Lovely, shady park in a busy part of town. Easy parking. Lovely shade trees. A few picnic tables BUT it seems folks who lie on the ground put their stuff on the tables which means very few tables to picnic at. Water sorce. Bathrooms. Covered pavilion. Kids play ground but it is out in full sun. Lots of grass to play on. Pinecone, leaves, and cotton puffs from the trees to collect. Nice.

Hi friends. So you notice we hang in dog parks like Sonoma and Fuji, yet we have no dogs. Haven't even written a review. Thus is so. We are Catmandu and full of feline fever. We like to watch the canines hang out and run after stuff. At least once a day I come here. They tell me Yelp wants me to check-in everywhere I go all day long. I'm so excited to get to the park, often times I forget. Oooops, sorry. As my photos can attest, this is a very large park (some 14 acres) giving the dogs more than enough space to get running pretty darn fast. I wonder if they'd like to hang with my Bengal kittens and Mr. Tabby? Umm, maybe not. Fuji park is so much more than a dog park. Fenced off behind the park is wooded area with trails and the creek. They have hibachis near a gazebo, picnic tables, park benches, bathrooms and water fountains.There is a big playground area in the back and plenty of room for people to stroll. They don't have paved pathways. I say this because not all folks are diligent when it comes to following up when their animal leaves a calling card. If you know what I mean. WATCH OUT FOR THE LANDMINES!!!!! lol. Some mornings I take a walk around the park, I might see an occasional dog or two, while I enjoy my coffee. Sometimes I sit in the small gazebo at one of the picnic tables and hope I don't get caught in sprinkler flow on my way back. I think those come on earlier than I get here. Next-door to Fuji Park is the CarsonCity fairgrounds. Home to the Nevada State fair. They have a huge indoor exhibit hall containing a large kitchen and bathrooms. The fairgrounds features a 60-stall barn, a small outdoor barn, a rodeo arena, grandstands, an announcers booth, and more bathrooms. I'm told that if their are no events scheduled, you can use the arena for horseback riding everyday from 8:00 to dusk. Today, I learned there is a 1 acre fishing pond within the park. I'll be scoping that out on my next visit and get back to you. Thanks, friends

This is the 92nd dog park we have been to. I travel a lot with the dog so we stop lots of places to run off leash. We went here today, 20 June 2018, a Wednesday, at about 2pm. This dog park has: Small dog section Large dog section Double gates Water, and buckets Bags Trash cans SHADE! Bench's Agility type play structures made out of concrete I started this business listing because the Fugi Park listing was making it sound like I could go into the dog park but I had to be on leash in the dog park confines. I understand that isn't what it's about but others might not. I refreshed the water more than once since my dog was hot and the water dish was big (aka a swimming pool). Great people and dogs!

Fuji Park

The Carson City Fairgrounds and Fuji Park are situated in a beautiful natural setting with large trees and Clear Creek running through it. Located next to the fairgrounds is Bodines Casino, and across the street is shopping at Costco. The Carson City Farigrounds and Fuji Park are located in southern Carson City on the south side of Old Clear Creek Road just west of South US Hwy 395, and just south of the US Hwy 50 West interchange. Carson City Fairgrounds - Amenities include a rodeo arena, grandstands, a 60-stall barn, a small open-air animal barn, animal wash racks, an announcers booth, and restrooms. There also is an indoor Exhibit Hall with complete kitchen facilities and restrooms. Beginning Tuesday, March 24, 2009, the arena will be open for drop-in horseback riding from 8:00 a.m. to dusk seven days a week, unless the arena is reserved for a special event or activity. Fuji Park - This 14-acre park's amenities include a playground area, benches, picnic tables, a covered picnic shelter with electrical outlets, and heated year-round restrooms. Dogs are allowed off leash during all park hours except they must be on leash from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Urban Fishing Pond - A one-acre urban fishing pond is planned to be located in the southeast area of the property, adjacent to Clear Creek. The pond will have in-flow and out-flow from Clear Creek and will be stocked with trout for urban fishing. Construction is planned to begin in the late Spring of 2009 and the pond is expected to be open for visitors and fishing by the late Fall of 2009. (Carson City Parks & Recreation)

It's a nice park, but it's in an HOA community. I've seen people get kicked out of it before…read morebecause they didn't live there. I don't know what the laws are about that. Otherwise it's a very nice park with good play equipment for kids of all ages. (not a wheelchair access accessible playground)

Google maps shows this park as "Spooner/Oxbow Park", but don't let that fool you it's true name and…read moreit's history, is much more mysterious. According to the historical marker placed at this site, "In 1902 Marion Jefferson Blackwell purchased 360 acres from the State of Nevada, 556 acres of adjoining land from Sweeney's Hot Springs and a lot with a house. He raised carp and catfish to sell commercially also hay and horses. Neighbors used the ponds for swimming and ice skating. Born 1847, in Hall County, Georgia he married Nancy Amna Mayes in 1866. While living in Jamestown, California his wife died. He then moved the family to the Carson Valley near Genoa in 1895. He married Martha "Mattie" H. Willey in Yerington in 1899, then moved to Eagle Valley in 1902. He resided here till his death in 1914. His descendants continue to live in the area." Besides its rich history, the park is a small neighborhood park with a covered picnic area, a small playground, and a--I want to say walking path but it's not because it literally goes no where into the grass (srsly why is this here?), so we'll just say--some concrete. Although it's now just mostly a manicured lawn, there are still remnants of the pond in the form of two sloughs that flank the park. Cattails and blackbirds abound! Be careful where you step here, because it's difficult to discern where the ground and water meet. Also, apparently someone was murdered here in 2016 over a drug deal done awry. So, maybe avoid the place at night.
