Looking for a dog park in Buffalo? Well, most people have heard about the one in LaSalle Park. That's a nice facility and all, but after the 100th visit or so, you might be looking for somewhere else to take your 4-legged friend..

Not many people know about the "secret" dog park... Amherst State Park (WIKIPEDIA - Amherst State Park) on Mill Street in Williamsville. (MAP TO: 400 MILL STREET)

It's a beautiful old abandoned apple orchard, with a stream running through it and PLENTY of room to run. This little known gem in Amherst has been a closely guarded secret of the residents of Amherst for years.

Here's the catch... it's a STATE PARK... it's for everyone, not just rich white folks in Amherst. So I'm blogging here to let everyone know about it. If you're looking for a good "off leash" dog park, check out the AMHERST STATE PARK. Your taxes are paying or it, so go enjoy it!

Technically, the rules say you're supposed to keep your dog on the leash at all times, but from what I saw, no ones seems to follow that rule. Most people show up at 5 or 6pm on weekdays and let the dogs play 'til sunset... it's a blast!
