Sonoma Dog Park in Carson City is a fantastic place for pups and their people! I've stopped by a few times, even after hours (don't tell anyone!), and I'm always impressed by the size and quality of the park. It's easily the largest dog park and open field area I've seen in Carson City, giving dogs plenty of room to run and play. I also appreciate the separate, enclosed kids' playground – it's a great feature for families with children of different ages. My dog, Rosy, is absolutely going to love this place. I'm looking forward to bringing her back during regular hours so she can socialize and get her sniffs in! It's a wonderful community asset, and I highly recommend it to any dog owner in the area.

Great place to throw the ball for the puppies. There’s a beautiful walkway with a creek that runs in between it. Beautiful park. There’s a place for kids to play and there are picnic benches.
