   The Sam Combs Dog Park is a great place to take Fido out for a fun day off-leash. The park is fenced in and has a separate area for smaller dogs so they can play with dogs their own size. The park has plenty of shade, plus doggie water fountains and benches for owners to relax on. The park features areas of grass and dirt, so be prepared that your dog may get a little dirty after his visit here. Locals love how there are always tennis balls available for fetch, but warn that you need to bring your own clean-up bags since the park doesn’t provide any.

   The Summerfield Park has a small dog park that you and your dog can enjoy. The dog park has two sections, one for large dogs and one for small, and both are securely fenced in. The large dog area has a lot of room for fetch, and both areas offer picnic tables to relax at and water fountains for your dog. After the dog park, the two of you can still enjoy Summerfield Park which has picnic tables, basketball courts and soccer fields. Just remember your dog needs to stay on leash while enjoying the areas outside the dog park.

   The Clarksburg Branch Line Trail is a pawsome trail to hike with your dog. The trail is 3.2-miles long and is a mixture of asphalt and crushed stone. The trail is a loop style, meaning you will walk in a circle to complete the trail. Lined with trees to help keep you and your dog shaded while you hike, the trail is often populated with walkers and bike riders. Since the trail is so popular with locals, the city is planning on extending it to 9.8-miles and paving more of the path. Make sure to bring water and clean-up bags for your dog while hiking the trail.

   Less than twenty minutes out of West Sacramento is the town of Natomas, home to the Bannon Creek Dog Park. This dog park includes a doggie water fountain, benches for owners to watch their pups play, waste stations, and plenty of room to run and frolic with new friends. The park is a mixture of dirt and grass, so your dog may need a bath after visiting. Locals say the park can be hard to find, so make sure to look up directions before heading out. Once you’re done at the park, head to the the Sandwich Shop and grab a good sub to enjoy with your dog. They have an outdoor patio that welcomes your dog to join you while you eat.
