The Biggest Little Dog Park is a nice concept with some real pros and cons. I do like that they…read morehave two separate areas, one for large dogs and one for small dogs, so it feels a bit safer and more organized. My dog loves going there and always has a great time playing and running around. That said, there are some issues worth noting. A couple years ago, a friend of mine had a truly tragic experience when her dog was attacked and killed by another dog at this park, which is heartbreaking and something people should be aware of. Also, the grass isn't real, it's turf, and while the sprinklers run every night, there's often still a heavy dog poop odor that lingers and makes the place a little unpleasant. Overall, my pup enjoys it, but be cautious, keep an eye on your dog at all times, and know that upkeep could definitely be better.

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.

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!!
