The best dog friendly neighborhoods
in Garden City

Gerritsen Beach

If you're in the vicinity of Garden City and want to take your pup somewhere he can play and cool off in the heat of the day, the Dog-Friendly Beach on Gerritsen Avenue is the pawfect place for you! This beach is located approximately 25 miles from Garden City in the Gerritsen Beach neighborhood. Dog-friendly, off-leash beaches are really hard to find, so you'll want to make a beeline for this furrific spot! Locals note that the beach is not very well-maintained, but it’s good enough for your four-legged friend to have a blast! Make sure you bring some water and poop bags with you.

North Melville

If you're feeling a little bit more adventurous and want to take a long walk with your dog rather than play in an enclosed space, then the Walt Whitman Trail is the perfect choice. The trailhead is around 14 miles away from Garden City, in North Melville. This hike is pretty easy and not that long, about 4.25 miles. The terrain is flat, which makes it the perfect place for walkies! The entire trail will take around 2 hours to finish. Your pooch has to be leashed on this hike. You should also make sure that you have enough water and poop bags with you.

Gramercy Park

Gramercy Park is a quiet, affluent neighborhood of Manhattan. But your pooch won't care about how much money its residents make -- he'll make a beeline straight for Stuyvesant Park Dog Run! The park is located about 27 miles from Garden City. The dog run is very shaded, perfect for chilling out when the weather is hot. There are a lot of benches where owners can sit and watch over their doggos. Inside the park, but outside of the dog run, you'll find a special water fountain designed just for doggies. You'll need to bring your own poop bags.

Sands Point

Around 12 miles north of Garden City is another place that you can visit for some pawesome one-on-one time with your pooch: Sands Point Preserve. This preserve is located in the village of Sands Point and has a furrific hike that you can enjoy along with your leashed pup. There is an entry fee to get into this large, well-maintained preserve. Keep in mind that dogs are not allowed on the beach at all, but your furry friend won't mind once he sees the castle located here! Please use the doggie waste stations to keep this wonderful spot clean for everyone. This spot provides a perfect escape from the noises of the big city!

Westbury

Eisenhower Dog Park is the nearest dog park to Garden City, located just 5 miles away in Westbury. This park features a separate area for small dogs and another area for large dogs. These areas have separate entrances for the maximum comfort of your pup. The park provides water and disposable bags for cleaning up. There's also plenty of shade and benches for the human visitors, as well as off-street parking. The park has more than enough room for your pup to exercise and socialize with other pooches. The ground is a mix of grass and dirt, which locals say can get muddy when it rains, so plan accordingly if you're visiting on a rainy day.
