IDLEWILD PARK REVIEWS

Great park for kids! They have toddler area, big kids area and one more I can't remember. There's a sign that has indicators for each section. It was fabulous with the variety playsets and Pavillion for shading watching adults. There was quite alot of squirrels as well at least 15+, children had a great time looking at them and semi chasing them. There's bathrooms in the corner and a drinking fountain, only point is the bathroom seats are metal and cold so brace yourself when sitting. Want to come again.

I randomly decided to stop by this spot today, and wow, I was seriously impressed! There's a bigger playground for the older kids and a smaller one that's perfect for the little ones. The place has a couple of peaceful little lakes and a trail that stretches on for miles. I noticed a cute little train, probably for the kids when it's running, plus a stunning rose garden and a trail that runs right alongside the Truckee River. The mix of trees and greenery all around really adds to the vibe, it's just beautiful. No doubt I’ll be coming back here a lot more often!

This is a great little Park to stroll around with my dog. There are quite a few little ponds and a beautiful rose garden. I have to say this park is immaculately maintained.

DAMONTE RANCH PARK REVIEWS

The park is great for kids and adults basketball court and playground for the kids and a huge grass area. It has bike and walking walkway around the wetlands. it's a 3 miles around with plenty of Benches to rest or just view the wild life. You and the kids will love this park.

beautiful, nice playground & trail. great for kids or just to walk the big scenic loop.

I love how soft the play ground is and safe for all the kids if they fall on the ground. I live in Fernley and all the parks I've been to don't have a nice parks.

WHITAKER PARK REVIEWS

Love this park. One of my favorites. I come here anytime the weather is nice. It’s got lots to offer whether you’re going out for a walk, taking your dog to the park or in search a place to have a picnic. It’s been around for a while so the trees are plentiful and mature. And the neighborhood is nice too. So all around it’s a great stop.

This is a great park. It has a playground, bathrooms and a pavilion with a great view. Plenty of space for my son to run and play. I'd recommend it if you are visiting Reno. We greatly enjoyed our time at Whitaker Park.

Nice little city park. Pavillion with grill and tables to prepare and serve food, and it's covered to escape the sun. There are also tennis courts, horseshoe pits, and a fairly decent playland for kids with a slide. Also two regular and two child sized swings. One very impressive thing is that it's a little higher than downtown and gives a great breeze.
