Wingfield Park Amphitheater

Located on the Truckee River near downtown Reno, Wingfield Park is actually five different parks: Wingfield Park (East Island), Wingfield Park (West Island), Brick Park, Bennett Park, and Bicentennial Park. The Wingfield Park Amphitheater is located in the first of these, right in the middle of the river and bordered by South Arlington Avenue to the west. It serves as a venue for concerts, ballet, theater, music, storytelling, children's programs, films, and more.

When the amphitheater was first proposed, a feasibility study was required to ensure that proposed construction within the channel would have "negligible impact on the conveyance of the River." In 1991, a local engineering firm concluded that the criteria could be met as well as regulations set forth by FEMA regarding flood control. Today, the Wingfield Park Amphitheater is a permanent fixture within the Reno community, surrounded by picnic shelters, barbeque areas, basketball courts, tranquil pathways, and strategically located sound walls.

One annual event held here for more than a dozen years is July's month-long concert series called "Rollin' on the River." It features free performances of local, regional and nationally recognized artists. The Wingfield Park Amphitheater is located near the intersection of First Street and Arlington Avenue, Reno, Nevada 89503. Park hours are from 5am to 10pm from May 1st through Labor Day and 6am to 7pm the rest of the year.
