The City of Fallon takes pride in its parks system. Fallon parks are available for use 365 days a year and provide plenty of room for rest and relaxation. The city owns and operates two major parks, an open air swimming pool, three neighborhood parks and three ball fields. In addition two new parks in the City and one in the County are currently being constructed.

The Mayor’s Millennium Commission was instrumental in acquiring land for two new City parks. Millennium Park at the corner of Williams and Maine St. will soon provide a green belt for residents and visitors alike. The park will feature shade trees, benches, walkways, grassy areas and the new City Clock Tower. The park will also offer some parking and will be a welcome rest stop for travelers and a great place for those working downtown to have lunch.

The new Venturacci Park will be built on land donated by the venerable Venturacci Family near Northside Elementary School. It will feature an amphitheater, skate board park, and basketball and tennis courts. The planned amenities in the park are sure to be a hit with the kids.

Laura Mills Park provides over nine acres of shaded green grass comfort. It features a beautiful new white gazebo, playground equipment, picnic tables, and two walking paths.

Oats Park provides another nine acres of grassy open area. The park also features a ball field, open air public swimming pool, picnic pavilion, and playground equipment. Oats Park is also the site of an historic restoration project. The Old Oats Park school is being adapted for re-use as an arts center that will feature a 300-seat theater, exhibit space, and office areas for the Churchill Arts Council and the surrounding community.

The three other city parks provide immediate relief for surrounding neighborhoods. The City's parks system will be expanding in the near future with another eight acre site on the north side of town.

Liberty Park. The Churchill County/University Research Park & Fishing Pond, nicknamed "Liberty Park" by the United States Navy Seabees from NAS Fallon who helped construct it, officially opened on Monday, May 4, 1998. The park is located just west of the Fairgrounds at 2323 Schurz Hwy (U.S. Hwy 95 south).

The park offers fishing from dawn to dusk. Nevada fishing regulations apply. Persons 12 years old and under do not need a fishing license while everyone over 13
does need a license. The limit is five fish per person. The park is equipped with public restrooms.
