This is currently not much more than two fenced areas set aside for dogs, but it’s a decent space in the larger Riverside park, behind the stadium.

RIverside Park is a great place to walk with or without your dog. People are friendly and outside of the dog area most dogs are on leash especially at busy times.
The off-leash area is tiny. No running and catching anything. She could sprint from one side to the other in maybe 3 seconds. I never went in there when it was busy, only with 1 or 2 dogs. My dog wasn’t complaining when I walked her around the park for 20+ minutes. I would go there normally for a walk around the park and sometimes on the dirt trails in the woods. I noticed they actually fixed up some trails in the last year or two.
