The Truckee River Flood Management Authority (TRFMA) is currently evaluating plans for the Rock-McCarran project, a large open space initiative along the Truckee River in Reno, and they will be reviewing public input now through Aug 15.  One proposal would include space for recreational fields, one would not.

LET THEM KNOW YOU SUPPORT THE SPORTS COMPLEX CONCEPT!

• The Sports Complex Concept would include 11 flat fields to support youth recreation, plus nature trails and park areas. 

• The Nature Park Concept would prioritize only natural, undeveloped space, and include no playing fields:

‼️NOW is the time to advocate for the Sports Complex Concept to provide much-needed multi-use recreational space for our youth. Spaces where our kids can gather, grow, and play the games they love are desperately needed in our region and will benefit the whole community‼️
