University Ridge Park

"It's a go to for a view of our valley! The playground is intimate and the path is quick and simple. There's a small basketball court too. The park is usually not busy. It's a great place to see fireworks, it gets super busy, it's dark and parking is limited but the view is amazing. We can see as far as Damonte's and Virginia City's. Becareful when it's windy, it's worse up there."

"Literally the best view in Reno. Came before sunset, and it was incredible. Kids played at the playground, we walked the short path that was there. There is a field for kicking a ball around, lots of leashed dogs having fun. Great place."

"The 12.72-acre University Ridge Park offers the majestic mountain view overlooking Downtown Reno. The park provides amenities like a playground, basketball court, exercise area, covered shelter, picnic area, bbqs, restrooms, parking lot etc. We went there at night to see the stunning city lights at night."

"Great view of the entire city. They have clean bathrooms and grass areas. They have a playground, and bbq. There is a small area where with tables and chairs. It's very well maintained and best to go right at sunset to get the best pics."
