Great little park here. It's split for big and little dogs. There's even a poop scoop for when your dog inevitably decides, inside, the park is the best to go.

Try to keep the doggy pool as clean as you can. We should try to avoid our pups drinking from it. You never know what's in it when its too cloudy

Nicely-sized park - but it is abundant with homeless people. We brought breakfast here from Tompkins Square Bagels and then headed to the dog park afterward.

AmateurConcierge

A nice big run but the dusty ground and pool makes for dirty dirty dogs. If in the small dog run make sure your pooch doesn't jump the fence to run with the big boys!

You may catch a celebrity when you visit here. Teddy won the VPI contest and is now featured on back cover of Gay City News

Ask before you give a treat to another dog. You don't know what kind of diet they are on or what their allergies might be.

Chelsea

Listen: don't bring a ball or frisbee to the dog park expecting to be left alone, or even bring the toy home afterward. Expect to have many pups playing, or save it for off-hours/your private park .

The annual Halloween Dog parade is amazing. So many dogs sonny costumes !!! Great space for dogs to run around with water fountain . It's pretty quiet and chill .

Pedigree Brand

This dog run features state-of-the-art running surfaces, separate runs for large & small dogs, and hoses to spray your dog.

Spencer Vairo

Great park , clean and well cared for. Other dog owners are friendly and responsible.

During the Halloween Dog Parade , prizes are given for the best costumes : past entrants include a few Frankenweenies and a three-headed Cerberus impersonator.

Sebastien Kuo

There are hot guys with cute dogs here. All you need is a full bar and you're set.

ᴡ phillips

One of the oldest doggy walks. Very large play area for big dogs . Always lots of action.

Joe Beef

If your dog is 50 lbs, he shouldn't be in the small dog park . I don't care how entitled you feel, this is how pets get injured.

Roman Garcia

Before 9 or after 7 is the best time to avoid the pup chaos

Examiner.com

Considered one of the best dog parks for your little furry friends. The park has separate spaces for the larger and smaller dogs. Read more

Spot the Shiba Inus on the weekend after a bagel at Tompkins Square Bagel

I love taking my dog here! He absolutely loves it!

Kimmie Ohh

Lovely dog park . Enjoy nature!

Eric Ryan

Bring your puppy here early and often... and you'll have a well-socialized and happy dog by adulthood.

M. R.

The Annual Halloween Dog Parade is one of the best days of the year!

Ray's Candy Store

Stop by @RaysCandy Store after!!! 113 Avenue A across from the park . Dogs welcome! Read more

Geoff Stearns

Never open the inside and outside gates at the same time. People that do this are assholes and should be corrected. A few dogs have escaped and been hit by cars, so don't do it.

Tucker Warner

Loved it and the dogs were fun.

Joanna Psonis

Calypso loves this park , she like to run around on the wooden deck in the small dog run .

Suzanne Weinstock

Watch your dog carefully. Occasionally an aggressive dog gets out of hand.

DoubleDeuce

Is it your dog that likes to sneak a sniff behind the park benches ...?

Mike Ciliento

Say hi the heffner if you see him. He's the little frenchie OWNING all the big dogs .

Bradley Rhyins

It’s alright, kinda non social dog park

Meredith Battjer

Most people are OK with smoking but don't put out your butts on the ground -- some dogs eat 'em.

Saif Dia

Two dog runs , split by dog sizes

Siobhan Quinn

Nice clean dog run .

ºDamian White º

This place is dirty . Just dirty . Dogs poop all inside the dirt areas where the dogs play and run, and has a split area for big and small dogs. Not a fan. Take them to Washington Square instead.

ARISTOPETS Pet Care

There should be a soap opera about this place. Seriously, drama!

Aristopets Pet Care

My pup clients love this joint!

Red Fabbri

The pug loves the big-dog run.

Mike B.

Keep an eye on your dogs and pick up after them. Don't make the dog park a minefield of poop.

Amit Sachdeva

No dogs without people and no people without dogs. Bee tee dubs, human babies, even crawling on all fours, are not an acceptable substitute for dogs.

Arielle Betlyon

Charlie K. is the cutest mutt in the dog park . He wears Ralph Lauren polos.

Greg

This is a park for dogs, not for children. Don't bring you kids here to let them play with the dogs.

Katy Zack

When I'm feeling sad (or just want a good laugh), the dog park always makes me smile.

Sean Hunt

Morning crew rules!!! Especially the bench eccentrics ! :)

Nicholas Furness

Hit the 19th annual Halloween Dog Parade on Oct 24th a Noon! Dressed up dogs, local crazies and a raffle... Check the URL for raid-date details.

Douglas C

Love how the current mayor of the dog run is a cat.

Dan Friedman

Do NOT bring food into the dog park ; it is not a good place to have a snack . And please don't feed other dogs treats without first asker the owner for permission.

Justin Champion

Watch where u step

Greg

Close the door quickly as you enter and exit so the dogs don't escape!

David Buccola

Don't micromanage your dog.
