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.

Little dogs are more than welcome on the big dog side . Just be cool about it.

Sabrina Majeed

Keep an eye out for the little apples that fall from the trees in the dog park . They are small enough to choke on.

Katherine Brown

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.

Jacqueline Chan

Spacious area. Water hose available for drinking and spraying.

Jeff Solomon

Woof woof, doggy play date central

Vanessa Griffith

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!

Silvia Esparrachiari

Bring your own water!

Selina Silva

It's so nice and dogs are very friendly so are the owners

Julius Tarng

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.

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!

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
