My dog enjoyed this park way more than many others we have been to. I think this park is a lot better since it is not only a flat rectangle but it has a lot of vertical elements to it. It helps the dog to not feel so “out in the open”.
The park is in general very clean, spacious and provides water. There are actually two parks one reserved for larger dogs only, the other open for any type of dog. There is no big difference between the two and they are adjacent to each other.
Recently renovated, this is a great space for dogs to have a good time. While simply a concrete surface area, a large hill and rocks do make for ideal running around. A water feature and fountains help pups stay cool in summer. With separate space for small and large dogs, it’s not as big as other parks but still offers enough space for romping around. Usually pretty full, there’s always someone to play with but it can get too crowded during weekend prime times.
Great dog park! It’s not too big, but I loved that they have separate areas for small and large dogs — makes playtime safer and more fun for everyone.
A good option with a few negatives: The section for the “big” dogs was quite small, and the rock-like structure in the middle (while fun for some) didn’t leave a lot of space for them to run or wrestle. (It also blocks the view for you if your dog is on the other side of the structure.)
On the plus side, the water feature was fun for the dogs, there was ample seating for the humans, the grass-free helped us avoid muddy paws, and it’s a great location with well-kept public restrooms close by.
Very nicely maintained dog park across street from West Side Highway and Chelsea Piers. Unique dog breeds. There’s a small dog area and large dog area. In the evenings sometimes the owners come together to have music and a mini block party.
Sometimes entrances are randomly locked up and a bit of green space would be nice
