Cottonwood Park

Cottonwood Park along the Truckee River bend is a beautiful place to enjoy fresh air and sunshine right within the Reno-Sparks area. To enjoy the sight and sound of Canada Geese, Mallards, Egrets, and Herons. And sometimes various other little critters, squirrels, and beavers, and even a solitary native mink...

We were there volunteering to pick up trash from the river bed and stray rubber ducks from the race. The Sparks park department was awesome and helped us with all that we gathered, including in old Lime bike. They keep the park very clean. There’s grassy area and a couple of covered picnic tables. The bike path runs through it, and it is quite busy on any given day.

This is a very nice place to get in the water if only there weren't so many people living at the park it would feel a lot safer

Super adorable 😍 it's Hot Agust nights do we basically had it to ourselves. So much fun. Love discovering new little spots here in town. Nevada is my playground 💙

Great pull out for rafts and tubes, also looks very productive for fisherman, have not fished yet

Nice place wish they leave bathroom open year round or put porta pottys in

Got stuck here with a dead battery and no gas for two days it was lovely we weren't in any real danger as it's right in town. There wasn't too many people and the river was just perfect. Highly recommend.

Our puppy loves to play fetch in the Truckee at this park.

This is my favorite park to go swimming at. This park is always very clean, the grounds are well kept, and the bathrooms are always clean and well stocked even on the busiest days.

Hidden gem that offers everything you could want!

Nice little trail to walk the dogs. Haven't gone very far down it but have visited 3 times in 2 weeks.

Beautiful park let's hope the city can keep it clean and free of trash.

Have been here multiple times, for something surrounded by industry, it is gorgeous. Cool water and long Beach, it has a nice park next to it. Recommend to take the family out for a fiesta.

Very quiet place , nice view of the river and restrooms!! One medium size grill. The only thing is that is by a warehouses. Tons of close parking.

Beautiful park next to the river. Has a lot of shady benches far apart to relax with family. Tons of shade and grass. Has a paved bike and running trail running through it as well

Great place to go walk along the river on the path , pet and kid friendly, nice grass area under very large trees. BBQ and horse shoes area.

Dog friendly, tables to breakfast, a lot of trees, green grass, open area, consider is a small park but no much people in the morning

This park is good to fish at, go rafting in, walk on the trail, feed the ducks, bbq with friends & family and simply just hang out at.

Great park to bring your dog. Bathrooms and water fountain are closed during the winter, but it is right next to a great walking path along the Truckee River.

Love cliff jumping here! Pick up your trash
