This is an interesting park. This is not wide open grassy area with a pond to feed geese, jungle gyms, and swings. 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. read more

This is a nice park located along the Truckee River in Reno. There are several areas to access the river. This park is basically just a place to access the river. There aren't very many other things which would resemble a park. There are a few picnic tables under some mature trees. There is a paved path which connects to Mayberry Park. There is not a playground at this park. There aren't any basketball courts or tennis courts. There are no bathrooms at this park. The park was clean and there is a parking lot to park in. Have fun out there. -Dadzone read more

Great place to cool off on a hot day. Instead of one big beach packed with loads of people, Dorostkar 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!! read more

Small park on the Truckee River. Dorostkar is one of many small parks that are connected by the Tahoe Pyramid Trail. There is a single paved trail - the TPT. Then several short narrow branch trails that are dirt or rock. Trails have almost no shade. Great for early morning summer hikes or all day spring and fall hikes. Fishermen use the small paved parking lot because it's a short hike to the river. If the lot is full drive down Fourth Street to Mayberry Park, way more parking areas. This park is accessed from Mayberry at the curve. read more

Dorostkar Park - New trail signs everywhere - Parks Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Popular park since the dirt trails opened up. Lots of dogs walking their owners out here. There are also placards up here with fauna and geographical information. So if you park in the dedicated lot, there are multiple trails to the right with a bunch of bridges. There is also a paved large walkway going up and down following the river. Fun to explore around here. You get connected to other trails, parks and subdivisions from here. No water fountains or restrooms in this immediate area. read more

This is a nice little, local park to bring your dog, with parking available and both "nature" and paved paths which meander along the Truckee River. There is signage along the gravel paths with information about the local trees, plants, etc. and places where dogs can cool off in the river. We came here recently on a warm, overcast summer day and the river and mountain views were beautiful. read more

This park is perfect. 1. Easy parking. 2. Easy access from a main road. 3. Places close to the parking area to sit and picnic if you need a table. 4. Benches a short walk from the parking lot that allow for a view of the river. 5. Short walks or long all with a centralized starting point near the parking lot. 6. Paved trails. 7. Small off shoots that are unpaved but still easy to get right back onto the main trail. This park is worth checking out - especially on a beautiful sunny day when you need some Vitamin D therapy. I will keep this on my list of excellent parks when I am able to enjoy a fun sun day! read more

Dorostkar Park - River view - Parks Near Me - Reno, Nevada

This is a great little park for walking. I brought the kids here and wasn't sure what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised. There are walking trails, with a couple different directions that you can go. There is even a stroller-friendly trail. It's right along the river, which is nice also. We will be back! read more

Small park with a short 1.5 mile paved trail that has fantastic views of the Truckee River and the hills and mountains. There's even a bridge that crosses over the river. It's also a short walk to Mayberry Park if you wanted to hit both! read more

I had passed this park many times while driving home on Mayberry and finally decided to try it out one morning. I'm so glad I did. The park consists of a (mostly) paved trail that winds along the Truckee. Though in some areas the pavement is broken thanks to roots, I have no problem maneuvering my stroller along the path. There are lots of little one off side paths to explore with plaques that inform you on the flora and fauna of the area, which don't suffer the defacement that you can see at some other parks like Oxbow. From the parking lot, you can take a left, head under the bridge, and go over to Mayberry Park, or take a right and walk the length of the trail, which is about half a mile one way. There are several picnic tables along the path and benches as well, but be advised there is no bathroom nor any running water! Dogs are allowed on leash, and I've only seen one owner who ignored that rule. I've been both during the week and on the weekend and have never seen it busy enough that there was no parking even though the lot is small. It seems like many people like to fish here as well, so I'm looking forward to trying that this summer. Tl:dr- All in all, great, quiet, and safe park! read more

2.95 miles http://www.nvtrailmaps.com/pdfs/maps/dorosktar_park.pdf Great park to walk your dog. Lots of things to smell. The day Luna and I went we watched a deer cross the river over the Large Bridge. ( I shoulda got the name of the bridge ) Along the dirt path you can see where the Beavers have come up and crewed down some trees... Lots of butterflies also along the path. All and all get there early the small parking lot was full when I was leaving.... read more

Easy flat paved trail that crosses the Truckee river. Round trip from the parking lot is about 1.5 miles. You also can go to the left from the parking lot and access Mayberry Park. Great walking trail for dogs, kids riding their bikes, and access to the Truckee for rafting and fishing. Can get icy in the winter. read more

Dorostkar Park - Parks Near Me - Reno, Nevada

My first time here and it was a short visit. Parking was easy and there was plenty. I didn't expect the weather to be this hot but I came prepared for my furry buddy. At first I wasn't sure where to go since there was a road with not much to see. Then I saw a trail with plants and I could hear the river, so I went that way. There were ocassional signs about the plants and what I'm looking at so I guess it was a real trail. I didn't like this part of the trail because there were a lot of bushes/ wild plants (weeds) brushing on me while I was going through. And I was wearing shorts. I'd freak out if an animal was hiding in there. My dog had to either be in front of me or behind me. I was hoping to do some dog training on this journey. It was a fun sniffing journey for the dog. There were a few bridges I could cross which lead to another area with trails. It was away from the river but it was wider. I didn't get too far because the dog looked uncomfortable so I turned back. I was looking for a place to hang out by the river for the dog to splash in, but I didn't find a calm spot. The currents looked strong. 3.5 stars for now. It had some nice views. Maybe I didn't see the best parts. Will update if I try again. read more
