Huffaker Park — Attraction in Reno

Lived across the street for 8 years and what used to be a beautiful scenic neighborhood park has turned into the local low income housings' drug transaction center, and where Jerks come to play their car stereo at 150 decibels or higher. I can't even allow my kids to play in our front yard or much less the actual park because the non stop traffic that completely ignores the speed limit signs and confuses a 7 & 8 year olds with NASCAR fans while trying to impress them with burnout and traveling 50+ mph on a road barley wide enough for two directions of travel. It's become quite ridiculous and frankly miserable. Their are dog fights all the time I hear pet owners yelling at one another because one of them thinks it's ok to have their pit bull off a leash because "their not Not naturally aggressive" or "I swear he's never acted like this" mean while the shitzu owner is picking up their beloved companion off the sidewalk in pieces. And this is no sarcasm and I do not joke I've seen this similar unfolding at least 5 times. The past 8 month, nearly every weekend has produced a fiesta of some kind which I'm all for celebrations I just wish I could understand the music that's blaring from 11 am till two hour after nightfall. Oh and you can forget about coming to this park on any weekday during or around the hours of noon, being that it has become the preferred location for every employee of IGT to leave their in&out burger trash and cigarette butts next to the curb After spending their lunch break glued to their phone. I can't believe how much has changed in the past year I understand that the economy is getting stronger and perhaps the reason why so many people have moved into the vicinity but what ever it is I just wish people wouldn't be so disrespectful and remember that other people are trying to enjoy the park too. Not just Honda Civic driving, bandanna wearing, corona drinking, pit bull breeding, pot heads who use the local residents parking space to smoke doobies for hours on end. So It's basically a nice park (for drug deals) you just have to look passed all the lovely aforementioned gift that have overtaken the once peaceful...

Most of these reviews are for the small park at the corner of Huffaker and Offenhauser which is also called Huffaker Park. Why are there two Huffaker Parks? Well, they used to be connected until development and IGT split them apart, but the City of Reno, in their lightning speed of reaction, has yet to rename the smaller park and hence there will be confusion for all. Even Google is confused and thinks the bigger park is a measly 9-acres and doesn't even put any name on the smaller park which has a baseball diamond and tennis courts. How can Huffaker Park (the big one) be a neighborhood park that spans three neighborhoods? More like a regional park with a big dam...
