>> Andrew - Welcome to Riverdale Park, and to TownTalk!  I'm not a dog
>> owner, so hopefully others with better and more up to date knowledge will
>> chime in here.  But if you haven't discovered the network of trails
>> officially called "Anacostia Tributary Trail System
>> <http://www.pgparks.com/Your_Parks/Trails/Anacostia_Tributary_Trail_System.htm>"
>> but usually referred to locally as simply "the bike trail", I hope you'll
>> find it to be both people- and dog-friendly.  One easy access point to our
>> local piece of that system (which is the Northeast Branch Trail) is on
>> Riverdale Rd just east of the elementary school, right at the rickety old
>> bridge (which is long overdue for replacement!).  You'll see signs and
>> markings indicating that the trail crosses the road there. If you go north
>> on the trail, you'll go through one of the several riverside parks in the
>> area and then continue on to the College Park Airport, and eventually Lake
>> Anacostia (where there are also restroom facilities!).  You can continue on
>> from there on the Paint Branch Trail which takes you under Route 1, through
>> campus, and eventually up as far as Home Depot at the Beltway.  This trail
>> bridges under all the roads except for Riverdale Rd and Cherry Hill Rd.,
>> which makes it especially enjoyable to use.  If you head south from
>> Riverdale Rd., the trail takes you along the levees, then joins up with the
>> Northwest Branch Trail that takes you to West Hyattsville Metro, the Sligo
>> Creek Trail and points northwest!  It also connects you to the Anacostia
>> Trail which eventually will connect to DC and a host of other trails, some
>> of which are still in construction or planning stages.
>>
>> There's also of course the newly-opened local trail that follows the old
>> trolley line (parallel to the railroad tracks) between Franklin's and our
>> Town Center, and will connect up with the College Park portion of that
>> trail in the not-too-distant future.
>>
>> There are dog parks in College Park (right on the Paint Branch Trail next
>> to campus at Mezzerott Rd (sp?), and a new park in Hyattsville which I
>> believe is on Ager Road.  I don't know the policies regarding use of those
>> parks by non-residents.  There has long been a dream of a Riverdale Park
>> Dog Park, but I don't know the current status of that project.
>>
>> Hope this is helpful!
