Throw your dog a bone at the Shirlington Dog Park. Big and small canines alike have plenty of room to romp around the grassy paradise. Off-leash is allowed. Small baggie not included. Don't have a pup? There's a long path that runs alongside the park that's perfect for a nice weekend walk through town.

*I said village because, as funny and old-fashioned as it may sound, it's "The Village at Shirlington." Classy stuff.
