Park rules for pets may vary, depending on which park you are interested in visiting.  Pets are allowed at most parks if they are on a leash. Parks Rules for each County Park are available by checking our Parks Listing for specific rules for each County Park.  Please be sure to clean up after your pet.

Are you looking for an off-leash dog area? Look no further, we have two!  One at Bandix Road and one at Howe Farm.
