A fool and his money are soon parted, I know, but we had a rare kid-free day and treated ourselves. Poolside service is snooty and slow. Drinks taste like mocktails & food is mediocre. If you wanna hang at the pool, better come with a credit check and Vegas money, baby. I'm surprised they don't charge you for sunlight. I know the days of $200 cabanas that come with admissions are long gone, but this seems unsustainable for Reno.

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.

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.

I forget at times that this water play park is even here, and I was glad to be reminded of its existence. My toddler and I had a blast playing for hours. I never had summer babies, but I always told myself that if I did, birthdays would be celebrated at the pool or waterparks. It's super affordable fun for the kids here, and they sell cold drinks and Popsicles. The restrooms are well maintained. We were able to have fun with family, and the kids all enjoyed themselves. Who am I kidding, I had just as much or maybe more fun playing with my little. My kids and I will be back before this summer ends. Thanks for a memorable time with my kids.

You find families, pets, and neighborhood kids playing on the playgrounds or forming eenie-meenie-minee-moe football or frisbee games.
