We really enjoyed this park and like how many different slides there were. The park was very clean,…read morewell-maintained, and gated, which we liked. It also felt nicely separated from the dog park, which made it more comfortable for families with young kids. The only downside was safety-related: there weren't many safety rails in certain areas, and there were several large gaps where a small child could easily slip or fall. There were also some unexpected gaps at floor level near entrances that felt a bit concerning for little ones. Make sure to keep an eye your kids here and be an arm length away since they can fall and hurt themselves pretty easily. Overall, it's a great park with a lot to offer, but adding more safety rails and closing some of those gaps would make it feel much more kid-friendly and secure. Huge sandy parking lot right across from Costco.

This little park backs up to the Eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada in the Carson River Basin of Northern Nevada. Celebrated the 4th of July here, listening to some great bluegrass. Watched the kids dancing and having a grand ole time. You feel like you've stepped back in a carefree time for a moment. The Genoa fire department had chicken dinners. Great food, great music and an all around great time. I can still see the children running through the sprinklers. Sons and dads having a catch. Reminds us of our yesteryears with a backdrop of our beautiful Nevada summer weather, mountains, fresh air and butterflies.

It's a great place for families and the views of the snow capped mountains are incredible from here. It seems to be a popular place on a Sunday afternoon. We saw several people enjoying fishing and/or walking along the trail around the pond. The trail around the pond is dirt but flat enough to push a stroller along. There are park benches and a covered pavilion as well. There's not a lot of shade unless you are under the pavilion and if you venture along the paved Martin Slough Trail make sure to wear a hat and sunscreen because it's pretty exposed to the sun as well.

I spent some time in the picnic area and walking along the shoreline. The park was well maintained with lots of shady spots, cool grass and sandy beaches. The bathrooms were convenient and clean and there was a generous parking area. There are BBQ grills and lots of picnic tables throughout the area. There is also a large group pavilion. There are a number of trails around, but may be better suited for cooler weather as there is not a lot of shade away from the day-use area. There is a ranger station a few miles north that is worth a stop. Staff are friendly and helpful and there is a small exhibit of old mining and farming equipment and a very nice native plant garden. Definitely worth the stop.

We were there to enjoy one of the speakers in their summer series, Christina Thomas, "Songbird: The Story of the Paiute People" and she was great as she shared the history of the Paiute people in the Great Basin. The Dangberg Ranch is located on HWY 88 just south of its intersection with HWY 395, and you'll head west onto a dirt road for about a mile to get to the ranch, and the road is a bit rough, and on the day we went, muddy from recent rain. Was it worth it? Absolutely, here's the web-site, and I'd encourage you to add this to your tour of the Carson Valley: http://www.dangberghomeranch.org/ As a side note, the view of the Sierra Nevada from this location are incredible.
