Give your pup a chance to know what running unleashed in a ungated area feels like here. Unleashed hours r from 9p (pretty sure) - 9a daily. Get there by 8:30a & ur dog will still get a good run in.

Evan Stern

Great for running, great view with the leaves off the trees but you will need to pick the rocks out of your running shoes

Larry Koestler

Even more of a hidden treasure than The Harlem Meer; this might be the most perfect spot to get away from it all, while still being right in the middle of everything.

Chris Raghoobar

The No Pants Subway Ride excursion begins here. Nice wide space with a good view of things.
