Trails are of a more natural type and you can expect brush to be grown and unkempt. Nice spot to see the Truckee River. Mornings are the coolest time of day here.

This was toted to be one of the better parks in Reno. Park is run down and suffering from neglect. Trails have not been properly maintained, trees and branches are all over the place. Washrooms were filthy. With a bit of time and effort to clean things up and do some site maintenance this could be a very pretty park

Went to park to enjoy the scenery and to do some birding. Park was closed for repairs (with no indication of being closed on the website) and the homes immediately around the entrance had signs posted about no parking, no turnarounds, et cetera. The entrance is at the end of the street and has a chute of about 100 feet with fencing on both sides so if you are not paying attention that the park is closed you could wind up having to back up several hundred feet to get to a place so you can turn around. Would be nice if the park had a sign about it being closed before you get to the end of the street.

Hidden away from the neon lights and bustling of downtown Reno is a lovely nature preserve and riparian area known as Oxbow Nature Study Area and the adjacent Sack Park. Strolling along the shady and well groomed trails than run along the north bank of the Truckee river, I felt like I had entered an interactive Myst-like computer game. The lush foliage and paths and stark burned skeletons of trees and seemingly random fences and benches add a back drop to the screeches and squawks of the birds and the rustling of small mammals in the undergrowth. Suddenly you hear the train whistle and the rumbling of metal upon metal as a freight train rushes by unseen on the other side of the tall brush. Walking along the path you round a bend and there, in a shady grassy clearing, are a deer and her two does. They skitter back into the shadows of the trees blending in with the natural camouflage. The main path is an easy, handicapped accessible path that runs between the Truckee River and 4th Street. There are side loops and spurs and ample places to sit an enjoy the scenery and abundant wild life. Highly recommended as a quiet respite from city life.

I've Been going here for many years. There are many places to get alone by the river and zone out. Walk further down the path and get off on a dirt side trail and you won't be disappointed.
