DOG-FRIENDLY PARKS IN NEW ROCHELLE, NY

Long Island Sound's northern shore hosts this Westchester County city of 80,000, where waterfront estates and urban neighborhoods exist within the same municipal boundaries. Coastal New York weather means humid summers in the mid-80s and cold winters with moderate snowfall. Metro-North Railroad provides 35-minute service to Manhattan, making New Rochelle attractive to commuters. The city's diverse population reflects waves of immigration, from early Italian and Irish settlers to more recent arrivals from the Caribbean and Latin America. Spring and fall bring pleasant temperatures, though coastal winds persist throughout the year.
