Parks & Recreation Director's Message
I look forward to fall every year as it’s my favorite season. As we transition into cooler weather, I hope everyone has the opportunity to visit our many parks, trails, pools, and recreation centers. If you are able to visit our parks or trails, fall is the perfect time to see the colors change.
Our passionate parks and recreation team continues to enhance our community’s quality of life by providing opportunities to improve your health both physically and mentally. We strive to serve all ages and all abilities.
Finally, this will be my last Director’s Message as I will be retiring by the end of the year. My career at the City of Reno has been a wonderful journey over the past 27 years. It has been a true honor and privilege to lead a remarkable team of dedicated professionals, all who contribute everyday toward making a community we are proud to call home.
We look forward to seeing you out and about and as always, wish you and yours good health.
Warmly, Jaime Schroeder Director of Parks and RecreationReno Parks & Recreation Commission

Program fees are calculated on cost recovery goals and are presented to the Reno City Council on an annual basis. Council approves the fee schedule in May of each year. The fees collected from these programs are not intended for profit. The fees cover the costs of providing necessary supplies and staff to run said programs. Fees and programs are subject to change without notice and may change after this document is published. The City of Reno Parks and Recreation Department reserves the right to make cancellations as deemed necessary and refund accordingly.
Scholarships & Fee Assistance
The City of Reno is committed to providing recreational opportunities to all residents regardless of economic circumstances. For this reason, a limited fund fee assistance program is available to those who qualify. If you have wanted to participate in our all-day camps, before-and-after school programs or qualified classes but couldn’t because of financial circumstances, we encourage you to apply.
Income level, family size, and other criteria determine whether or not fee assistance is awarded. Many families that qualify for a reduced program fee are not taking advantage of the opportunity simply because they haven't asked to be considered.
