Schulz Ranch Park, Carson City’s newest, holds ribbon cutting on Wednesday

Carson City’s newest park is officially opening Wednesday.

A ribbon cutting on the Schulz Ranch Park, the first new park in 12 years, is being held at 5:30 p.m. Following the ribbon cutting a movie, “Hotel Transylvania” will be shown starting at 6 p.m.

This 3.5-acre park is the second universally-accessible playground in Carson City. Other amenities include a basketball court, restroom, multi-use path, picnic pavilion, landscaping, and a large multipurpose turf area that also serves as a water quality basin. The park was built by Lennar Homes, the subdivision’s builder, for $1.4 million.

Schulz Ranch Park is located at the corner of Race Track Road and Wheeler Peak Drive.
