Newlands Park

Newlands Park is a public park located in Reno, Nevada. The park is situated in the historic Newlands neighborhood.

Newlands Park consists of two parcels: one comprising a half-circle between Newlands Circle and California Avenue, and another fronting the edge of a bluff on the north side of California Avenue. This second parcel offers views of the Truckee River and northwest Reno.

The park's history is intertwined with the Newlands family, who owned significant property in the area. It was established as a memorial to Senator Francis G. Newlands, who had represented Nevada in Congress. The idea for the park was first discussed publicly in 1919, a few years after Senator Newlands' death.

Newlands Park is recognized as a contributing resource to the Newlands Historic District due to its significance as a designed landscape. The park's development was closely coordinated with Reno city government, which agreed to accept it as a memorial park.
