West 87th Street Dog Run

This place is awesome and quickly you can see whos not part of that environment because everyone is in a good mood and having a great time with beautifull views

Super fun and recommended for a bunch of W dogs(we don’t like L dogs 😡😡😡🙏🙏🙏)

Could be better. Because of the hose and dog tub area, it gets muddy quickly. So your dog could easily get dirty. Definitely not the best place to go after a recent grooming.I’ve also heard that the fence may be too low for some dogs. And I have experienced dog to dog aggression from other dogs, which I can understand it could happen, but the problem is that the dog owner did not leave the run, even after being aggressive to three other dogs. He just apologized and said he was tired to do training. I ended up leaving (like others did) so that my dog was not attacked again, and also to prevent him from copying that behavior. We sat by the bench outside, and witnessed the same dog being aggressive towards another dog! Finally the owner left and apologized to me once more as he was leaving.

My small dog was attacked by a German Shepherd in this dog run, she has broken ribs/abdominal injury so I would definitely be careful if you have a small dog. I also heard other incidences unfortunately. Most owners are cool but again some people leave their big, bad behaving dogs unsupervised and they do attack other dogs so guard your small dog at all times while in the run. These owners will not take responsibility, wont apologise, they will just disappear and you will get stuck with a suffering dog and thousand of dollars of a medical bill. Also I encourage anyone to reach out to me or leave comments if they know a full-size German shepherd with a female owner in mid 20s, short dark hair, she is thin and tall. Im still looking for this dog/owner particularly because of the poor manners of leaving without acknowledging what happened.

Great dog run! Everybody was very friendly, and while there are small dog and big dog areas of the run, I found that there wasnt much segregating going on and they were all mixing together. Our dog, who is 12 pounds, seemed to have a great time running around with the 25-35 pound dogs, even though they played a little rough with her sometimes. Either way, great community of owners come here, who were all friendly, happy to talk, and only on one occasion hesitant to step in if their dog seemed to be getting out of line.

87th Street was totally renovated thanks to a heroic effort on the part of many volunteers and contributors some years ago. The surface and drainage have held up well. In the heat of summer, far more of the run is shady. But the 81st Street run is newer and the 72nd Street run is best overall imo.

Dirty and/or dusty park, some parents bring kids in there to watch (chase, feed, scare) dogs instead of asking a dog owner to teach them how to interact with dogs properly. today a dad brought hockey sticks to play hockey with tennis balls in the dog park. some dogs got terrified, some angry, some didnt mind. i left.

This is a great place for neighborhood small dogs. My 10 year old dog, who often doesnt play in other dog runs, has a wonderful time here.

Great for local pups. Small dogs have a very tiny area to run around but it works.

I remember when dogs really used to run. Dogs these days are so spoiled. This should be called a dog scamper.

Good place to run your dog.. Has two runs, one for small dogs and one for big ones.

First time for both of us ever in a dog park. I had fun. Loved it.

Friendly dogs and their humans are not bad, plenty of room to runaround.

This place is awesome if you like dogs but if you dont like dogs stay away

I love our local dog run and all of our dog run friends! The run is the center of our neighborhood!

Dont have a dog, but this dog run gets a lot of use by dog owners. 🐕 🐶 🐕

Needs to be revamped with rubber flooring like dog runs in LIC

Good run. Careful of the dogs. They collaborate!

Medium dog run not too crowded by the hadson

Best dog park in this neighborhood

Shady in summer with a fun splash pool for the dogs!

Awesome spot for dogs to run! Friendlier than the one further up

Good mix of dogs. Not a lot of dog walkers bringing in half a dozen unattended dogs

Good place for small/large bois

Fences too low for bigger / springier dogs.

One of my favorite places on the UWS

Natural environment for healthy living and meditation

Great park to dogs.
