Riverside Dr (at W 72nd St) New York , NY 10024 United States
Great location, and my puppy loves crawling around the circular benches . But whoever decided to landscape w crab apple trees needs to be fired -- they fall & rot, and my dog is obsessed w eating them.
Spend some quality time with your licensed pup at the Riverside Park Dog Run . For info on dog licensing visit: http://on.nyc.gov/M85uPu. For more info about dog runs visit: http://bit.ly/Ra5S4w
Little dogs are more than welcome on the big dog side . Just be cool about it.
Keep an eye out for the little apples that fall from the trees in the dog park . They are small enough to choke on.
I love how huge the large dog run is, it allows the rowdy dogs to play, while my chill dog can jump in to play or just play catch with me.
Spacious area. Water hose available for drinking and spraying.
Woof woof, doggy play date central
Go early if you don't want to run into the dog walkers with their packs of dogs and to avoid meddling old ladies that have nothing better to do than watch your dog!
Bring your own water!
It's so nice and dogs are very friendly so are the owners
Hella apples here so keep an eye out for choking. Just toss em out
People get this run confused with the one above the Greenway. That's not Riverside Park South. This dog run is under the West Side Highway.
Best dog run in upper west side. Especially good for little dogs . There is usually people and dogs here.
Best dog run ! Spacious , trees , benches , good drainage (no smell!), great views , big & small runs... Another dog park below the highway when it's raining!
Lovely evening views
An awesome dog park with split sections for big dogs and little dogs .
The mister on the small dog side is nice on a hot summer day.
Beware: While the dogs play nicely, the humans come with drama!
Riverside's finest 🐶
Everyday we see our lovely patrons' best friends.
Kind of dirty but a good, long, open park . The dogs can really run full speed here.
Best run for little dogs . Clean ,sunny and a water view .
Woof, woof to them I say!
Sunday at 4:00. Dachshund Meetup!
Best dog park .
Cool place to grab a few drinks and a bite to eat on the water. The sangria was solid and lobster roll/fries were pretty good. Only problem is UWS is a bit far but I'll be back when I'm in the area. - Dan Fetzner
Perfect playground for the littlest of boys and girls. Only two swings but sprinklers in warm weather, easy slides, and of course, an engine train to climb into. - Daniela

the best place to sit and have peace of mind or with a friend for a light snack is around the 59th st area of the park - Damian Clayton
Great place to escape from the noise of the city. Huge area to explore with plenty of lakes and quiet spots to enjoy a picnic. - Carl Griffin
