Truitt Bark Park with your dog
Brooks Truitt Park is a compact 0.91-acre Midtown park with separate fenced areas for large and small dogs. The City lists lighting, shade trees, dog drinking fountains and its distinctive public “BARK” sculpture—useful features for a central-city play stop.
Pick the right fenced area
The official park page lists a 0.23-acre large-dog area and a 0.12-acre small-dog area. Sacramento says its city dog parks use a double-gate system and allow off-leash play only inside the designated fence. Leash up before entering and again before leaving.

Know the layout before you arrive
The City master plan places the two dog areas between 19th Street and Q Street, alongside a public plaza and community garden. It identifies double-entry gates, benches, seating, bike racks, shade, low-water landscaping, decomposed-granite paving, lighting and the “BARK” sculpture. The park directory says there is no bathroom.
Follow Sacramento's dog-park rules
Dogs need a current license displayed on the collar. Clean up waste, remove an aggressive or unruly dog immediately, and keep at least one handler for every two dogs. Children under 14 must have an adult with them, and female dogs in season are not allowed.
Address and practical planning
Use 1818 Q Street, Sacramento, CA. This is an urban neighborhood park rather than a large regional outing, so plan for a shorter play session and follow current curb, parking and posted access signs.
