LI-DOG Pack Walk™ at Dix Hills Park!

Sat., May 20th, 11 AM – 1 PM 

575 Vanderbilt Pkwy., 
Dix Hills, NY

(Google Map)

How to find us: Look for the big parking lot on the right after you enter the park and the people and dogs near the brown sign at the trailhead.

Please join us for our May LI-DOG Pack Walk™ on the lovely Woodland Trail in Dix Hills Park, Huntington! LI-DOG Pack Walks™–group on-leash walks–are a great way to enjoy Long Island’s beautiful parks with your dog, while meeting new friends and their pups.

The trail, which is covered by trees and is a bit hilly, is one of the nicest dog-friendly trails on Long Island. Make sure to wear good walking shoes as the trail can be gravelly in spots.

The walk will take about an hour as we follow the 2-mile-long Woodland Trail around the perimeter of the park. There are several places where you can cut the walk short, though, if you want.

Please be aware that dogs must remain leashed AT ALL TIMES on the Pack Walk™. Please also make sure to bring poop bags–as clean-up is a must! Also, no retractable leashes as we’ll be walking as a group and people and dogs can get tangled.

Please arrive 15 minutes early so you can sign in and we can start on time.

To RSVP, go to:

LI-DOG on Meetup

We hope you can join us at Dix Hills Park on Sat., the 20th!
