Virginia Lake Dog Park

Beautiful park. Lots of birds at the lake. Fun playground for the kids.

Update: nothing has changed and will be rating lower. Haven't been back since the incident. It’s a good sized park with a small dog section. The super bad thing about it is the dogs can squeeze or push the small dog gate open, this happened to us unfortunately. The gate needs to be fixed. Needs some updating too, area is a little run down and the people who keep it up are the ones that bring their dogs…not the city.

Always friendly dog-people with their dogs. Most people are very mindful of their dog's behavior, and super friendly. All dirt, with some agility equipment. Shady areas, dog waste bags and trash receptacles nearby, and fully-enclosed area.

My dog Sierra has her dog friends and people friends that she sees every day. This is a great dog park that has a community of regulars that care about their dogs and the park.

Has a small agility course, and an off leash zone for small dogs. The small dog area has a gate at the back so packs using it can join the big dogs if they want. There are benches and a concrete walkway for the humans in the big dog area, and a picnic table under a pergola in each play area. The water fountains are probably controlled by the city of Reno (I am not sure) and I have not seen them on yet in the 5 months I have been using this park. The closest public restrooms are in Virginia Lake Park and at Virginia Lake itself, and I have not had good luck finding them open. Overall the park is a well cared for haven. The dogs here love it and love to play.
