I love being a pet owner in Sacramento! I had the opportunity on Saturday afternoon to wander with my two dogs through William Land Park. The semi-recent addition of the jogging trail has made our walks just that much better, with a level surface and fewer mud puddles. Fellow Land Park trail users have always been courteous and dog-friendly. Land Park offers great views and plenty of squirrel watching!
One of our other favorite doggy outings is to frequent "Partner Park" in South Land Park. With plenty of space to run and plenty of trees for shade, Partner Park makes a great place for nearby residents to bring their dogs. My two dogs and I enjoy making a couple of laps around the park, introducing ourselves to dogs and owners alike as we walk. There are benches and chairs for owners to sit and watch, plenty of space for throwing a ball or frisbee, a couple of different water stations for the dogs to quench their thirst (or get their paws wet) and garbage cans for...er...garbage.
I also stumbled across the Regency Community dog park on Sunday while playing soccer. I was impressed that the park was divided into two separate sections, one for smaller dogs and one for larger dogs. The park seemed clean and had plenty of visitors during the two hours I was there. Though I don't recall many shade trees, the spaces were plenty large with benches, grass and plenty of pup-friendly amenities.
If you are a dog owner with "social" dogs, I would encourage you to take a look at the many dog parks that Sacramento has to offer!
