    We love this park. It's almost a second home. My wife is a huge little dog champion! I like the bigger ones. Sonoma park could be classified as an official "dog park" even thou the folks who know best tell me it's delegated as just a general park and playground. I notice they have bag stations and I'm told have changed the park face over the last few years. The neighbors I spoke with say the dogs are constantly running crazy in the playground area. I honestly, have never seen this. From my viewpoint, it is an enormous grassy park where a couple dozen dogs can run freely with no problems. We like to try and identify all the different breeds and watch how they interact with each other. The park also has a decent sized playground area that always has plenty of children. Be nice if I had some of these structures to play on when I was a kid. The park is right on Sonoma merely a few blocks east of S. Carson St. If you are traveling 580 from Reno, it's just south of the Fairview exit. Be sure to bring Fido. He's gonna love it!!!

    Great fenced in open space with grass for dogs to enjoy. The playground is fenced in to keep the children separate from the dogs.

    Very large dog park. At least a city block. It has a dog water fountain but it's not always turned on. All grass

    Sonoma is a very nice park with a little kid playground as well. We often come here to relax, read a book, eat our sandwiches.

    It's a nice park, but it's in an HOA community. I've seen people get kicked out of it before…read morebecause they didn't live there. I don't know what the laws are about that. Otherwise it's a very nice park with good play equipment for kids of all ages. (not a wheelchair access accessible playground)

    Google maps shows this park as "Spooner/Oxbow Park", but don't let that fool you it's true name and…read moreit's history, is much more mysterious. According to the historical marker placed at this site, "In 1902 Marion Jefferson Blackwell purchased 360 acres from the State of Nevada, 556 acres of adjoining land from Sweeney's Hot Springs and a lot with a house. He raised carp and catfish to sell commercially also hay and horses. Neighbors used the ponds for swimming and ice skating. Born 1847, in Hall County, Georgia he married Nancy Amna Mayes in 1866. While living in Jamestown, California his wife died. He then moved the family to the Carson Valley near Genoa in 1895. He married Martha "Mattie" H. Willey in Yerington in 1899, then moved to Eagle Valley in 1902. He resided here till his death in 1914. His descendants continue to live in the area." Besides its rich history, the park is a small neighborhood park with a covered picnic area, a small playground, and a--I want to say walking path but it's not because it literally goes no where into the grass (srsly why is this here?), so we'll just say--some concrete. Although it's now just mostly a manicured lawn, there are still remnants of the pond in the form of two sloughs that flank the park. Cattails and blackbirds abound! Be careful where you step here, because it's difficult to discern where the ground and water meet. Also, apparently someone was murdered here in 2016 over a drug deal done awry. So, maybe avoid the place at night.
