Anyway, I wondered if I even need to take them for a walk, since we play ball with them inside the house and they both run quite a bit. I want to take them to a park every day, but don't really have time to load them in the car and drive 30 minutes to the park. Our addition has lots of big, unleashed dogs and some are mean, so I don't like to walk around here.
Any suggestions or ideas...or similar problems?

I take Andy for Two 15 minute walks twice a day weather permitting .Boots and snowsuit he loves to run in the snow .He has a rain coat for yep the rain lol,jackets and sweaters.I usually take a ball and throw it just a few steps ahead of us .He has fun even though its not much .Same thing in the green belt there are so many off leash dogs it makes me mad .If one comes our way or two close I either walk the other way or pick him up . Just keep them at a distance no matter how friendly they say they are unless YOU know them because socializing them to new people and other animals is good . We just have to be on their toes .
