Gather your team of friends, family, or coworkers, and register today for the first annual Quail Quest, an all day photo scavenger hunt across the 200+ parks, trails, and open spaces in Reno, Sparks, and Washoe County.
The hunt is from 8am - 5pm with a picnic and awards ceremony at our office from 5pm - 8pm. There will be several scheduled bonus point meet-ups throughout the day. Live score updates will be provided by KXNV 89.1 and the TMPF team. After the hunt, teams will return to Idlewild Park for a picnic with food trucks, live music, and free beer! Not to mention we will be giving away tons of great prizes to the winning teams, plus fun categories like "Best Team Name"!

Members Only Nature Walk
Attention all TMPF members! Join us for our quarterly get-together next Thursday, May 21st at 6 pm. We'll be going on an easy guided stroll around beautiful Crystal Peak Park near Verdi. We're planning on a relaxing walk exploring both the biodiversity and unique history of the area. We'll also be providing picnic fare, so dinner is on us! Although not necessary, please RSVP with Jackie at jackie@tmparksfoundation.org or call Nate at 453-0698.
If you are not a member, consider joining today and we'll see you next week.
Phase I of the Virginia Lake Dog Nearing Completion
With big thanks to Silverwing Development, Robison Engineering, the VLDPRP, and all the generous individual supporters, Phase I of the Virginia Lake Dog Park is now under construction! With everyone's help, we raised $49,288 in cash and in-kind donations to get this renovation started.
Now we are hoping to raise another $50,000 for Phase II, which includes:
- photovoltaic (solar) LED lighting
- 16' x 16' shade structure
- three benches in the small dog area
- two benches in the large dog area
- improved landscaping
- dog agility features
An additional thanks to Peter Lissner, with Lifestyle Homes, for his pledge of $1,000 toward Phase II. It's a great way to get started.
