To retreat from the hustle and bustle of busy city life, check out Greenbelt Park with your dog. This natural area borders the Wildercroft neighborhood, with puptastic trails to go on an adventure. The Perimeter trail is around five miles long, allowing you to explore sniff-tastic oak trees and pine trees, as well as spot some wildlife. As there can be wild animals on the trail that can become easily scared, it is best to keep your pup on his leash. This way everybody can have a pawsome time together and enjoy nature at its finest!
