Reno, Nevada
Idlewild Park is a beloved 49-acre urban park located along the Truckee River near downtown Reno. Known for its rose garden and mature trees, it serves as a green oasis for residents and visitors. The park is a hub for community gatherings, including the popular Food Truck Friday.
Stroll through the fragrant rose garden, take a ride on the miniature train, or enjoy a picnic by the duck ponds. In summer, the pool is a popular spot for cooling off.
Summer Friday evenings are lively with food trucks. Spring brings the rose garden to life with vibrant blooms.
The park is free and open to the public. Food Truck Friday runs seasonally from late spring to early fall.
Facilities include restrooms, playgrounds, skate park, baseball fields, and picnic areas. The park is wheelchair accessible.
Parking can be tight during events, so consider walking or biking along the river path from downtown.
The Riverwalk District and downtown Reno are within walking distance along the river trail.
