Lots of fun for everyone! My dog has a great time and the people and other dogs are always very friendly . There is also a separate dog run for the more timid dogs. Only downfall is the bugs .
Most of the benches are close enough to get a strong free pubilc wi-fi connection to the American Natural History Museum .
Great place for a morning romp for the pups. Next to the museum of natural history in a beautiful park .
Another large run for the bigger dogs. Great for playing catch or getting lots of exercise.
Great at night or in the winter because there are a few lights
Come on a weekend when it’s less crowded

A great place to pee and poop, but fair warning this only applies to dogs.
It will be very muddy if you visit within a day or so after rain!
Oh, there is another rule, you must have a dog to enter. Crazy lady is the exception
Avoid bringing TENNIS balls. They cause fights, and also bad for yours dogs teeth.
There is one rule at the dog run , no balls allowed. The one rule is optional though.
Beware of the occational bad dog and always clean upafter your pootch
