Long Leaf Park
Loblolly pines, a 1.5-mile loop, and split dog runs
About this park
A sprawling wooded park threaded with paved walking paths and shaded by longleaf pine, bald cypress, and loblollies. The off-leash area is well laid out, with separate fenced runs for large and small dogs. Beyond the dog park there are pavilions, playgrounds, a splash pad, and ball fields, so the place easily fills an afternoon.

Before you go
Some of the paved loop runs close to the road, so the western edge picks up traffic noise; head toward the interior paths for the quieter, shadier stretch.
