This park is an amazing location with it being at the top of the list for great choices for family fun. It has several options of things to do and next to the Truckee River. There are loads of events throughout the year being held here with room for more. After speaking with people who grew up visiting this park, it be amazing if the city would bring back some of the options which used to be available. It would only enrich and enhance ones experience at this park.

Central Park for Reno. Large and with some many beautiful things to see. My preschooler loves the various playgrounds, the ducks and geese, and the ground squirrels. I love the Rose Garden and the activity loop around the park. Great for families, those wanting exercise, dog lovers and walkers, and nature lovers.

I absolutely love Virginia Lake and the surrounding area. Lots of ducks, geese, pigeons, a few swans, turtles and a couple blue heron! Great for any age. Adults love to walk or jog on the 1-mile track around the lake, kids love the playground and the dogs love the dog park and walk. There's also an outdoor gym and picnic tables as well as benches viewing the lake if you just want to relax and take it the beauty.

1 mile (mostly) flat walk around. Wheelchair accessible. Dogs allowed but on leash only. There is a dog park near the south end of the lake. Many birds including migratory birds, seasonally. Fountains and art in the lake, kids play areas around the lake, exercise/stretching areas around the lake. Can be crowded with runners and walkers on warm days/weekends.

This is my kids favorite Park. They like to call it the dinosaur park. Awesome Trail to walk including workout stations with multiple parks also there is an arboretum and Botanical Garden. There are even a museum and a dog park. We enjoy going and eating lunch there as there are benches to sit. They used to have an active water amusement ride which is no longer active but still there for you to view. There is a pond where you can watch the ducks bob up and down on the water. They used to have animals but the last time we were there they only had two turkeys but one was gigantic!! you should go check it out!!

This place is so pretty. Lots of nature and fun actives for the kids! They have a beautiful trail for hiking and a dog park. They have a museum and host event here! You can even reserve a spot for the events you would like to host out doors!! The parking lot is great sized. I am very picky about where I park and these spaces are big enough for over sized cars with room to spare. The pond is one of my favorites. When looking at the pond there he's there family.
