Discovery Park is an excellent example of repurposing an abandoned piece of property to benefit both a local community and seasonal visitors. The land was developed as a golf course in 1976. The course closed in 2008 and the land was bought by Great Basin Water District in 2010. Many organizations and individuals pitched in to cut down dead trees, plant new trees, run irrigation lines and exterminate invasive species. The golf cart paths make a nice paved walking trail that loops through the park.
The access point to the trail is a dirt path with a zigzag entrance which may be a little tight for large wheelchairs. The paved path is in fairly good shape but some sections are a little rough.
The main parking area is large enough for RVs but class As will need to be parked parallel to the road.

When I see those photos I don't think of Nevada. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLots of irrigation! ;-D
DeleteLooks like a nice place to visit. Wonder how long the trails are?
ReplyDeleteAbout three miles if you go on all of the paved paths.
