Valley Oak Dog Park

North Natomas Regional Dog Park has two acres of completely enclosed off-leash space for dogs over 25 pounds and a half-acre of fully fenced off-leash space for small or timid canines. Waste stations, water bowls, and a few of benches are also available.

This two-acre fully-fenced dog park also contains water spigots, shade trees, benches, and grass, giving dogs plenty of freedom to run.

Bannon Creek Dog Park in Sacramento, California, is a well-kept dog park with plenty of off-leash fun. A doggy water fountain, shaded spaces, seats, and garbage stations are among the park's features.

Rails-to-Trails Conservancy, a nonprofit organization working to establish a nationwide network of trails from former rail lines and linking corridors, supports the Sacramento Northern Bike Trail, which is one of 1600 rail-trails supported by the group. This "rail-trail," which was once an abandoned railroad line, is now a terrific spot to walk Petzooie in Sacramento! A parking lot with easy access to the Sacramento Northern Bike Trail is shown on the map below.

The California State Railroad Museum does not allow dogs inside, but Petzooie can accompany you on the paved track and assist you in exploring the vintage locomotives outside. They are open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day of the week.

Enjoy a stroll with your dog past historic buildings, stores, the railway station, and the Sacramento River. There are a few quick food establishments with outside tables as well.
