I have been to this park many times. As a matter of fact, I used to come to this park on a weekly basis to meet up with a local playgroup when the park first opened. Sadly, my kids are all grown. However, it is still a wonderful space to play if you have small kids.
This park is located next to Melio Gaspari Water Play Park and Spanish Springs Washoe County Public Library. Incidentally, the park building houses space that can be rented for special events that opens up to a coved patio with BBQs and tables. Bathrooms are always clean.
I am not sure how many acres are at this park but it is large and has huge older shade trees, a volleyball area, horseshoe pit, BBQs, tables and benches and playground equipment. There is also a large covered BBQ space that can be rented for special events.
It has an upper and lower park. The lower park is closer to the skateboard park inside the Lazy 5. The lower park is mostly playground equipment for younger kids. However, this too also has a large covered bbq space that can be rented for special occasions. It has a restroom building which is normally clean.

Read moreThis is a hidden gem. Love this park. So clean.
If I had committed more earnestly to some of the earlier relationships I had in life, or at least one of them, I would be able to take children here to enjoy the accoutrements.
As it stands, however, I can still stroll and appreciate how well maintained this property is. The landscaping is among the best you will find in any park in the Reno-Sparks area. There's a water park, so I hear. The skate park is a pleasant and unexpected treat. Wish they had this kind of stuff when I was...
