About the Venue

Idlewild Park Water Play is one of the City of Reno's listed seasonal splash-pad and water-toy locations. Families already heading to Idlewild get the added benefit of a summer spray-play stop in a larger destination park. It's best approached as a casual drop-in feature inside a busy community park rather than a standalone spray park.
