Puppies can become overwhelmed by all the attention and intimated by larger dogs. Do not bring your pet if ill. Be aware of the opening and closing times of each park. I have met some great people and dogs here. The play area is adequate but gets muddy in the winter.
Water is available.
Santa Rosa Rincon Valley Park Montecito Blvd., near Calistoga Road. This park has a pond for dogs to splash around in. Volunteers are needed to keep the pond clean. Road New fencing is up to keep dogs away from the Fly Fishing pond. It's an adequate space, and has a water supply.
