The City of Reno’s Parks and Recreation Department is launching another session of its popular Rolling Recreation Program, running from April 22 through June 14.
This eight-week initiative provides the community with free access to a wide range of engaging activities, all hosted at Barbara Bennett Park, located at 400 Island Avenue in downtown Reno.
The program is designed to bring recreation directly to the neighborhoods, making it easier for families and children, especially those without nearby recreation centers, to enjoy outdoor fun.
Participants can enjoy a mix of games and hands-on activities, including yard games, football, basketball, plastic axe throwing, telescopes, video games, Nerf guns, Jenga, dodgeball, and even glow-in-the-dark night games.
The schedule for the Rolling Recreation Program is as follows:
- Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays: 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.
- Wednesdays: 1 p.m. to 6 p.m.
- Saturdays: 8 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Nathan Ullyot, the Director of Parks and Recreation, emphasized the importance of outdoor activity, stating, “It’s finally spring in Reno, and what better way to reconnect with the outdoors than participating in a variety of fun, engaging activities in your neighborhood parks? We are excited to bring recreation within walking distance to many of our community’s children who do not live close to our facilities to come out and play.”
For ongoing updates, including activity details and weather-related cancellations, residents are encouraged to visit the Parks & Recreation Department’s Rolling Recreation webpage.
