Dog Areas in West Islip
West Islip is a hamlet in the town of Islip on Long Island. The area has had
quite a diverse past. Originally settled by the Secatogue people, the area was
later under Dutch, and then English rule, before being purchased by Thomas and
William Willetts. Ukranian settlers, seeking relief from political repression
and economic hardship, came in the early 20th century, and their heritage is
still present in the community. This quiet community also supports its furry friends
with three veterinarians and clinics ready to respond when Fido is not feeling
well.
Visit the Gardiner County Park, a great place to bask in the natural
beauty while your pup enjoys his leashed walk on the mile-long path
from the parking lot to the beach. Although Gardiner is not a dog park, most of
its visitors are people walking their dogs. There’s a superb view of the Robert
Moses bridge that is particularly striking at sunset. The park offers a public
water spout for dogs to drink from, or for you to wash off the sand.
When hunger calls, head to the Cafe Europa. This pawsome eatery welcomes pups at their outdoor tables whenever the weather is nice. Enjoy your time in West Islip where the water and land meet in beautiful places.
