This is a pretty cool dog park for smaller dogs. The park is easy to get in/out of. It’s just a short walking distance from the street.
Read more about Glenbrook Small Dog ParkI recently visited William Land Regional Park, also known as the Lily Pond, and it truly is a hidden oasis in Sacramento. Having been to Sacramento hundreds of times, this was my first visit—and I’m so glad I finally came. The park offers plenty of free parking and beautiful, peaceful walking paths surrounded by stunning lotus flowers in full bloom. The friendly ducks wandering the grassy areas add a charming touch to the serene environment. Whether you want a relaxing stroll, a quiet moment in nature, or just a peaceful place to unwind, this park is perfect. It’s a wonderful spot for locals and visitors alike to enjoy some calm away from the city buzz. If you haven’t been, I highly recommend stopping by to experience this lovely natural retreat!
Read more about William Land Regional ParkI used to go to this park 40+years ago as a child to swim and play at the park. Such an awesome trip down memory lane. The pool was amazing and it had a fun vibe and atmosphere. The playground has a different set up, geared more towards safety which is nice. The pond and surrounding area has nice places to sit and relax watch the geese in the sun and out the sun. Nice bathrooms as well.
