About Dorostkar Park in Reno
Dorostkar Park is a 26-acre public park located along the Truckee River in Reno, Nevada. This Washoe County park offers visitors a serene natural setting with river access and recreational opportunities.
The park features a 1.5-mile moderately trafficked loop trail that is primarily used for hiking, walking, and nature trips. The trail is accessible year-round and allows leashed dogs. Along the path, visitors can enjoy scenic views of the Truckee River and the surrounding landscape.
Dorostkar Park provides access to the Tahoe-Pyramid Trail, a paved bike path that follows the Truckee River. This makes it a popular spot for cyclists and pedestrians alike. The park's location near the Mayberry Underpass connects it to the broader trail system in the area.
Originally part of the historic Capurro Ranch, the land was later donated by Dr. Massoud Dorostkar, a former anesthesiologist. The park now serves as a valuable green space for the local community, offering opportunities for picnicking, fishing, and wildlife observation.
The park does not have restroom facilities, but it does offer improved parking for visitors. Its riverside location makes it a cool refuge on hot days, and interpretive signs along the trail provide information about the local ecosystem and history.
