Most of Long Island has seen the peak of fall foliage by now, according to the latest Fall Foliage Report for New York. That means park grounds are plentiful of crunchy leaves – something our four-legged friends love!

Head over to one of the many dog run parks on Long Island to let Fido, Spot, Rover, Buddy, Max and the other four-legged friends play freely and run through the leaves!

**Reminder: Dogs are not allowed in Nassau County parks or preserves. Dogs must be on the leash en route to the dog run.**
