Even if there's others there's plenty of room to spread out if you just want to read a book while your dog plays. Owners are nice. No problems. There's never a shortage of parking. And if you have kids and there's another adult with you , the kids have a field and a playground for themselves. So all family members get an oitog

There are also some chess tables and benches scattered around, a couple of playgrounds, and a pavilion. They all could use a little bit of TLC because they get beat up from all the use, but they're decent. The parking here is good and they've also got a public bathroom which comes in clutch when you need it. I mostly go to enjoy the walking paths. They've got a few that go through a nice patch of wooded area. It's easy to walk and looks nice in the summer and fall. You can walk down to the Lt. Michael P. Murphy Memorial Park right on Lake Ronkonkoma and enjoy that as well.

This dog park in Shirley, Suffolk County, is about 5 minutes from Brookhaven Airport and 8-10…read moreminutes from Smith Point Beach. The entrance is easy to miss--the sign is small and blends into the bushes, so GPS is recommended. There is a grass and sand parking lot with one handicap space. Inside, the park is divided into two fenced areas: one for small dogs and one for large dogs. Each has a double-gated entrance, but the small dog gate is difficult to close and often left open. Some repairs look to have been done by locals with rope, but proper maintenance is needed. Combined, both sections are about the size of a football field. The large dog area has two shade trees, while the small dog area has none. Each section has a few benches. Visitors have left behind toys and bowls, but it's best not to use the water bowls--others have reported kennel cough. It gets very hot here in the summer months. Bringing water in a bowl is recommended. There are only two trash cans, both outside the fenced areas, and waste cleanup is inconsistent. Bring your own bags (though sometimes donated bags are available). The park is surrounded by brush and fields, with possible poison ivy/oak. Mosquitoes can be an issue, but I haven't had any flea or tick problems here. The county mows every couple of weeks, which helps, though the parking lot and walkways are often overgrown. Most of the dogs are medium to large breeds in the big dog section, but a handful of small dogs do come regularly. Overall, the dogs are friendly and the owners are great--I've only come across one or two dogs that weren't a good fit, which is typical for any dog park. Locals visit year-round, even in the snow, and there's usually at least one or two people here no matter the time of day. There is also an old, unused agility ramp in the large dog area. The park is open year-round with no posted hours. I'm rating this dog park three stars. While I enjoy bringing my dog here and I'm grateful it exists (especially since there aren't many dog parks on Long Island), it needs better maintenance and more accessible trash cans. In my opinion, the small dog area is oversized for the number of small dogs that use it, and overall the park doesn't measure up to four- or five-star dog parks I've visited elsewhere. That said, it's still worth a visit--the space is large, the community of dogs and owners is wonderful, and it's the best option nearby.

The parking lot is huge. There's a small farm that you can walk through with the kids. There's a cute indoor greenhouse and cute photo opportunities for the family.

If you are not a resident, do the meter parking because the pass is INSANE. All in all great park to go to! Oh and sadly no pets are allowed there.
