   #1 New Brunswick

   The New Brunswick neighborhood of New Brunswick is home to one of the largest and most exciting parks in the city. The 78 acre Buccleuch Park is home to a number of different sports facilities, a playground, a rock garden, picnic areas and a walking trail that stretches out for one and a half miles. For pooches who love nature, a visit to the flower garden is a must, because not only will you see so many gorgeous flowers here, but also an incredible number of pollinators, from hummingbirds to butterflies. Buccleuch Park is also the site of a former Colonial Estate, known as Buccleuch Mansion, which has recently been restored. While your pup will not be allowed on tours within the house, the two of you can still explore its historic grounds.

   There are a couple of parks in the Upper Diamond neighborhood that your pooch will absolutely love. The first is Feaster Park, where you will find a few sports facilities and a play area. The rest of the park features a mix of grassy lawns interspersed with trees, providing Fido with plenty of exciting smells to get that tail wagging. Just a few blocks away from here is the Joyce Kilmer Park, which is home to similar facilities as Feaster Park, but with smaller green areas for your pooch to explore. Dogs are welcome in both of these parks, but do need to be kept on a lead at all times.
