Our favorite part of summer is every Wednesday there are local bands playing for free and the turnout from the community is amazing. We always run into someone we know.

A fool and his money are soon parted, I know, but we had a rare kid-free day and treated ourselves. Poolside service is snooty and slow. Drinks taste like mocktails & food is mediocre. If you wanna hang at the pool, better come with a credit check and Vegas money, baby. I'm surprised they don't charge you for sunlight. I know the days of $200 cabanas that come with admissions are long gone, but this seems unsustainable for Reno.

Great park to walk, walk your dog, enjoy the playground, dog park, 1.0 mileish loop. Can walk in…read moreeither dirt next to lake or asphalt path, both are nice. With the trees one is usually in the shade. A lot of people all hours of the day but it doesn't feel overly crowded. Don't let your dog in the lake or drink the water however, prone to poisonous algae. I'd say the only negative, and no fault of the park, is how many people choose not to clean up after their dogs. Enjoy the lake and go to mid-town after for something refreshing. Cheers!!

A pleasant 1 mile loop around the lake. The are common courtesy rules, if you follow the rules :)…read more Public parking around the lake as well as a parking area. Wide enough for 3 across but the rules suggest 2 abreast as there are walkers and runners going both ways. A paved path and also a gravel path. This is a popular lake path behind the Peppermill along Lakeside. We enjoy walking here.

You can bike, rollerblade, fish, play Volleyball, meditation, dog park, picnic, swim, paddle boarding, kayak and more. You have the Legends Outlet mall with a variety of stores, along with two Casino, almost 6 hotels in the vicinity, movie theater and numerous restaurants. There is something for everyone. If you're driving by the Sparks Marina and you see it from the freeway take the next exit, you will definitely enjoy your day!

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.

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.

We needed to use the restroom, a guy was sitting directly outside the door minding his own business. I noticed he was smoking out of a crack pipe, he nodded as we walked by, and I gave him a glare and glanced towards my daughter. He nodded back that he understood, and didn't hit it again u til we were walking away. All of them minded their own business, and didn't bother us at all. We acknowledged them, said good morning and kept moving! It was nice to enjoy the area, art, and local wildlife! Great area that felt safe at all times. The surrounding areas were all very clean, the restrooms were also clean and maintained.

Just an update from my first review 10 years ago…read more The walking path between the east end of Riverside Drive and the Booth Street bridge is now open!!!! The pathway is now double the width and does some gentle meandering around the trees. It will be a lot more accessible for people with mobility issues. The new landscaping is beautiful. The banks of the river have been raised and reinforced to decrease flooding damage. And just a reminder- dogs and other pets are still welcome and must be leashed or otherwise contained. Bicycles, scooters, and skateboards are not allowed. This is one of the top places to visit in downtown.
