Truckee River Regional Park

What a great park! This park is huge and beautiful. There's fields for games, a softball field, a skate park, and a jungle gym. The play area is nice and has lots of different options. They have a big play structure, as well as a small area for 2-5 year olds and swings. There's a train track running around the kids play area. This park would be perfect in the summer, as there are lots of trees for shade!

The bathrooms were not in service when I went, but it could just be due to the time of year.

6.24.23: On Saturday I was lucky enough to attend the 3rd annual Truckee Reggae Fest. I've been here many times before for live music and other various events. First of all, Truckee is beautiful in itself. Secondly, the park is green and well kept. Public restrooms were open and clean.

Lastly, the amphitheatre part of the park is tucked away and slopes down like a traditional amphitheatre and is a grassy hill. More towards the stage, the ground flattens out and is landscaped with hard sand, if you know what I mean. The sound projects really nicely throughout the amphitheatre and is one of my favorite local-ish venues.

Whether you're a local or a tourist or just happened to stumble by in passing travels, I highly suggest checking out an event here or just making a day for a picnic.

Worth noting, from June 21 to Aug 30, every Wednesday there's live music in the park. I've provided the website of this summer's schedule:

Another big park in this area. It has some fantastic scenery. Truckee River Regional Park is my favorite of those in northern Tahoe. Lots to see around here. You can also find many facilities for athletics, cooking, and other things.

It covers a big area. Located on the south side of town where there's mostly not a lot going on. That's one of the appeals of this. Lots of scenery here to take in. The area is wide open except for the many trees. Good to come here in any weather because the scenery is always beautiful. The summers are good for cookouts and hiking. Many people come to Truckee for the skiing and this is a popular place for some of that, so that time it can get busy. There's also an ice rink for some other winter activities besides just skiing.

Come here any time of the year and it's fun. It's a good place for being outdoors. The weather can change quickly so bring seasonably appropriate clothing and other things.

Great sledding hill past the back of the parking lot! Bring some sleds and hot cocoa and enjoy watching the trains go by!

Awesome playground for kids! Trains, climbing spaces, and swings. Big trees with sone good shade as well as grass in the summer.

Beautiful and peaceful. One of the benefits of living in Northern Nevada, not far from this mountain town of Truckee. Love the smell of the pine trees. Spring in this area is lovely with the weather being warmer but still having snow on the ground in some areas.

Not many people out and about but it was Easter Sunday and I imagine people were visiting with their families doing their holiday thing.

Pleasant walk and photo op. Some were out playing baseball. Some were riding bikes on the trail. Somewhere there is/was a ice rink. Didn't see it though

Came here to ice-skate in lieu of skiing and snowboarding--what a great decision!

$6 unlimited skating
$3 rentals (warm)
$ cheap snacks and warm drinks

Lights were strung up above the rink to give it a slightly festive feel. Pretty romantic once the lights actually came on. The rink itself is outdoors and surrounded by some bleachers and tall pines so it got dark relatively fast but there was a beautiful and clear view of the mountains, trees, and sky in the distance. Someone was playing music loud enough for everyone to hear but it wasn't too imposing.

I came here mid-afternoon on a Saturday and it wasn't very crowded. It's a good-sized rink for families and friends who aren't pro since the rink is relatively small and circular. Only one advanced skater was seen practicing their spins and thankfully they were not trying to take up the whole rink with a routine. I felt like I had all the room I needed and more and nothing beats skating outside to a view!

We decided to do something outdoors today (4/16/18) and one of my friend's coworkers mentioned this trail. The park itself has a lot of facilities including a BBQ area, ball fields, a disk golf course, an amphitheater, and much more. Granted it was snowing so mostly everything was covered but I can definitely see this park active during the summer. The trail besides the river is paved and very easy. The sounds of the Truckee River rushing with force from the continued snow melt was therapeutic. The light snow added a nice effect too. Highly recommend if you're looking for a nice stroll.

I came here for ice skating the past weekend. My group and I arrived at around 4 pm on a Saturday and it wasn't super crowded. The prices here are super reasonable. It was $6 for admission and $3 for skate rentals, with no time limit.

The rink is situated outdoors, in the middle of a park with lots of trees. The rink itself was a bit small compared to your typical indoor rink, but I was still able to skate pretty fast and I had a lot of fun! If you're hoping to practice some pro moves though, this is probably not the rink for you.

What really made this place stand out was the ambiance. The vibe here is super nice and romantic. They have string lights above the rink that lit up as the sun started setting. The sky, the trees, the air, were all perfect.

There were also plenty of benches if you want to rest or just observe. They also sell hot chocolate, hot cider, and some other snacks. If you've decided to sit out on skiing/snowboarding, I highly recommend coming here to spend your afternoon!

This park is really cool for toddlers.

There is plenty of shaded areas. Two play structures, one for older kids and one for younger kids. Surrounding the park is a toddler train that operates during summer months.

This park is equipped with picnic tables, bbqs, grass area, bathrooms, and a skatepark.
