Consistently the best looking dogs of any dog park in Manhattan. Very fluffy, very playful. Grab some Stumptown on 8th street beforehand.

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?

Anoop Ranganath

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!

Michael Talbot

The new large dog run is now open (June 6, 2013)! The entrance is now on W 4th (Wash Sq Pk S).

Dylan McKenzie

In the new and improved dog run , big dogs and small dogs are separate but equal.

Justin Pak

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

Annie Park

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 .

Victoria Batha

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 .

Sinan Arkonac

Such a great dog run

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.
