Dogs must be leashed at all times and owners are required to clean up the dog poop. If you want to let Rover run free, take him to one of the official dog parks in Reno or Sparks. A Brief History of Idlewild ParkAccording to National Park Service information, Idlewild Park and the California Building were gifts to Reno from the State of California. It was the dawn of the age of automobile travel and Reno was suddenly an important crossroads for two new transcontinental highways. Both the Lincoln Highway and the Victory Highway were being completed and a big celebration was in order, which turned out to be the 1927 Transcontinental Highway Exposition. The original Reno Arch built for the Exposition was moved to Idlewild Park before it ended up at its present location spanning Lake Street next to the National Automobile Museum.
