I have a question regarding this sentence:

> かのじょといっしょにこうえん **を** さんぽします。

If the "を" marks a direct object of a sentance, why we use it the way it looks
above.

Could we use here "に" instead of "を"?

Where? >>> In the park. >>> Park is a place

> かのじょといっしょにこうえん **に** さんぽします。

  

Second question here is... why there is no particle after "さんぽ".

This word works here as a noun or something else?

If it is noun the sentence should go like this:

> かのじょといっしょにこうえん **に** さんぽ **を** します。

Take/do what? >>> A walk = direct object.

Thank you very much in advance.

question
grammar particles verbs nouns
Why we should use "を" instead of "に" when talking about a place?
Function of particle を is not only to indicate object for transitive verb but
also to indicate **location where moving action goes through** for the verbs
which have meaning of moving.

散歩【さんぽ】する is intransitive verb so that 公園【こうえん】を is apparently not object for
さんぽする.

Below verbs belong to this category.

> 歩【ある】く 行【い】く 走【はし】る 進【すす】む 渡【わた】る 通【とお】る 越【こ】える 過【す】ぎる 泳【およ】ぐ 潜【くぐ】る 飛【と】ぶ
> 転【ころ】がる 横切【よこぎ】る 曲【ま】がる 登【のぼ】る 降【お】りる 上【あ】がる 下【くだ】る 下【お】りる 下【さ】がる 動【うご】く
> 移動【いどう】する・・・

散歩【さんぽ】する is certainly one of them. Principally above verbs are intransitive
so that location+を should not be considered as object.

So, your first question of こうえんをさんぽします is correct sentence with indicating
こうえんを as location for walking around.

As far as こうえんにさんぽします is concerned, because に for **location indicates target
point or point where action gives effect** , に doesn't match with さんぽ. In this
case, particle で for **location where action is done** is suitable.

About second question, I would like to introduce you する-verb system at first.
Some nouns can be directly attached verb する without を so that it becomes one
word verb like さんぽ＋する＝さんぽする. It is authentic verb vocabulary like たべる or あるく.
You don't need to suppose it as omitted/abbreviated phrase without を.

But please be careful that not all the nouns can be treated like this. Only
nouns contain meaning of action and have been accepted by natives are vital
points.

Now, you have two options to express it, さんぽする and さんぽをする. You are free to use
whichever you like.

If you want to mention the place for さんぽ, you can use こうえんを or こうえんで,
connotation of former is walking around on the place and latter to walk around
inside of.

If you would choose こうえんを, you had better avoid さんぽをする. Double use of を will
probably make listener annoyed.
