We spotted some sport courts, a museum with old trains, big trees that look like hands, a playground and a really nice bike path! There was even a large group of seniors participating in a tai chi class! Our dog enjoyed the walk and we'd definitely love to return to check visit their museum and take our daughter(s) to their playground! I would definitely recommend visiting this park!

Depot Park is a relaxed place. It hosts baseball games, bocce ball, farmer's markets, you name it…read more You can play horseshoes, jog, get away from the hectic activity of the nearby Plaza. It's amazing how this former busy train depot is now a placid park. The depot has been transformed into a cool little museum with creepy mannequins about area history. Depot Park was dilapidated when I first moved to the Wine Country about a decade ago, and luckily it's been cleaned up. It's far more pleasant. It used to be a nasty, sketchy place, but now it's an oasis.

I like Trancas Crossing Park (TCP), but my dog? He REALLY likes it…read more TCP is a nice, small park with a good walking loop that's a little over 1/2 a mile. It is an on-leash park, so don't plan on letting Rover rove. But the loop is flat, paved, and easy. There is some damage (you can see in photos) to the trail, but at this point it has been re-routed so it's an easy walk. The park itself is pleasant to walk through and take in the nature. There are signs around telling you what you're looking at, some historical info, and paths down to the river (including a kayak launch). What I like about this place - you can walk the pooch without the fear of foxtails that Alston creates. It's quiet, and not too busy, so if you have a crazy ass puppy (talking to my dog here), you can walk them without much fanfare. There's clean restrooms, dog waste bags, and even handicapped parking near the loop. A nice, quiet option that's dog friendly? Sign me up. Pro tip: it takes at least six loops to wear out a Labradoodle puppy.

This was especially convenient since we got Starbucks Upon leaving we noticed there was a donation box that goes towards Sonoma Dog Park Association Inc and decided to leave a small donation, every cent helps! I would definitely recommend this dog park ran solely by non-profit volunteers! It's located next to the grand Depot Park and we'll definitely be returning! SYOY! :-) *Song Credit: Walk @iksonmusic

Beautiful park for kids and dogs. There's an open field all around with nicely kept grass. One side…read morethere's a playground for kids and a short walk away is a fenced in area for pups. The walkway towards one entry of the dog park was flooded through during my visit, but there's another entry after crossing a bridge. I loved that the dog park was filled with tanbark so the dogs doesn't get muddy. There wasn't any benches, but there were several mismatched lawn chairs for people to sit. Half the dog park was shaded by trees and the other half was nice and sunny. The fall atmosphere was really pleasant.

As we walked up to the particular park, we saw there was a lot of grass and wide open areas. There…read morewas also a bathroom area and it looked like they had some sort of community center where maybe classes are held? I'm not too sure. But that place was closed on this particular Saturday. As we walked through the park, there was a lot of overgrown grass and weeds, but my puppies liked all the smells! As we walked further back towards the dog park area, there was a great little pond and a little waterfall that sounded whimsical and beautiful except I noticed it was all runoff water! Lol I'm not too sure what that does within the sewer system or maybe it was a clean drain pipe, but it looked a little off to me or dirty? Lol. Nevertheless, my dogs like the area and when we got to the dog park, there were three different entrances. I didn't realize that at the time, and we walked in the entrance closest to us once we crossed the bridge. That was covered with hay, which sadly I'm allergic to, and my throat was closing as we walked towards the back where the Half of the dog park was closed due to mud. Guessing they put hay over the entrance by the front because it was muddy, but goodness! My dogs like the area and they're paused. Did get a little muddy, but they didn't really find any friends although there were a number of different dogs there and cute little community circles! People seem to know each other since this park is in a local neighborhood and I'm sure they walked from the neighborhood. Not sure if we'll go back to this dog park. Maybe when it's not raining, so I don't die from the hay. Lol.

This park is quite lovely with trees everywhere a baseball field 2 playgrounds one for small…read morechildren and one for older children, tennis courts, basketball courts, soccer fields, a picnic area another large field for whatever. This park is great for walking your dog birdwatching having a nice, relaxing lunch, etc. The bathrooms are very rundown, but they're usually somewhat clean and always open. We had our daughter's first birthday here. It is a very nice place for a party, especially since we live so very close by but all the rules the city has now made it very difficult and they keep upping the prices for renting the area so we won't be doing that again but it was worth it at the time and a great time was had by all.

Big signs say, "NO DOGS ON THE FIELD". Dont be that guy and let your dog do a dukie on the field. Actually, don't be that guy and not even pick up after your dog at all. There are tennis courts and when I came, it seemed to look like there was a little dog park happening in the tennis court area? Not sure if that is a regular thing ? It seemed like it was. There are 2 great play structures for your kiddos to romp and play (see my attached pics) I felt very safe with my son on the equipment for the smaller structure. Not many trees or shade here at this park. There are bathrooms but are unclear if they were opened or not ? I know in summer during games they are. Not sure about the off season? There was caution tape around them.

General Vallejo's House is located in Sonoma, CA, in the Sonoma State Historic Park…read more The grounds (including trails) and visitor center was free to walk about. Parking was free as well, they had a nice size parking lot. To view the inside of the house, it's $3. The visitor center was the carriage house nicknamed the Swiss Chalet. It was built in 1852. The timber came from Europe. It's now the museum with history information boards about the General Vallejo and his family. So you may ask, who is General Vallejo? What's the hubbub? Mariano Guadalupe Vallejwas born in Monterey, California, in 1807 as a subject of Spain. He served in the California military which was under Spain. He served as commander of various presidios and establishing them and the controversial workforce. His last command was the Sonoma presidio. The house is furnished and staged as it was in the mid to late 1800s. It was built in 1852, Vallejo lived there until his passing in 1890. The architecture is Victorian Carpenter Gothic. It was prefabricated back East and shipped around Cape Horn (pre railroad). The rooms are viewable through the barred doors. The fireplaces are made of imported marble. The kitchen was another building behind the house. The family cook lived onsite in a room adjoining the kitchen. Behind the kitchen is a body of water, a water reservoir. Back in the day, it was a natural spring. The General sold water to the town and folks by transporting the water in redwood pipes. It proved a steady income. He even tried his hand at winemaking. But suffered severe losses in the 1870s blight and didn't get his winemaking business off the ground. He never fully recovered to his previous economic heyday, living out the rest of his years modestly than before.

The small park has a nice playscape, some benches, picnic tables, grills and a short paved trail that runs along the perimeter. There's no sign on the property denoting the name of the park or if it is a public one. The name only pops up on Google maps. Directly across the street there is a private pool for the residents of the subdivision and a hike and bike trail that runs behind the pool. Informative photos included.
