We love this park! During quarantine it was the only one in the area that remained opened since it’s part of the state park and therefore not a city-run dog park. The rocks may throw off some dogs who don’t like running on that surface, but it’s clean with ample seating and a water fountain for humans and dogs. There’s also a little small dog/puppy section.

I love this park because they compost the dog poop! I dont know of another dog park that does that. This dog park was designed as one giant, doggie litter box. The pebbles are supposed to be litter, and there are rakes for you to scoop poop to deposit directly into the bins. Its less convenient than just picking it up with a bag (plastic doesnt decompose in landfills!), but this is a pretty cool concept and super environment friendly! One downside is that it makes it hard for dogs to run at full speed, but my pup still enjoys it. I go at odd hours so I only ever run into a few other dogs at most, but theyre always friendly.Edit: I appreciate the pebbles especially during rainy days since most other dog parks get muddy. Also pretty cool it was renamed!

The small dog park is great, even though the pebble stones make my dog quite dirty and rusty. But the other small dogs who come are great!The big dog park is a little scary - twice I have noticed pretty bad dog fights, after both of which one of the dogs was left bleeding. Be careful!

My dog likes this park, but is not fond of the rocks getting in his paws so he doesnt really Run much. I would say its more of a dog hang than a run! View of the city is incredible.

Good park, cleaner than most. Wish there was more shade cover for the summer months. Also find it bizarre that it doesn’t open until 9am considering most dog owners are out with their dogs much earlier and before they need to be at work.

Super cute dog park! Smaller for a small dog park but it was the perfect size for this small pups. Lots of shady seating and breeze coming from the water.

Very nice dog run in Williamsburg. The gravel style dirt is difficult to walk in but it helps get the pups tired quicker.

Would be better if it were larger and entirely concrete (not rocks)

The best dog run in the area; better than both McCarren and Domino Park for sure.

I like that this dog run is covered with pebbles.
