Thomas Creek Park

Nature's Hillside Retreat

Situated in south Reno, Thomas Creek Park spans 6 acres of neighborhood greenspace with a distinct hillside setting. As you wander through, you'll be treated to breathtaking views of the Truckee Meadows and the majestic Carson Range in the distance.

The park gracefully ascends a hillside with grassy open areas that invite you to spread out a blanket or toss a frisbee. The namesake Thomas Creek meanders through the grounds, adding a soothing soundtrack of flowing water to your visit.

Get Moving or Just Unwind

If you're looking to break a sweat or simply relax with a good book, this park offers options for both. Active visitors can take advantage of several well-maintained recreational facilities.

The tennis courts here are particularly well-kept - ideal for a friendly match or serious practice. There are also basketball and volleyball courts if that's more your speed. All these spaces are maintained by the folks at Washoe County Regional Parks and Open Space.

A Park for All Seasons

Though the park welcomes visitors year-round, it really shines during the warmer months when locals come out to play. Its elevated position makes it an incredible spot to catch sunsets over the Reno skyline - definitely worth sticking around for if you have the time.

There's something charming about this tucked-away park with its quiet atmosphere, making it a favorite among nearby residents looking for a peaceful escape.

What You'll Find

You'll have access to drinking water during your visit, and kids can burn off energy at the playground. Paved paths wind around the grounds, great for a morning jog or evening stroll.

Note that there are no public restrooms available at this park, so plan accordingly before your visit.
