Dog Parks in Manhattan
Even though skyscrapers and crowds rule the concrete jungle, there are still plenty of places for you and your pup to stretch your legs. New York City is home to many dog parks, where your dog can safely run and play. These fenced-in areas provide the perfect spot for unleashed exercise during park hours. Here is a list of dog parks in Manhattan.
Before You Go
Remember to:
• Pick up after your dog and properly dispose of the waste.
• Play nice! Don’t let your dog chase birds, squirrels, or other NYC wildlife.
• Be safe! Your dog must be vaccinated against rabies, and you are required to carry proof of a current dog license and rabies vaccination while in public.
