Idlewild Park

This park is beautiful and we love to bring the kids here for a lovely afternoon! The rose garden has many varieties and is a nice romantic walk, and the river and trees of course are gorgeous.

This is a great park with "zip lines" and a good amount of height to climb around on. Plus, they've got a pool and a skate park and gooses. Yes, gooses.

Sunday’s Farmer’s Market is a place to meet friends, take a stroll with the family and learn about local artisan’s creations. Look out for local musicians making the wander really pleasant.

The walk was wonderful. It was a beautiful day and the shade from the trees cut the heat to a minimum.

Fresh food, honey and so much more.

I was captivated by Rossi Bakes. Snack and lunch sized allergen-free treats. If I only had a cooler, I would have been able to transport more flavours home.

Stop by and see Rossi Bakes.

Great park, fun things to do, see and eat especially on Friday evenings! I've been going to this park for over 10 years and I'm never disappointed. The one thing it needed was an updated playground which was completed over a year ago and what a great playground it is! Between being right on the truckee River, the original playground accompanied by the train, beautiful gardens, a pond with fountains in the center, nice pathways for walking or bicycling, decent bathrooms (most of the time, large covered picnic areas, playing fields, swimming pools (during the summer) and indoor facilities you can rent for events, etc. This park has it all! What is even better is its walking distance from our home and I just love the walk along the river to get here! Sadly, we are moving back to CA and I'm going to miss this park and all the wonderful memories. I remember the first time I discovered this park while out walking my dog just after I'd moved to Reno and when I walked to the park with my daughter in her jogger just after she was born and we still do just not in the jogger anymore!! She experienced many things for the first time in this park like her first Easter egg hunt, her first train ride, building her first sand castle, her very first swimming lessons and her first time riding a bike! I remember when she was a baby and the first food truck fridays we attended at Idlewild when there were maybe 10 or so food trucks at most but we loved it and have been coming back every summer since. We come here all year round and have had a few snow ball fights, built a few snow people and made snow angels here in the winter. During covid when we couldn't go anywhere we walked here and along the river through the park almost daily! This is a really wonderful park for all to enjoy and I'm really really going to miss it! If you haven't been here then you're missing one of the best parks in Reno or anywhere for that matter!

A lovely park by the river in Reno. Easy access and good parking make this location a delight to visit.

The park is dog friendly, they must be on a leash, with plenty of places to walk, sit or feed the ducks and geese. We felt very safe here and enjoy our many visits.

Idlewild Park is beautiful. There are walking trails and so many wonderful spots for pictures.
The events at the park are always well thought out and prepared, like the summer Farmers Market. Do go and enjoy the outdoors!

Food truck Friday is always a good time. The park is nice. They have Port of pottys. This year there doesn't seem to be as many trucks but we all enjoyed our food. We had crepes, shrimp skewers, lemonade, hot chicken, tappanaki.
