There is nothing like a beautiful day at the Ball Park. Your day is even better when you do not have to leave your best friend at home! Now on the designated dates you can bring your dog to beautiful Citi Field. Participate in a dog parade if you wish or just enjoy the game from your seats in the Coca Cola corner.

By attending, you will also be supporting the Northshore Animal League America, the world’s largest no-kill animal rescue and adoption organization.

Arrive early to the Bullpen Gate with your game tickets to participate in the Dog Parade* (weather permitting). This gate opens two hours before game time. Dogs not participating in the parade, must also enter via the Bullpen Gate. Sorry, late arrivals will not be permitted on field for the parade. Approximately 40 minutes prior to the scheduled first pitch, all dogs will be directed to the Right Field Gate for direct access to the Coca-Cola Corner.

All dogs in attendance must have their own ticket in the Coca-Cola Corner.

For more information and tickets: Tickets for Bark at the Park 

For information on how to adopt from Northshore Animal League, go to Northshore Animal League on the web.

How to find us: Look for the blue LI-DOG tent!

On Saturday, April 15th at 11 a.m., please join LI-DOG as we spend a delightful hour on a guided tour of the beautiful, English-themed splendor of Old Westbury Gardens. There’ll be plenty of spring’s horticultural treasures for our eyes and our fur babies’ noses to enjoy!

Our walk is almost all on flat ground and there are opportunities to shorten the walk for those who wish to do so. Make sure to bring poop bags–as clean-up is a must! — and bring your camera as there are many beautiful photo opportunities on the grounds.

Our LI-DOG Pack Walk™ takes place during Old Westbury Gardens’ Spring Dog Festival. Make sure to stick around after the Pack Walk and enjoy the Festival with booths and exhibits from rescues, animal advocacy organizations including LI-DOG, and vendors of doggie goodies and gear. The Festival runs from 10 am to 6pm on the 15th, with the last ticket sold for 4pm on Sat.

On Sun., the 16th, Old Westbury Gardens will be welcoming your pup also–as part of their Dog-Friendly Weekend–with the same hours as Saturday, but no vendors will be present.

Please make sure to register for our LI-DOG Pack Walk™—it’s free! Registrants for the Pack Walk will have the opportunity to donate to LI-DOG for a chance to win a raffle basket full of doggie toys and treats. Proceeds support LI-DOG’s work to gain more access to public parks and beaches for Long Island dog owners and their dogs.

Dogs must be on-leash at all times when visiting the Gardens and are not allowed in any buildings on the grounds. Please no retractable leashes when on the Pack Walk as the dogs may become entangled. Dogs are also NOT allowed in the Walled Garden.

Entrance tickets to Old Westbury Gardens must be purchased in advance through their website at Old Westbury Gardens – Ticket Purchase

OWG admission fees are $15 for adults; $13 for seniors (62 and over) and full-time students with a valid ID; and $8 for children ages 7-17. OWG members, children 6 and under, and four-legged visitors are free!

How does a vacation with your best canine buddy in a lovely setting with lots of outdoor, totally dog-friendly safe, and fun activities sound? If you’re ready, check out Canine Camp Getaway!

Or simply relax – in Gettysburg with a private, man-made lake for the dogs or in a dog-friendly pool in the Catskills.

Canine Camp Getaway is a one-of-a-kind vacation geared to dog lovers and their dogs. Both facilities are totally dog-friendly for all ages, sizes, and abilities – dining and Yappy Hours, and days filled with activities you can share with your pup including hiking, agility, swimming, Frisbee, lure coursing, canine freestyle dance, and more!

In addition, there are classes on lots of topics including Canine CPR, seminars from veterinarians and trainers, and resources on how to help your dog live a happy and healthy life! The venues, while different, are people-friendly too; Gettysburg has a few more amenities, while East Durham emphasizes an unplugged, laid-back feel.

Rates range from $1,025 (meals and activities only) to $1,650 per person in Gettysburg and $825 (meals and activities only) to $1,300 per person in East Durham, depending on occupancy. There is also a brand new in 2023 “Getaway Plus” rate for the full East Durham September 25th – October 1st package. Rates for “Getaway Plus” range from $1,500 (meals and activities only) to $2,300.

The dog run at Belmont Lake State Park has a new amenity–a bench donated by LI-DOG!

Bailey, Kej and Chez modeled the new bench after our LI-DOG Pack Walk™ at Belmont Lake State Park on May 21st, 2022. Thanks to our colleague Joann for this great shot!

On the new bench is a plaque that says, “For all the happy dogs and their people. Enjoy! – LI-DOG”

LI-DOG made the donation, a first for our organization, through the Natural Heritage Trust which allows individuals and organizations to donate to programs and projects that directly benefit New York State parks.

The dog run, which opened in June 2021, is located within dog-friendly Belmont Lake State Park in Babylon and features separate small dog and large dog areas, water fountains, waste bag dispensers and trash cans.

We hope everyone enjoys the dog run at Belmont Lake State Park and the new bench!
