Bicentennial Sculpture Park

The Arts & Culture Commission partnered with the Rotary Club of Reno to create the sculpture park at Bicentennial Park and started planning in 2014. On November 4, 2016 the City dedicated the Reno Rotary Bicentennial Park (located on the southeast corner of First and Ralston Streets along the Truckee River) which houses four freestanding pedestals and two at grade footings to hold sculpture installations along the river for the enjoyment of visitors to the river corridor. The initial installation of sculptures in the park were temporary. In 2018 and 2020, the City of Reno purchased 6 sculptures for permanent installation in the park.

The permanent sculptures include (as pictured above clockwise from upper left) "Legend" by artist Nathan Pierce, "Rhinoman" by artist Carolyn Guerra, "Circles" by artist CJ Rench, "Iron Horse" by artist Pierre Riche, "Daring Young Man on a Trapeze" by artist Ric Blackerby, and "Dual Nature" by artist Cecilia Lueza. These sculptures join the Charles Ginnever sculpture, "Gallop-a-pace," which is located in the planter along the riverwalk and "Portal of Evolution" by artist Brian Tedrick on the east side of the park.
