Park Pick Of The Week!

Eagle Canyon Park, Sparks NV

There is a really nice, covered picnic area with plenty of tables for everyone, with grills for BBQing, and plenty of parking. The best part of this park is the playground by far.

There is soft padding underneath the playground for our wild ones, with plenty to climb on and there is a smaller playground for the little kids, making it great for all ages!
