Looking for a place to cool off or just enjoy some urban open space with a nice lake? If you haven't discovered Sparks Marina Park, it would be worth your while to check out this excellent facility in the heart of Sparks.

During the hot summer months, the big attraction is swimming in Sparks Marina Lake. Lifeguards are on duty during certain hours, making the swimming cove a great place to take the kids. Of course, adults can get in and frolick right along with the children.
Other things you can do at Sparks Marina Park include fishing, boating (only electric motors allowed), walking the path around Sparks Marina Lake, renting space for get-togethers, taking Fifi to the dog park, and attending any of several annual events held at the park.
