Southwest Community Park

Bring your dog to this enclosed Santa Rosa dog park with a grassy lawn and drinking water to play off-leash.

The West County & Rodota Trails are part of a countrywide network of 1600 rail-trails maintained by the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy, a nonprofit organization working to establish a nationwide network of trails from old rail lines and connecting corridors. This "rail-trail," which was once an abandoned railroad line, is now a terrific spot to walk Petzooie in Santa Rosa! A parking lot with easy access to the West County and Rodota Trails is shown on the map below.

On West Steele Lane, dogs are allowed to play off-leash in a specified area of the park.

Franklin Park welcomes dogs! Along with their human friends, leashed dogs are permitted to explore the almost fourteen-acre park. The Park today has barbecues, picnic tables, sporting fields, a clubhouse, parking, a playground, and restrooms, and was once the site of a defunct sawmill. From sunrise to dusk, Franklin Park is available to the public.

This enclosed dog park features grassy and wood chipped sections, as well as drinking water and picnic tables, where pets can run and play off-leash.

Camping, fishing, picnic spots with grills, and five group picnic areas are all available at this 320-acre park. Walking, hiking, bicycling, and equestrian riding are all possible on the trails. A par course, a 3-acre swimming lagoon, and a 72-acre lake are all part of the park. Dogs must be on a leash that is no longer than 6 feet long. It is necessary to have a license. Dogs are permitted on the grassy area surrounding the swimming lagoon, but not on the sand or beach.
