Just as we enjoy the open space and fresh air of a park, so do our pets. Dogs are allowed in most parks, but they must be leashed. However, no dogs are allowed in the county nature preserves or sanctuaries, Lasdon Park and Arboretum, Muscoot Farm, Playland, the Sportsman Center or Washington's Headquarters. Dogs are not permitted in picnic areas. Disposable dog waste bags are available at many parks.
