Manhattan

The Manhattan neighborhood is home to the Manhattan Park District, a great place to take Fido for a fun day out at the park. The park offers tons of amenities like a playground, splash pad, a covered pavilion with picnic tables, and a wide-open grass field. Be aware that the park is home to a lot of local events and youth programs, so be sure to check the schedule if your pup is nervous around crowds. Although the park is covered with tons of trees, make sure to bring water for Fido and some clean-up bags as well. If the Manhattan Park District is too busy for your liking, then take a walk over to Central Park. It’s smaller then Manhattan Park District, but still offers a great walking path and grass for your dog to roll on.
