   #1 Sand Shore Rd

   Some of the finest parks in Budd Lake lie in the Sand Shore Road neighborhood, which is why this area is so popular with dog owners. Camelot Park is a large and spacious passive park, and while there may not be any facilities here, this is still a gorgeous patch of woodland for a walk with Fido. Not too far away from here is the Lou Nelson Park, where you will find tennis courts, a playground, picnic benches, and open grassy areas for your pooch to sniff about in. If your pup prefers sand to grass, the Budd Lake Municipal Beach is also in this neighborhood. This small stretch of sand is open to the public in the summer months, although you will need to keep your dog on a lead at all times.
