Consistently the best looking dogs of any dog park in Manhattan. Very fluffy, very playful. Grab some Stumptown on 8th street beforehand.
One of the newest dog runs in NYC complete with a small fountain ! Bring your pup there to relax and have fun.
Spend some quality time with your licensed pup at Washington Square 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
Love bringing my dog here. Check out the dog fountain in the back to cool down your pup on a hot day!
Always a fun time at the WSP dog park . Down side is the sprinklers with the gravel during the summer though #messypup
Such great place! To meet people and for you dog to make new friends.
This new layout is GREAT for dogs to run and have some real doggy style play.
Wonderful dog run layout with many friendly dogs. Hand sanitizer is your friend.
Great dog park - equipped with plenty of water stations and doggy fountains . My pup loved running around here!
So big and so clean ! With doggie poop bags and plenty to space for dog chase!
Newest dog run in the city , complete with a small fountain . It's very well kept but generally on the small side.
Awesome dog park ... No complaints except the parents without dogs who bring their kids in there to play... Wtf, riiiight?
Newly renovated and gorgeous. Put your hand on the blue column to turn on the water fountains .
I think the run should have a little grass area .... My dachshund loves to roll around but dogs arent allowed on city park grass!
The new large dog run is now open (June 6, 2013)! The entrance is now on W 4th (Wash Sq Pk S).
In the new and improved dog run , big dogs and small dogs are separate but equal.
No dog. No entry. But take a seat on the benches just outside to watch in envy.
Wonderful place to relax under the sun and watch street performers .
Every man you make eye contact with will try to sell you weed
The best spot to watch the cutest dogs
Bring your little ones here opposed to the older, small dog run at the park . It's like a doggy playground .
Despite the hard work of all volunteers, this continues to be the dirtiest dog park in all of Manhattan. I would avoid at all costs if it weren't for proximity to my apartment .
Such a great dog run
George Washington owned the following hound dogs: Captain, Cloe, Forester , and Lady Rover and a Dalmatian named Madam Moose.
Rosie the Ultimate Fox Terrier loved it. Not too-too crowded . Friendly dogs and people.
Bathroom is nearby.
Good puppies
Our favorite dog park ....
Dogs. Need I say more?
The dog run is named "George's Dog Run " after George Washington.
don't ever bring food into a dog park or you'll have lots of funny attention.
don't get there too early. no one wants to be the first doggie in the run.
Incredible park, loved the Arch, get by sunset there are amazing musicians. - Alina HB
Beautiful park to walk through, read a book or lounge around. - Jason Konen
The larger playground is good for 2 or baby and toddler. Younger bugs are better at smaller park southside of arch. - Gabby H
There's a sun umbrella and large tub of water. The current stones are larger than they were before, so may be better for larger dogs. - ktr
Cute small dog run by Hudson River. Really nice since it's not too noisy, pools for the dog during the summer. It's well maintained. - Winson Wong
Wonderful dog park! Huge space - lots of places to run around. The best part? No dirt or pebbles! - Paige C
Doughnuts are small, dense, and sinfully delicious. Only the beat doughnuts to go with the worlds best (almost) coffee. - Nate Beatty
Really cool vibe! Close to shops and coffeeshops! on weekends outside market place - Kujtesa M
Best falafel and really cheap too, but they also have the really good kebab with nice chunks of meat - Greg B.
