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.

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 tucked away in a corner of a gas station and dance studio. It was a grate walk our dog…read moreloved it too. We stopped and read all the signs that where readable.

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.

If you're in the Buena Vista Garden subdivision, just a block from fifth Street, you'll find this…read moresmall park surrounded by residential homes. 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.

Cool trail I found just above the main town square of Sonoma. Like less than a half mile going…read moretowards the hills. I actually found where to park from now on if trying to roam this touristy part of town, instead of trying to find a space near the park and all the retail businesses. Much more room back there without the traffic due to parking sharks stalling traffic. This is pretty much an up and back so not a loop. It goes about a little over a mile up in a gradual fashion about 600 feet in elevation gain. Nothing strenuous but will get your cardio revving. About 50/50 shade/sun ratio but once up top it is all exposed. Up top there is a great view of the valley below. It is worth the trek. Went on a Sunday afternoon and it was pretty popular. Probably saw over 30 peeps either coming or going. I bet it is much more relaxed on the weekdays, which will be my next op. Trust. Great workout, picturesque views, clean air, and lots of entertainment just minutes below this trailhead. So glad I found this, only took me 20 years of visiting this town to find it. As they say 'better late than never'.

Instead of entering the trailhead parking entrance, I entered through the sleek veterans memorial and entered the meandering cemetery way. The more higher one got, the more historical it got. Follow the arrows to continue to the trailhead. No I returned where the arrows lead you back and then continued up and right. What another beautiful hike and view passing even older markers. I enjoyed this part the best. I will definitely want to visit and admire the history of it's families, again.

Benches are nice to relax on, cool bell and there is a trail for walkers and runners! It's not a "completely" off-leash dog park, so our goldendoodle had to be kept on a leash in case he wandered off too far. 3/5 stars. *Song Credit: One Good Friend by Rizensun
