showcasing their products.
