"A good place to walk ,you get close to the river and even cross over a bridge,but they've let the weeds and shrubbery encroach on the trail at places where it's only about 3 ft wide. You can trip on the encroaching growth."
John Wood
"Another great park in the West Reno area. Close to Truckee River and you will find a lot of green. I feel there is something for everyone in this beautiful park. Nice bridge, nice green trails for walking. Great for everyone even if you have disabilities, you will be able enjoy walking or wheeling. Very clean and peaceful, while you can hear the river and water running. Yes, one of the best considering everything including location."
