This park has tons of room for your pup to run free and plenty of places for you to sit and relax! It's a great park for a game of fetch but prepare to play with other ball–thieving dogs as well.
Pretty nice dog park that's clean and decent size with a great atmosphere surrounded by trees. There's a large and small dog run. Gets a little stinky during the summer. Water is available for dogs!
Keep under the shade of trees bordering the dog run while watching pups romp in the pebbled park. Bring your pup to Madison Square Park Shake Shack afterwards and treat him to a cool poochini treat.
Very friendlypet parents. Would recommend giving your dog a bath after visiting as the gravel is very smelly. Make sure to wear closed toes shoes and clothes you don't mind getting filthy, great park
It's a great park: plenty of shade and room to run around. My dog loves it there. However, when it's warm out, the pee-soaked gravel tends to stink and it's hard to stay in the area for too long!
Spend some quality time with your licensed pup at the Madison Square ParkDog Run. For info on dog licensing visit: http://on.nyc.gov/M85uPu. For more info about dog runs visit: http://bit.ly/Ra5S4w
Currently sitting next to a man who brought his four-year-old human daughter to the dog park because it's fenced in and she can't run away. He doesn't own a dog. Not sure how to react to this.
Close the gate. Every time. Nobody wants to lose a dog. I don't care what your rationale was for not closing it this time. Be considerate of others. Close the gate. Every time.
Here's a tip: don't leave tips about how much it smells like dog pee. IT'S A DOG PARK! It's like complaining that pizza joints smell like pepperoni. "...how often they wash the stones..."?!?!
