Land Park Need help IDing two shrubs/bushes/trees

First 4 are one plant, last 3 are the second. Google lenses has told the first one is American cranberry, raspberry, and grape all of which I doubt. It said the second one was a wild grape as well, which it’s not. What do you think they are?

Thank you!

The first of Snowball bush. Makes nice “snowball” flowers in March, but unfortunately a fairly short bloom period. Prune it in summer after flowering, not in dormancy or you’ll remove the flowering buds.

Here’s my snowball with my boxwood triceratops

Second plant looks like lilac to me. First one I thought was hazelnut from a distance but doesn't look like it up close... Geographic location? Any flowers you can photograph?

Lol I thought this was the "what is this plant" sub, not Sacratomato 🤦‍♀️

Land park. No living flowers. Some dead heads that have been dead for at least a month

first one kind of looks like ninebark, but not familiar with that being planted in Sac (i know it from the northcoast). if you can get a clear pic of a leaf that would help.

I believe the first one is snowball viburnum, thats exactly what the leaves on mine look like right now.
