I like it! there are alot of people out walking, it is very warm in Reno and there is alot of diffrent birds here not just ducks. People keep there dogs on leashes, and there are picnic tables.

I love that Virginia Lake is smack dab in the middle of Reno! I enjoy walking the 1 mile loop 3 times. I love the several species of water fowl as well as the resident swan.

Outdoor parks and recreation are not the strong suit of a town that wants to keep you inside their casinos; and Virginia Lake Park is not going to draw many tourists from the casino floors. A dirty lake surrounded with dead vegetation and a fair number of homeless. Not much city pride here.

It's a great place in the middle of a closein Reno neighborhood--convenient, plenty of parking, lots of birds, a fishing pier, play equipment, a covered eating area, flowers in season. You can bring your leashed dogand strollers for the 1 mile loop around the lake. You can bike around the perimeter.

I love seeing all the various migrating birds at the lake. Unfortunately, the drought has caused avian botulism and many have died as fresh water couldn't supply enough to stem the disease. Very sad.

We do go to this park quite often as I enjoy the walking trail all around the park. It is a decent walk for me and my dogs at about a mile or so, with playgrounds and benches to stop along the way. There is an island in the middle of the lake and lots and lots of birds so if you dislike birds do not go to this park! At the moment there is some controversy as to what to do about the seasonal die-off of the ducks when the water loses its oxygenation in the summer. Other seasons there is no problem.There are a few picnic tables with benches and there are plenty of trash cans.

For visitors, this park is not easy to see but easy to find. It is near the Peppermill Casino. It's a great place to walk. It is 1 mile around Virginia Lake, so it is perfect for walking. Their are ducks, geese, and a swan in the lake. The setting is tranquil, and there is a great place for children to play across the street. Some just come to sit and enjoy the view, others walk, and some fish. It is in a residential neighborhood, but there is plenty of parking.

I have been visiting Virginia Lake Park for the past 67 years. I have not lived in NV for 50 years, so it always a trip back in time for me. Love it. The island is picturesque. The waterfowl are always welcome.Love going there.

The lake is pretty cool but the water is very dirty and gross. There is a swan there that is very beautiful and the birds follow people a lot. The park is pretty good for the kids, it's pretty well kept.
