Elko City Park ~ Elko, Nevada - Municipal Parks and Plazas on Waymarking.com

This nice park is appropriately sized to the community it serves. It has the requisite ballfield, children's play structures, and lots of grass for just relaxing and having an old-fashioned picnic. There are a number of monuments and veterans memorials, a statue of a Basque shepherd representing the Basque heritage of many locals, and a California Trail Marker with several interpretive panels.

The park also has several unique features not typically found at most city parks. On the southwest corner of the Park is a reconstruction of Sherman Station, an important service point on the Old West stage line through the area. The main building of the Station houses a small museum and the Chamber of Commerce Visitors Information Center. At the southeast corner of the Park stands the Northeastern Nevada Museum, a must see for anyone interested in the natural and cultural history of the Elko region.
