Edison Field

If your pooch enjoys long walks, the Edison Field neighborhood will definitely go down well. This is where you will find the Clinton River Park, featuring a spacious and peaceful wooded area, along with a playground and picnic areas. In addition to the paved pathways that meander througho the park, you will also find a longer, 4.5 mile, trail here, known as the Clinton River Park Trail, which showcases some of the diverse plant and animal life that live within the park. Connecting on to this park is Dodge Park, where you will find even more recreational activities available, from sports to play areas, and even an amphitheater. 

Pines of Moravian

Pines of Moravian is quite a tranquil neighborhood, and is home to the Freedom Hill County Park. This large park stretches out for 100 acres, and boasts an outdoor amphitheater, covered pavilions, a playground and a nature trail. You will also be able to access the Freedom Trail, also known as the Metro Parkway Trail, from this park, and this trail extends out for just under 11 miles. A few minutes walk from the park will lead you to the Mark Sawyers Family Park, where you will find sports facilities, play areas and a paved walking path. Dogs are welcome in both parks, but do need to be kept on a lead. 

Troy

If you are looking for a shorter dog walk, there are a few smaller parks in Troy that are pawfect for this. Hampton Park is the largest, and is home to sports fields, a basketball court, picnic areas, sledding hills, a playground, and nature and hiking trails, giving you and Fido plenty to explore. Carpathia Park is also worth a visit, with its sports courts, playground and nature trail, while Fairfield Park boasts similar facilities, except with a much larger playground. Dogs are allowed to use all of these parks, but a lead, doggie bags and drinking water for Fido are essential. 

Ferrini

Ferrini is quite a quiet neighborhood, meaning that the parks you find within it are peaceful and relaxing. Begin at Arlingdale Park, which sprawls out for 8.7 acres. This park contains a few sports facilities, a playground, multiple picnic areas, and a nature trail that showcases some of the park's diverse vegetation. The 6.4 acre Franklin Park is also in this neighborhood, and offers up a playground, basketball and tennis courts, and a paved walking path. Since both of these are neighborhood parks, you will need to keep your pooch on a lead at all times, and don't forget to bring some doggie bags and drinking water with you too.
