Hello all,
I moved back here about a year ago and recently added a boxer to my family. We love to go rollerblading together but so far have only gone around the 'hood. I'm looking for dog friendly parks, not dog park, where we could go and where the asphalt isn't all beat up and in bad need of resurfacing, like it was at Carmichael park. Hiking spots would also be appreciated.

I've looked online at the parks webpages but they don't give much information about rollerblading so I was hoping for some personal experiences.

Also, is there some kind of cabaret scene here with live shows, I seem to find out about all the cool stuff after it's happened and yes I do pick up the N&R.

Thanks in advance all
