    Nice park nestled within the bigger Wingfield park. It's next to the river creek so you get a nice view of the water. Basketball courts with a beautiful mural wall next to it. Bleacher seating so people can sit and chill and watch basketball. Tennis courts too. Further down there's a tubing kayak boat tour shack. Green grass looks well landscaped and watered. Overall a nice clean park with activities. Looked like high school middle school kids were playing basketball. I liked seeing that knowing these kids are staying active after school on a weekday.

    There is a whole lot more to this park than meets the eye. Driving by on Arlington, you may miss it altogether as it is tucked away between the Truckee River and the bluffs that rise up to the south. From Arlington, the green grass and basketball courts are what stand out. The lawn area has a few picnic tables and the basketball court has lots of bleachers for hanging out and watching a pick-up game. One of the many Reno murals grace the back wall of the court making what would be a depressing graffiti laden concrete block wall a work of art. As you head back along Island drive there are tennis courts - lots of tennis courts. There is a boat access ramp to the white water park on the Truckee and parking spots. Free parking spots. There are more picnic areas and a large playground area. The nicest thing about the park are the many mature trees that provide much needed shade on a hot summer day. For the most part, the grounds are well maintained, There are restrooms near the parking area. Great location, great park. It all makes Downtown a better place to live.

    Shady characters hanging around the basketball court, public bathrooms were horrendous, people clearly are doing drugs in there. Even though there are free public bathrooms here, I honestly don't think they're kid friendly at all. There's a playground here, just the vibe is so trashy and suspect I can't recommend you taking kids here. 2 star rating just because the basketball courts here are great, rim and net are actually ON the hoop. Everything else about this park is just so suspect, I'd recommend you keep it moving. If you're coming to use the bathrooms, I'd recommend you wait about 2-3 minutes prior to entering and just listening in and feeling it out.

    Review #033 - 2018 This park is really pretty during the winter time. They have good lighting at night so you can feel safe while walking around and getting some pictures taken too. The kids like to come here and play basketball when we visit during the non-snowing months. I've never actually walked around here until our most recent visit so I can't really speak much for the park as a whole. Although, from what I've seen, it looks like a nice place that everyone in the family can enjoy. The bridge over the water is nice and romantic for couples who want to take a walk on a date. I guess it wouldn't hurt to pack a picnic basket to complete the date. There's also a few different art displays around the park so I'm sure you can find something you like.

    Perfect place for either great environs for tennis, or stellar gorgeous stroll along Riverwalk/Riverside to Wingfield and Idyllwild parks. Love the expansive manicured stretch of mansions along the river,& the glorious trees. Stop by the Hub for some coffee to get a little bit of the good life.

    Cigarette butts all over the graffiti filled playground area.

    Beautiful day out for a lunch picnic while my wife finished up at work…read more Park was clean and well tended. Lots of shade, lots of tables and benches to sit at. I love this park

    Nice historic park in Reno. I don't think it's really a tourist spot, more like a local hangout. We…read morestopped by bc the wife wanted to picnic at a park for a Sunday lunch, and this place fit the bill. Good thing it was only a mildly warm weekend, as Idlewild is in the middle of the city, so not exactly "in the woods." However, there are lots of trees here so they provided some shade for our time here. Parking was easy, plenty of spaces along the main road of the park, and some dedicated spots in several areas too. We discovered that one of the main attractions here is a pond, so we picnicked while we sat on the side of the pond and watched ducks do their waddle thing and just like the ones at William Land Park, these ducks were also are very comfortable with humans and they came by and tried to ask for food and watched us eat. The pond is about the same size as the Land Park one, for those who know Sactown, but it's a bit bigger, I think. It's also a man-made pond, but with fish in it and wildlife around. Besides the pond, there's a rose garden just across the main road leading into the park, and a sensory garden, as well as a play structure for kids and a little train runs through the park that you can buy tickets and ride on (best for little ones). The park is pretty well-maintained and look to be in good condition overall. Landscaping is kept up with lots of trees, flora, plants, and fields throughout. All in all, a nice park in Reno, a little oasis in the middle of the biggest little city in Nevada.

We used to bring my kiddos to this park a when they were little. There's a good amount of shade, ample parking, There are restroom facilities with bright night lighting. A large stretch of grass and even a walking trail makes for some good stroller cruisin'! I'd say a highlight to this park is the awesome view and location. We paid $250 for the rental through the city of Reno. Just so you know, the power outlets DO NOT WORK. We used our vehicles for power outlets ;)
