The best dog friendly neighborhoods in Schenectady
48
Shepherd North Side
Steinmetz Park in Shepherd North Side is a local gathering place. The park does have a small playground with climbing equipment for children, but the main draw is the open space. Let your leashed dog follow his nose to every corner of this park for a real walkabout. If your dog hates crowds, head a little deeper into Shepherd North Side to find Kailberg Park. This simple park is all open space, and it’s a much smaller--and less popular--park in the area. Kailberg Park lacks the amenities of Steinmetz, so be sure to bring your own supplies if you’re planning to spend the afternoon.
