Sonoma Park
location_onCarson City, NV
Carson City locals treat Sonoma Park as the neighborhood off-leash spot: a five-acre city park at 1003 Sonoma Street with a large fenced grass area where dogs are allowed off leash. A dog drinking station serves the run itself, while the rest of the park adds benches, a picnic pavilion, and a playground, so kids and dogs can burn energy on the same trip. The setting is quiet and residential, a few minutes from downtown in Nevada's high-desert capital, where summer mornings and evenings are the comfortable hours. The fenced area is one shared field rather than separate small- and large-dog yards, so owners of small or shy dogs may want to check who's inside before unclipping. Like the rest of Carson City's parks, it's free.
