Any off leash dog parks near Port Jefferson?

When I bring my dogs to DC to visit my brother, they have such BEAUTIFUL, well kept dog parks, where the dogs can play off leash in a large fenced in area. They have sooo much fun, and it's a good opportunity to meet other crazy animal lovers.

I am wondering if anyone is aware of other fun play areas on long island (near Port Jeff) where they have anything like this? I know of one in Huntington, but thats a trek for some play time.

ANy Advice welcome!
