   Father Marinaro Park has a little bit of something for everyone. Children can play on the simple playground, which has seperate areas for very young children and then older kids. Sports fans can take a portion of the green grass for football or soccer, and there are tennis courts already set up. The main attraction for most dog walkers would be the walking trail, and it's certainly something special! This path winds through trees and runs the entire length of the park! It's also lighted, so you can use the park for extended hours, up til 10pm. This is great news for those late night puppy energy bursts!

   The Kittanning Street Natural Area in the Institute Hill neighborhood of Butler is a great place to go when you just want to get away from the crowds. This park has a few natural trails worn into it, but it's mostly in its natural state. Dogs are allowed so long as you keep them on leash; this area is a refuge for wildlife in the city, and you don't want your pup driving out the locals! This natural area makes a great walking spot. Just remember to bring your own water and a doggie bowl to share in with you. Nature doesn't provide drinking fountains!

   Lower Alameda Park is a small park, perfect for a quick walk with your dog. It's mostly playground, so you can take your kids and walk your dog at the same time. Follow the looped path around the perimeter of the park to get in your exercise early in the morning or late in the evening. Either way, you'll get it. Butler Memorial Park is a far busier place to go! It also has a playground, but it has more space in general. Take your dog on the walking trails to work up a sweat, then chill at the covered gazebo. This park also features a war memorial and some local history plaques.
