Dog walking in Manhasset

Manhasset Town Center

The town center neighborhood of Manhasset is certainly a pretty one, and with large groups of trees and scattered bodies of water, residents enjoy these scenic views. Whitney Pond Park is the perfect place to get some of these views, with a large lake surrounded by trees and open green fields surrounding the southern part of the lake. There are concrete walkways for exploring, tennis courts, water fountains, and benches available for humans and leashed pups. Manhasset Valley Park is right across the street, and has plenty of land for walking, with 1.2 miles of paved trails that wind through the forested parts of the park. Dogs must remain on a leash, with additional features like benches, water fountains, restrooms, and open space.

Strathmore

The Strathmore neighborhood is on the east side of town and is pretty quiet throughout the year. The Shelter Rock Verdant park is also pretty serene and can create a puptastic place to walk Fido, especially thanks to the paved paths and large open spaces around the park. Don't forget to keep Fido on a leash and bring water and clean-up bags before heading here. The Patriots' Park is right up the street, and has a perimeter paved walkway around the park, green space, benches, and water fountains for visitors. Dogs are welcome inside the park, but need to remain on a leash inside the park.

Thomaston

Thomaston is the western neighbor of Manhasset only one mile away, and provides a lot for the many dog-lovers that head out of town. One popular spot for dog walkers is Allenwood Park, a 30-acre park with towering oak trees that shade the sitting areas and paved trails, large grassy fields, and enclosed recreational fields like tennis courts and basketball courts. The park is open to dogs, although they have to remain on a leash, and can enjoy additional features in the park like water fountains, clean-up stations, benches, trash bins, and nighttime lights during the parks hours of sunrise to sunset.Keep reading
