Bartley Ranch Regional Park is a great place if you want to enjoy a walk or picnic, relax in the shade, and learn about local history at the Western Heritage Interpretive Center and old Huffaker Schoolhouse. It's a good place for such things as family get-togethers and picnics. You can also enjoy a variety of concerts and events at the Robert Z. Hawkins Amphitheater.

Robert Z. Hawkins Amphitheater at Bartley Ranch

The Robert Z. Hawkins Amphitheater is one of the best outdoor show venues in the Reno area. It is the site of numerous concerts and other activities throughout the year, including presentations by Reno's Artown during July. The facility is built into a hillside and accommodates 403 people seated and about 600 on a grassy slope behind the fixed seats. An excellent stage, lighting, and sound system make attending an event here a real treat. For more information or to reserve the Robert Z. Hawkins Amphitheater, call Bartley Ranch Regional Park at (775) 828-6612.

Historic Huffaker School at Bartley Ranch

The Huffaker Schoolhouse was built in 1867 on land donated by Granville Huffaker, one of our area's original settlers. The school's appearance, with a red roof and painted white, is as it was in the early 1900s. It was moved to its location in Bartley Ranch Regional Park in 1992. The Huffaker Schoolhouse has modern amenities (A/C, lighting, heating, restroom) is available for weddings, meetings, and performances. For information, call the Parks Administration office at (775) 823-6501.
