The bathrooms were locked when I was there, but there were portable toilets available. The park is mostly clean. There was some graffiti and some trash on the ground. The playground is basic. There are several different parks in Sparks which feature the same playground. There is not a toddler playground. There are swings but no toddler swings. Wood chips are located underneath the playground. There is a covered eating area with a few picnic tables underneath. There is a baseball field. There is a large grassy area. In the fall there is often football practices here on this field. There is a tennis court at this park. There is a skate park at this park. The skate park appears to be a separate park, so I won't be reviewing it. But I will add a photo of the skate park. Pyramid is a very busy street. Cars tend to drive fast in this area. The playground is far from the busy road but the grassy area is not. There are plenty of good food and coffee options which you can easily walk to from Burgess Park. Have fun out there. - Dadzone

It wasn't always like this, but dont let that bring you down. Its a large park good for children. Who are young and older. They also have a lot of soccer games for the youth. The picnic area is also nice. Ismts spacious and I thi k there were two pavilions. The best part are the trees. Most parks in reno dont have such luscious trees. So its nice in a hot day. The parj is well maintained, but beware of the goose droppings. Its everywhere. Its a must visit on a nice summer day or a cool fall. Winter might be fun, but I stay indoors.

The park has alot of open space for kids to run around and has a pretty nice playground. There is also a Skate Park and parking lot on the opposite side of the park. The eastern side of the path goes along a creek and there were quite a few birds, ducks and squirrels in and around the creek. I did see graffiti on one of the park signs, so that made me wonder how safe it is. In general it's a nice park, but I would have to come back during busier times such as evening or weekends to see how it is. For now though I'm only feeling 3 stars.

There are toddler swings but there are no regular swings. There is a fence around the playground. Wood chips are located underneath the playground.

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.

A large stretch of grass and even a walking trail makes for some good stroller cruisin'! I'd say a highlight to this park is the awesome view and location. We paid $250 for the rental through the city of Reno. Just so you know, the power outlets DO NOT WORK. We used our vehicles for power outlets ;)

They just don't want people driving through the subdivision to get here. So if we want to drive, it's out to the main road and three left turns. Stands to reason we always walk.
