John Mankins Park

"Nice clean park with a lot of options for the kids to play on. They loved it so I did too."

"There is a lot to do at this park for the kids. Not a lot of seating right next to the playground, but the grass is green and there is a lot of shade to lay a blanket and chill while the kids play. I often bring my guitar to strum while the kids play. Some of the equipment is pretty high up, and can be a little unnerving watching your young ones climb up to the top. But it is well caged, and as long as other parents are mindful of their children's behavior, it is a fun and safe place to bring your kids. There is also a skate park, basketball, baseball field, and lots of grassy areas to use. Probably the best park in Carson City."

"Beautiful day time covered park for school age children & smaller sized toddler aged park with toddler swings. Only downfall for some is that there are no dogs allowed. Our puppy had to sadly sit in our vehicle. We are responsible pet owners, we clean up after our well behaved we'll mannered pup. Unfortunately some ruin this for others I suppose. Also a baseball field, skate bike trick park and a tennis courts."

"Amazing park with lots of shade and rubber matting great for little toddlers learning to walk. The slides come out nice and low so smaller kids can use them without falling out the ends. Has a big grassy area too, wish it was fenced off a little more but it's still relatively far from the neighborhood road so it would still take time if you kid bolted for the road before they actually reached it. Play structures are amazing for all ages and there is even baby swings. Great park all around, my 1yo loved it."

"My son asks me to take him to "the big park with the huge castle" almost everyday and I have no problem with telling him yes. We love to take a lunch and have a picnic in the grass. Then we take a walk around park. Sometimes we fly a kite or throw his toy airplane around. He really likes to drive his remote control car at the skate park there. The other kids are always welcoming to him as he's only three. They all like to get a turn driving his car too. He never fails to make new friends with the many other children. I like that there is a toddler playground as well as the three story playground for the older kids."
