Nice spot to spend time with your dog on 14th st. The dog park is tucked away beside the statue. There is only one play area, this park doesnt separate the big dogs from the small ones.

This place super small. If you want your pet to have a good time go to the 2nd Ave where there is a legit and large run around area. This place is not clean either.

Nice park, everyone is always friendly and respectful but very dirty and smelly. More to do with how sanitation maintains the park.

The space seems very nice and clean from what I could tell from the outside. There is a standard two gate system for safety at the entrance. It is all hard surface, no grass. Looks like there were extra poop bags and such stocked. There is no separation between small and large dogs, its all one big open area.We really wanted to love this park but other owners definitely ruined the experience. I understand that dogs will be dogs, but owners need to step in at some point and be accountable for the behavior of their pets. We stepped into the first gate with no issue, the park wasnt overly busy, probably about 10-15 people there on a Saturday morning while the Green Market was going on.When we got to the second gate we noticed one very excited dog awaiting our arrival, and thats no issue. We couldnt really get inside because of the dog but we just sort of inched our way in until I was inside and the gate was open- my husband right behind me with our dog. At this point someone was trying to come in the first gate, and someone started yelling at them to not open because a dog could get out- understandable.The owner of the excited dog refused to actually do anything about their dog. He was all over my girl in seconds, trying to mount her, and I had to pull him off of her myself with no help at all while not knowing who the owner was because no one was paying attention besides the person yelling. This dog was a very stocky either bulldog or pitbull type breed so all muscle. I had to pull him off, get myself between him and my dog, and get her off the ground. After I did this, the dog wouldnt stop jumping up on me. I have chronic pain issues, and this was an absolute nightmare moment for me. We were stuck by the open gate because the dog wouldnt get out of the way and couldnt move. My husband was stuck behind us because of this dog and couldnt assist. At the end of this fiasco, which lasted several minutes the owner FINALLY walked up and said OFF but the dog wouldnt listen and I still couldnt get away. The person finally pulled the dog away like it was a chore for them and I was able to get the gate closed, and we left.Please, PLEASE pay attention to your dogs in these environments. This was a horrible situation to put someone in. We wont be returning based on this experience alone.

I visited this dog park today for the first time and it was great. There are extra dog bags which I appreciated because I only had one on me. There is also an adequate amount of benches which was another plus.

Nice dog run. They have only one dog run so can be a bit scary if you have a small dog and theres lots of big-medium sized dogs around. Lots of benches on the sides but little shade so bring a hat if you plan to be there for a bit of time.

Double gated and fenced dog run at the park. Hardscaped, no dirt or grass, which means its not muddy. Theres a hose and large water bowl, bags to clean up after your dog (and trash can), hooks for your leash, and plenty of benches for the humans. FYI, the park has a public restroom, but pets arent allowed inside.

This is a super small one and dogs of all kinds like to run or play in it.

The dog run has a gravel ground cover, bench seating, poop-bad dispensers, waste bins and cleaning equipment. It also has a large watering area that features plastic wash tubs for dog bathing. The park is one good-sized, fenced-in area with no separation for large and small dogs.

My Home away from Home. This is my favorite Park in all of New York City. Theres always something going on. Bands play on the stage & The Market in the Summer and Fall then the Christmas Village in the Winter. Great place. They have a dog run. And a play ground for the children. I can go on and on. Highly recommended.

Good but small dog one is extremely small. I have a little pug who loves to run around but can’t in the city. Good still

Never been here but I am very happy to see a dog park that doesnt discriminate on dog size. Small? Large? Even medium sized dogs are all welcome here!! Very unlike the dog parks at Washington Square park! 😡

There is a water spicket, poop bags & if I remember a place to throw out trash, out of reach of the dogs. The entrance is more efficient/safe than most as its in the shape of an L.

You can let your dog run loose in this section. But, please, keep an eye on your dog.

Too small to call it a dog run unless you have a small dog. But better than nothing
