This is a park with walking and biking trails wih ample access to the truckee river. Typically quiet and has enough room to not have to crowd any particular arrea. This is also a quality place to see spring blooms and fall color changes in the area. There is a small parking lot that is pretty safe since there is really no other reason to be in this area unless you are using the park. As far as naming of this park, I believe it was named after Dr. Massoud Dorostkar, an anesthesiologist in Reno who donated the tract of land for use as a park. What I dont know is how to properly prononuce the Persian surname Dorostkar. is it DO-roast-car or duh-RAWST-kahr? Either way this is a great scenic hike and picture worthy site that is a short bike ride from downtown.

Great place to cool off on a hot day. Instead of one big beach packed with loads of people,…read moreDorostkar has a dozen or so small private beaches. The best part is that all the beaches are on the south side of the river with thick vegetation behind you so no need for beach umbrellas. On a 100 degree day it's 75 on the beaches at Dorostkar, bring a couple tubes and you can float to the dam at Ambrose park and then walk back and do it again!!

Rose Highway, which was approximately a 5 mile round trip. The trail has a very gradual elevation gain and is mostly shaded by trees, so currently there are some icy parts on the trail. We used crampons and had no issues. I'm always looking for a new spot to hike and recommend it if you haven't already done it.

You'll be happy to know there is also a bathroom on site. There are various hiking trails you can explore, but most of it is not shaded. The Perimeter Loop Trail was fun with scenic views of downtown and the currently snow-capped mountain range to the West. I also did the Hidden Valley Backcountry Loop. It has a 1,033 Elevation gain and approximately 3.7 miles to complete the loop. It's a bit slippery going up, but I took my time and had no issues. As you can imagine, the views and the landscape only got more beautiful.

So happy we didn't get any rain and was able to go for a hike! We hiked for a good hour. Loved the nature and view of the city from the top. There was a lot of gravel towards the top and a few of us did slip going down hill, even with hiking shoes. Even a trail runner said he fell and slipped a few times. There's a few trails so do some research to see which trail meets your needs. Lots of parking and the bathroom is next to the tennis and pickle ball courts. Lucky I had my pickle ball set in the trunk and even got in a few games. Location was only about 15 minutes from downtown Reno, very close! I'd come back next time to hike another trail!

The ducks and geese are the only thing that should be in the mirky waters. Not sure how an RC boat would hold up but It certainly not a swimming lake. The rest of the park has been kept very decent with some areas that could use some attention. There is a paved walking path around the lake, a few picnic tables, a playground area, and grass areas perfect for recreation or ??? lots of mature trees provide shade. street parking is available all around the park without crowding the surrounding homes.
