Th city of Sparks does a nice job in their public spaces…read more I recently walked across this park while hiking the Tahoe Pyramid Trail - Sparks Section. This decent sized city park sits between the Truckee River and 777 Spice Island. It is well shaded with flat areas and small hills. Lots of nice picnic tables, some with coverings. A few benches. A couple of horseshoe pits. It a quiet beautiful spot with the sound of the river splashing by. Maybe a good idea to try fishing here. Pets are welcome, but should be on leash. It is also posted the leash not be more than 6 feet long. There are a couple of spots to pick up poop bags, in case you forgot one. But you should never leave home without several. And plenty of cans are available for bags and picnic trash. Since the trail does run along the edge, be aware of bicyclists and joggers.

They have a great private pavilion available for rent to be used for birthday parties, family gatherings and more. My kids love the basketball game. I'm not sure who came up with it, but it's a lot of fun for adults too. The crazy hoops are iconic here and it's so fun watching the kiddos give it a go. I also love that there's a playground for bigger kids, younger kids, and one for all. They also have a fantastic bike loop with exercise machines. The big field in the middle of the loop is used for sports practices and it's well kept as well! Did I mention tennis and pickleball? Well they have both here and there are always players on weekends but weekdays it's all good! Have you been?

We spent countless summer days having picnics and tea parties here when she was younger. She flew her first kite here as well. Flash forward, my youngest makes us play ice cream shop here in the playground. My family and I frequently visit on the weekends with the kids to allow them to expell their energy. This park is huge and well maintained by the city of Sparks. Kudos to you guys for doing so! The playground is the only one that has shade in summer. One reason why I'll always return. The last visit was for a family baby shower this past weekend. It was a perfect evening. I'm looking forward to cooler nights and strolling through leaves soon.

I have previously been to the amphitheater for a Summer concert and loved how intimate of a venue it is. They also hold various events at the interpretive center throughout the year.

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.
