Ive been to this dog park many times. I do agree if a dog is aggressive warn other owners and keep them on leash so its not possible for other dogs just trying to have fun at risk of seriously getting injured. I get it people want to teach them to be social but when its crowded its best to not have the aggressive dog inside. The dog park is big and roomy enough. Please owners be considerate for others and your own pet safety. I also want to say if theres rough playing in the park that day I also recommend those owners to judge the park first before entering. Its best to always be careful. Sadly temporarily closed the dogs need that energy burn. Hopefully it opens again soon.

Dogs are great. Dog owners are too. Folks are attentive, responsive, and I havent experienced any significant doggy conflicts. On occasion, a responsible owners has chosen to leave for another time/day, instead of pressing a bad situation. Commendable!! Dog run is serviceable, but would benefit from better grounds maintenance/material and more sensible hours. Newly posted hours (8am-Dusk) are to late for morning pre-workday use and to early (mid autumn, all winter, mid spring) for evening closing hours. Something I hope is reviewed and adjusted soon. It is an asset to this community and a safe space for dogs, dog owners and residents of NYC.

Took my husky pup to this dog park, being a first time dog owner I was a bit scared. Icey socialized so well and everyone was so welcoming, Bella and her owner was so helpful. The only thing that I didnt like and my dog could have been seriously hurt…..the spacing on the benches is not suitable to have in a dog park!!!! My pups leg got caught and thankfully she was fine, but trust me it could have been worse. Riverside park needs to rectify that ASAP

Sweet little dog run with a good number of benches for humans. Smaller than St. Nicholas Park Dog Run and Sir whatsits Dog Run in Fort Tryon Park, and bounded by a less woodsy atmosphere of Riverside Drive and whatever industrial buildings below on the Hudson River side. Still, were grateful for any safe enclosed space a dog can run off-leash and meet/play with new doggie friends!

Wanted to quickly respond to review post from Jennie Jenn, and youre absolutely right. One of our benches did have an unacceptable gap b/w the first and second slats. Thats been addressed. I invite you to see our IG @dogrun142 dated Sept 27 2022. Youll see the repair we implemented. I didnt see a way to reply to you directly, so were adding this review to say thank you for raising awareness of this issue. Please come back soon and see us at DR142.

I dont have a dog but the pet owners and dogs seemed have good time. It is a large enough space for the K-NINES to run & play with each other as well as good excercise in a safe space. My Mom & I would watch them from a park bench nearby in warm weather.

Great park

The dogs and pet parents are all friendly. The grounds are dirt and wood chips, so you dog might get dirty. There are shade covered benches, a great view of the Hudson River, and a lovely park. Bring water for your dog.

Flat park: no hills or rocky areas.A couple of benches.

Review 32 (2019-04-18 - Rating: 4)
A little small if a bunch of big dogs are there, but an excellent spot for your dog to meet their friends every morning/evening

First impressions? We went to this location for the first time Sunday.This is our first time taking a 6 month German shepherd who has currently completed puppy training only. Good temperament and does well overall with all sizes.Our dog has been somewhat social and we have been looking forward to introducing him to more dogs. This location has several size breeds. There were at least based on our 2hr stay more smaller breeds. This park has a very active dog run area. Our dog played or was around 15 dogs but only about a handful were there at a time. From my observation all dogs were well mannered and they understood each others temperaments well.Our dog was not the only one having fun. We found ourselves making 2 new friends of our own. We had some good conversations and gained some more insight on what other owners are doing and works with their own pets. I think this is useful and nice to share with others who can gain further experience in helping their own dog have a more happy and healthy life. People here were friendly and social. Experinced owners who knew their dogs and had some knowledge on breeds so I was less worried about my own.Our dog is shy, alert and worry of humans reaching for him fast. We were at first concerned of people somewhat not respecting his space but people were also great with all the dogs and not just ours.We plan on frequenting this dog park run and updating review if things change for us but so far it was a positive first time experience. Thanks to all the welcoming and wonderful dogs/people here.Final thoughtsI did observe most people picking up after their dogs but 2-3 times people didnt and the smell can be at first difficult. Please be observant of your dogs activity and come prepared to clean up after your dog.My dog is still tired after yesterdays intense playtime lol
