Pet-Friendly & Picture-Perfect: Long Island’s Best Dog Parks and Trails

When you’re house hunting on Long Island, it’s not just about square footage and school districts — it’s about making sure your real best friend (the one with four paws 🐶) is living their best life too.

That’s why we’ve rounded up Long Island’s best dog parks and trails where your pup can run, sniff, and socialize while you enjoy some fresh air and gorgeous views. Because let’s face it — a happy dog = a happy home.

🌳 1. Eisenhower Park Dog Run (East Meadow)

A Nassau County classic, Eisenhower Park isn’t just for golf and concerts — it’s also a pup paradise. With separate sections for big and small dogs, shaded benches, and plenty of room to play fetch, this is the ultimate weekend stop.

🌊 2. Wantagh Park Dog Run (Wantagh)

Located right by the marina, this hidden gem is a favorite for locals and their pups. The fenced-in dog run gives your dog plenty of safe space to zoom, while the surrounding park offers waterfront paths that are perfect for a leashed stroll after playtime.

🐾 3. Christopher Morley Park Dog Run (Roslyn-North Hills)

Perfect for North Shore pups, this well-maintained run is fenced in, shady, and social. Your dog gets playtime, and you get to mingle with fellow dog lovers. Win-win.

🏖️ 4. Gardiner County Park (Bay Shore)

Want a beach day without leaving your pup behind? Gardiner is one of Long Island’s most dog-friendly waterfront parks. Stroll the trails, take in bay views, and let your pup sniff every grain of sand along the way.

🌲 5. Belmont Lake State Park (North Babylon)

This is trail heaven — leashed dogs are welcome on the winding pathways that circle the lake and through the wooded areas. Perfect for a long weekend walk to tire out even the most energetic pups.
