    Lovely grounds surrounding the NV State Capitol, and complement the Capitol with their own stately grace. We've been in the spring and fall, and the trees create a distinct mood for each season. A quiet oasis, these grounds offer a serene escape from your day. Visitors should also stop by the Capitol, open till 5pm.

    Located on the Nevada State Capitol Mall are all three branches of the State Government. It is a serene, artistic, appealing and attractive piece of ground that looks like a park and is called the Nevada State Capitol Mall. It's grounds house the Nevada Legislature, the Nevada Supreme Court, and The Nevada Capitol building. The park is absolutely gorgeous with historic statutes interspersed between grass, shrubs, benches and cement sidewalk. Occasionally there are concerts held on these grounds in the summer time. Just a beautiful place to go read a book, bring a sack lunch or both. The history here is amazing. Just across the street us the Nevada state Museum that was originally a US Mint building.

    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.
