Hidden treasure: A piece of military history lies at the bottom of the Sparks Marina Reno-Gazette-Journal 12 hrs ago Amy Alonzo, Reno Gazette Journal
Lurking below the Sparks Marina lake’s surface is a twin-engine F-4 Phantom, the first – and only – item deposited at the bottom of the lake for what was once proposed to be a regional dive park.
In 2000, then-Parks and Recreation Director Stan Sherer told the Reno Gazette Journal, “We re trying to create an underwater park in addition to what s above ground to give divers a destination site when they re puttering around down there.”
But talks of submerging other items, including a school bus, a sailboat and a railcar, never materialized, and “there is no intention to make it more of a dive area,” said Sparks Parks and Recreation Acting Director Tony Pehle.
