History

Sutter’s Landing Dog Park, Sacramento, California, offers a unique space for dog owners to socialize their pets within the Yolo Bypass.

Located at 20 28th St., Sacramento, CA 94256, this dog park has a fascinating history interwoven with the Sacramento River's significance to California.

Established through collaborative research involving agencies, conservation groups, and landowners, the park’s creation stems from ongoing studies of rice fields and juvenile Chinook salmon.

The Yolo Bypass, a vital habitat area, forms the backdrop for this dog-friendly space.

Interestingly, the park’s origins are linked to significant historical events.

It draws upon the legacy of the gold rush, the displacement of Native American populations, and the Sacramento River’s crucial role in shaping California’s landscape and economy.

The river’s impressive water flow—22 million acre-feet per year, reaching a peak of 650,000 cubic feet per second during rainy seasons—contributes to the area’s unique characteristics.

This substantial flow is harnessed to irrigate approximately 750,000 acres in the San Joaquin Valley through a network of pumping stations.
