Sonoma city plays a lot of live music here and the plaza is well maintained. Ambiance is warm and a pleasure to simply be here. It's a great pitstop if one is wanting to eat and get a taste of the wine country life, leisurely stroll and explore a historical city in wine country all the while spending time with family and friends! How to put it - it's easy going in this plaza and taking in the culture of Sonoma!

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.

They have a large fenced-in play area with lots of picnic benches, chairs and water provided! Although there weren't other dogs that day, Midnight still had a lot of fun running unleashed, back and forth to mommy and daddy!

I would recommend visiting this regional park and we'll be returning to explore more!

They have little gumball type machines that you can buy feed to feed the animals for 25 cents. TrainTown has a few other rides as well, including a toddler-friendly roller coaster! There's also a boat ride that spins and goes from side to side, a carousel, a merry go round, a ferris wheel, and others. Parking was easy to find even though the lot isn't huge. This was surprising to us as we went on a clear Saturday in February.

I like this place because they do not have an entry ticket and you can pay per ride. The train ride is fun and you see waterfalls, real and fake animals, bridges etc. Take some quarters as they are handy if your kid wants to feed the animals (the train driver has change as well) Some rides are scarier than they look, so make sure you check before sending your kid. They have kids running the rides and they do a good job - sometimes there aren't enough operators and you have to wait. There isn't a lot of food options there so take snacks if you need them!

This is the cutest playground! One of the best we've been to recently…read more Getting there and finding it was interesting. I am not from the area. It's kind of hidden and tucked away next to a middle or elementary school. There's a small parking lot and a bathroom too. What sets this playground apart from others is - it makes me think of Disneyland! The way the structures were made, so fun, colorful and bright! Lots of interactive and sensory opportunities here too, including the instruments, shaded sand pits and more. I love how much shade there is. All parks should have this, but sadly they don't. Most of the area is gated. However, for the older kids, the gate was open to a busy street.. I didn't like that. There were also a lot of spider webs. I wonder if there's any regularly scheduled maintenance done here. If there isn't, that's something worth looking into. Other than that - 10 out of 10 great park!

It's a beautiful hike filled with dense forest and streams. It's a fairly easy hike, well kept, with stairs at most of the steep paths, very narrow at spots and a lot of poison oak/Ivy off the sides of the path. Located on the Bartholomew Winery, a private park with hours from 10:00 AM to 4:30 PM when the main gate gets locked (big sign). There is plenty of free parking. My friend and I walked the trail around 1:30 PM. on a Wednesday. We only saw one other hiker the whole time, so nice, so peaceful, we had the whole forest to ourselves. LOL there was a warning sign for Mountain Lions, we did not see or hear anything, only the birds and the stream. I would definitely recommend this trail and I would come back to walk it again.

I think my favorite part about this park is the tall redwood trees and the rose garden. Such a nice touch. The playground itself is nice. There's one for toddlers and another for older kids. The one for big kids was slightly dirty and run down. It also had a lot of spider webs. I also wish the playground had an enclosed gate but there are two huge openings. There's a lot of picnic tables, bbq pits, a bathroom and trash cans around. Plenty of shade for those hot summer days and parking in the residential neighborhood as well. I think they can do a better job at keeping the area clean -- that' was my biggest ick.

I love that the playground is surrounded by a low fence with limited access which makes it harder for little ones to wander off or for strangers to approach. I had an enjoyable visit at this block-sized park. Plenty of space to move around and not have to rub shoulders with others. Street parking is available along the perimeter.
