Wonderful park, for picnics, lounging and relaxation!! Across the street from the Truckee River. And every Thursday is the farmers market from 4pm to 8pm. Lots of fun, live music, fresh vegetables, Oracle Readings and Arts & Crafts By Janay! Family fun community gathering ❤

Several years ago my daughter got married here. Very nice venue for a do-it-yourself wedding for about 100. Great dance floor. Not too expensive. Today I attended the Reno Garlic Fest on the grounds around the Center. Always nice to visit.

I've dropped by McKinley many times. Sometimes I'm just there resting on their benches, watching the Riverwalk folk walk or jog by. Sometimes I'll stop inside for gallery shows that so far all had really unique artworks. Last visit was an animal fair of sorts....Read More

We visited the short morning sessions for kids during art-town, the themes were great and promoted more discussions later. Everyone involved in the short presentations was passionate and did a very good job! The event was free too! Thank you :)
