Along the Truckee River in the tranquil Truckee Meadow is fast-growing Sparks, Nevada, Reno's less flamboyant neighbor to the east. Although home to only one high rise casino, Sparks offers visitors other pleasures with live festivals and events in open air venues, a lively farmers' market, a multiplex theater and less pricey accommodations than its high-rolling neighbor. Its proximity to both Reno's casinos and Lake Tahoe makes Sparks a perfect destination for a Northern Nevada Vacation.

This is a great park for walking with or without the dog. Family friendly with a kids playground and swimming in the season. There is a veterans memorial area which is nicely designed in the front and you can canoe or kayak in the marina.

Even though I thought the movie was lacking, the theatre is good to go. Been here many times and never had an issue. Was able to bring a dirty Wookie in the theatre as well.

Both the Hills and Lakes courses offer some great challenges. I personally enjoyed the Lakes course more; although, I do think the name should be changed to Beaches! I found myself in bunkers on at least 12 of the 18 holes. Be warned - There are many many bunkers on this course. The Hills course provides some great views. Nice layout of both.
