2. Truckee River Whitewater Park
- Surrounding Wingfield Park in Downtown Reno is the very popular Truckee River Whitewater Park. Nearly every summer day there are crowds of people enjoying the river, either by wading in it, rafting in it, kayaking or even swimming on a hot day. On cooler days, this is a perfect place for whitewater kayaking. This park is the only park in the U.S. that is right smack downtown close to hotels and parking and it open year-round.

You don't need to be a fitness guru to enjoy the natural wonders of Reno; these activities come just as active or relaxed as you'd like. Talk a walk along the Truckee River path, hike the Sierra's, or come winter hop on the bunny slopes for some Olympic worthy skiing. Reno is surprisingly green and full of parks and bike paths.
One of the best ways to see the city by bike is on the Truckee River bike path which runs by the River Walk and the Truckee Whitewater Park. This trail will take you from Verdi, just west of Reno, to Sparks in the east. Several parks include the popular Idlewild Park, which is also located right next to the Truckee River and the Rancho San Rafael park near downtown Reno.
If you want a great view, visit the local favorite of Windy Hill. This park in the south of Reno offers a view of all of Reno and the foothills around the city. For some fun in the sun, attend a Reno Aces baseball game at the brand new stadium in downtown, or play a round of golf at the Rosewood Lakes or Arrowcreek Golf Club. If you are in the Reno area during the summer and you brought the kids with you, head to Sparks and Wild Island. This water park has a dozen or so slides, a lazy river, a wave pool and is a great way to enjoy the hot Nevada sun.
