Truckee Meadows Parks Foundation, in cooperation with our partners at Dementia Friendly Washoe County and the Sanford Center for Aging, offers a free, weekly series of interpretive nature walks specifically designed to be accessible and inclusive for all, including individuals living with dementia and their care partners. These walks will give participants an opportunity to connect to the natural world through an experiential exploration of seasonal change along the Truckee River in Idlewild Park. The walks focus on the seasonal change of plant and animal life (i.e first bud burst of target plants, the first sighting of a specific bird, first leaf fall of the season, etc.). Join us for the walks every Thursday at 10 am at Idlewild Park- 50 Cowan Drive, Reno NV. *Registration not required. *Participants who need assistance with personal tasks must be accompanied by a care partner.

During this global pandemic, help us help our parks, and people, continue to grow with a donation today! Ayúdanos a ayudar a nuestros parques y a la gente a seguir creciendo durante este tiempo. Con una crisis de salud mundial, desempleo y aislamiento social, ha sido difícil saber a dónde acudir para encontrar la paz. A través de esta temporada continua de incertidumbre, los parques sirven como pulmones de nuestra región. Con las repercusiones financieras que se avecinan de 2020 para los muchos presupuestos de parques locales, estatales y federales, sabemos que esta carga recaerá en organizaciones comunitarias como nosotros, y necesitamos su ayuda para lograrlo. Dona G.E.T. Outdoors Durante esta pandemia global, los estudiantes de 7.º a 12.º grado reciben menos oportunidades de salir al aire libre y relacionarse con la naturaleza y sus amigos. Durante el último año, Truckee Meadows Parks Foundation ha estado desarrollando una aplicación para teléfonos inteligentes para alentar a los estudiantes a mantenerse activos y explorar sus parques locales. Con su ayuda, esperamos involucrar a los estudiantes con esta emocionante aplicación móvil para la primavera de 2021. * Algunas fotografías fueron tomadas antes de las pautas de distanciamiento social. Saludable por Naturaleza Los árboles son los pulmones de nuestra comunidad. Truckee Meadows Parks Foundation continúa desarrollando el Área de Estudio de la Naturaleza propuesta, un espacio comunitario construido por usted, para usted. Desde la pandemia de marzo pasado, vemos la importancia de hacer crecer nuestros espacios abiertos como un lugar para que los miembros de nuestra comunidad se rejuvenezcan y encuentren la paz. Necesitamos su ayuda para asegurarnos de que los espacios abiertos sigan estando disponibles para usted. Descubre sus Parques Ha sido un año largo y es hora de invertir en ti mismo invirtiendo en tus parques locales. Sabemos que los beneficios de salir al aire libre reducen el estrés y mejoran la salud física y mental. Los estudios nos muestran que las actividades organizadas pueden aumentar el uso del parque en un 25%. Al brindar acceso a caminatas gratuitas Descubra sus parques, mantenemos vivos estos programas con su apoyo.

All campers and camp educators must also follow our Camp Covid-19 Policy . More Info Why Winter Break Camp? According to Peter Scales and the American Camp Association, "Camp is one of the few institutions where young people can experience and satisfy their need for physical activity, creative expression and true participation in a community environment. Most schools don't satisfy all these needs." There is a projected 14% increase in STEM-related jobs, but only 16% of high school students are proficient in STEM subjects. With our STEAM, standards-based curriculum at the Student Stewards Winter Break Camp, students will be better prepared for high school and beyond!

With community input, the City of Reno and the Somersett Owners Association have partnered to design and build a new park in West Somersett. Crissie Caughlin Bocce Ball Courts Donate Today Goal : Build Bocce Ball Courts at Crissie Caughlin Park to provide a fun outdoor experience for families to enjoy. Location : The proposed location for the bocce ball courts takes advantage of the existing space currently used by the horseshoe pits. By moving the horseshoe area to elsewhere in the park, the space can be better utilized by the bocce ball courts. Community Benefits : Input from the community has shown the desire for a bocce ball court that is accessible to neighborhood families. In addition to the benefits outdoor activity provides, the courts would be able to be used for recreational leagues in the future, which benefits the community through social interactions between neighbors. Fundraising Goal : The amount needed to complete this project is $5000. This will cover the materials and labor needed to install the new courts at Crissie Caughlin park. Proposed Location Photos: Thank you to all the community members supporting this project. Donate today to help make these courts a reality! Donate Today

Volunteer with Truckee Meadows Parks Foundation and help us keep dog waste out of our parks and river. This project is made possible with the help of dedicated volunteers and community partners. Only You Can Toss Your Dog's Poo! Protecting the Truckee River Watershed In addition to the unpleasant experience it creates for park-goers, dog waste poses a significant risk to environmental and human health! Why should we clean up dog waste? Every time it rains or snow melts, dog waste is washed into drains and storm sewers. The waste, full of unhealthy bacteria, flows with the stormwater directly into ponds, lakes, and rivers. In high enough quantities, the bacteria and parasites found in dog waste cause bodies of water to become unsafe for recreation activities like swimming and fishing. 1/4 How Can You Help? Get More Stations Near You! In 2023, the Doggie Ambassador Project distributed 491,800 dog waste bags. This n umber increased from 447,000 waste bags in 2022. Each of these bags distributed represents dog waste that was picked up and prevented from entering the Truckee River watershed! A gift of $500 will install a new dog waste station, and supply it with 2 years worth of bags! Any amount helps this ongoing project, so please give what you can. The pups thank you in advance! Donate Now Become A Doggie Ambassador! The Doggie Ambassador Project comprises 90 waste stations across 54 parks, trails, and open spaces in Reno, Sparks, and Washoe County. These numbers continue to grow! Join the 41 current volunteers today, and help replenish these essential supplies at dog waste stations in your local parks and open spaces! For Current Doggie Ambassadors: Recurring Bag Distribution Idlewild Park: Wed-Thurs 10:00-3:00 pm Rosewood Nature Study Area: Tues-Sat 9:00-4:00 pm Volunteer Find a Station Near You Questions?
