Everybody is so friendly. This place is beautiful, clean, brand new facilities. Well maintained as…read morewell as great staff. I'm here, probably five days a week. It was a bit strange today having only one person swimming in the giant pool. It was overcast and rainy, Saturday evening... I guess I was the only one that needed to do laps but, when you're face down in the water, you don't really see anyone else or talk to anyone else. This is my favorite swimming/exercise spot . Can't say enough about it. Don't forget, the membership here also allows you to go to the other Reno area pools. Including Idlewild, north Northwest and Mount Evelyn or Evelyn Mount whatever it is. Lol

Time to check in on the pool 18 months in. I am happy to report that the facility is being…read moremaintained really well and it still has that new pool smell. Ok, maybe it is a clean pool smell. The building, locker rooms, seating areas, parking lot and outdoor areas look good. If you haven't been and you are thinking it is just another community pool like Alf Sorrenson or Idelwild, it is not. This is a jewel in the Parks & Rec. Department's offerings. This facility gets bonus points for being fully self sustainable with the hot springs and solar. The rates are reasonable with discounts on Wednesday evening and Sunday. RecConnect passes start at $12 per month.

Went here on Memorial Day and it was the busiest I've ever seen it! The lines were long but once we…read moregot in it was easy to find a spot and get settled. We all had a blast and it was nice that the water is warm now! The slide lines were long so we just did the wave pools and small kid area. The food lines were also long so we ate after we left.

A nice waterpark overall especially in Reno where there is not too many attractions for the kids…read more Facility and rides seemed decently maintained. The cement gets really hot so have more mats throughout the park would be helpful. You can wear sandals but have to drop them off at some point so you'll be feeling the cement. A few people in our party actually had their feet skin burned. Overall value is ok. For what the water park offers, it should be slightly cheaper than the $45. Cabana service was nice but also pretty expensive. Food options are standard than other theme parks.

My kids love junior tennis at Reno Tennis Center! I started taking my daughter (5 yo) to a camp…read moreduring the summer, and after it was over she asked about playing more tennis so much that we enrolled her, and her little brother (3.5 yo) as well. Currently they are learning to play in class with Coach Randy. He is wonderful with younger kids like mine. He makes the class so fun, but still teaches important foundational skills. My kids look forward to attending every week, and I love getting them outside to get their energy out. I am so happy there is such a wonderful tennis program for kids at this age!

Great place for tennis and pickleball. We had a great time playing pick up games here. The courts…read moreare in good condition and people were nice. Randy was very helpful.

I've recently moved to the area and stumbled on this park while walking my dogs. Since we were out…read moremid-day we stopped for a quick break hoping to find a dog-friendly water source but no such luck. It seemed that the water source was a single drinking fountain at the restroom at the furthest point of the park. Given that there are tennis and basketball courts in addition to a playground, I'd have thought more than one would be available, especially one to fill bottles and one for dogs. The available fountain was dirty and had low water pressure and the bathroom was closed. I also didn't see a single trash can which may be a problem for some who aren't/weren't expecting to haul trash out with them. There is a large area behind the restroom that is currently wasted space- an additional pavilion (with grills) and grass would be great. Overall, clean park that's great for a quick outing with young kids or those looking to play tennis or basketball, but I likely won't be back as it's lacking the amenities I'd need while out.

Ellen's Park is a clean, well maintained park in South Reno. There is a brand new playground which…read morewas very nice. There is a larger and a smaller playground. Both playgrounds have soft padding underneath. There is a covered eating area next to the playground. There is a sand area with toy cranes to play on. There are no swings at this park. There is a large, covered eating area with several picnic tables and BBQ grills. There is a well maintained tennis court with a fence around it. There is a bathroom. The bathroom was fairly clean when I was there. There is a basketball court at this park. There is a paved walkway through the park. There is a parking area to park in. Have fun out there. -Dadzone

I went there for 2 different classes and I was very underwhelmed with the experience. I just got an…read moreemail that they are closing and I'm not surprised. The first time I went there I didn't bring any cash and I expected them to have at least a water fountain available. After asking them where I could find water they told me I could buy water from them (there was no fountain). I filled up my water bottle in the bathroom sink. It really turns me off when gyms try to nickel and dime their customers.

It has been years since I've done any climbing (over 10) and I had a friend that really wanted to…read moretry it out. So I looked up their beginner's class and booked us an hour long session online. I was also able to fill out the waiver online and confirmes it via email, as well. When you arrive you sign in at the desk and they provide you with climbing shoes if you need them. Our instructor did a great job of showing us around the facility before jumping right into the lesson. We started by warming up and then practicing some light falls before jumping into different techniques for bouldering in the starting room (also known as the children's room). Next, we went out to the main room and chose some beginners routes to climb. Finally, we finished by getting our harnesses on (also provided if needed) and clipping into the autobelay devices on the full climbing wall outside. After our lesson concluded and she gave us pointers to work on, our instructor let us know we had a day pass and could stay as long as we wanted since we paid for the class. She also let us know that they have monthly events like ladies night and DJ night that can be booked online or via phone call. They're limiting numbers right now and you can't climb with regular belays unless you've passed their tests and bring your own rope (since they can't be sanitized) but if you're looking for a great free climbing gym or climbing via autobelay routes, this is the place! I may invest in a membership one of these days, especially since they offer a student discount!

I love this gym! It's more of a bouldering gym but it has a wicked price of only $30/month (yearly…read moremembership). There's free yoga and core classes for members and you get a free pass for a friend once a month. It seems everyone agrees that it's a "soft" gym - the V-ratings are easier to complete than the same rating at a different gym but man it makes you feel good! I think we just have really good setters who understand the flow of the climb. Community night is on Tuesday and you meet tons of like-minded climbers there!

Attended my nieces' birthday party at Melio Gaspari's water park in Lazy 5's park last weekend. It…read morewas a perfect day for the water activities. I forget at times that this water play park is even here, and I was glad to be reminded of its existence. My toddler and I had a blast playing for hours. I never had summer babies, but I always told myself that if I did, birthdays would be celebrated at the pool or waterparks. It's super affordable fun for the kids here, and they sell cold drinks and Popsicles. The restrooms are well maintained. We were able to have fun with family, and the kids all enjoyed themselves. Who am I kidding, I had just as much or maybe more fun playing with my little. My kids and I will be back before this summer ends. Thanks for a memorable time with my kids.
