Outdoor Activities
Outdoor Activitie
s The Whitewater Park has grown
into a cultural icon, an essential ingredient of Downtown that
is the envy of cities across the country. Opened in 2004, the
half-mile Whitewater Park features five drop pools over 1400
feet in the north channel; six pools over 1200
feet in the south channel. The north and
south channels are created by Wingfield Park,
a grassy island park with an amphitheater
and facilities for concerts, festivals, picnics,
outdoor sports and recreation. Visitors to the
park will commonly see people using kayaks,
canoes, rafts, or inner tubes pass through the
park any time of the year. Kayak, raft and tube
rentals are available by local concessionaires.
As with all river systems, safety precautions
should be exercised (i.e. use of personal
floatation devices). No lifeguard on duty.

Recreation
In July 2008, the Reno City Council approved Reno’s
first Recreation Facilities Plan. The document
outlines long-range and short-term goals for
providing enhanced recreation facilities for the
community. The plan incorporated extensive citizen
involvement and input, and focuses on the addition
of new facilities. The city is pursuing partnerships
with entities such as Washoe County, the University
of Nevada and many non-profit organizations to
create ball fields, aquatic centers, tennis facilities,
preserve open space and expand its trail system in all
sectors of the city. These projects will develop over
a 5-20 year planning horizon.
Also at its July 2008 meetings, the Reno City
Council voted unanimously to invest $7.5 Million to
improve existing city recreation facilities. It was
a landmark action demonstrating the Council’s
commitment to improving the quality of life
in Reno and protecting its park and recreation
investments. The City Council actions were based
on a lengthy citizen involvement process over the
previous nine months and a thorough analysis of
all city-owned and operated park and recreation
facilities. A report was compiled outlining the
prioritization of repairs needed to be completed.
Over the next 18 months, improvements to the
city’s pools, tennis courts, recreation centers and
Rosewood Lakes Golf Course will be undertaken.
In addition, funding will be used to rehabilitate
parks and other park and recreation support
facilities. The funds will address the immediate
short-term needs of the facilities, many of
which may not be readily noticeable to the user.
Buildings will be repaired or roofing replaced,
fire protection systems will be upgraded, and
plumbing/mechanical/electrical improvements
will be made. The most noticeable to users will be
exterior improvements, refinished wood floors, and
more comfortable indoor environments. For more
