West 87th Street Dog Run

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.

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

This is a great place for neighborhood small dogs. My 10 year old dog, who often doesn't play in other dog runs, has a wonderful time here.

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.

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

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, won't 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. I'm still looking for this dog/owner particularly because of the poor manners of leaving without acknowledging what happened.

Typical dog run but a fairly quiet and nice area in the upper west side. There is a hose hookup for water. I’ve met a nice number of people here on my three visits this past week. There is one lady with a fanny pack and an accent (British?) who may attempt to tell you how to handle your own dog/ give training advice (which I *suppose* is fine but she lacks interpersonal skills so it just comes off as being nasty). Other owners mentioned she did the same to them. Otherwise good experience.

Great dog run! Everybody was very friendly, and while there are "small dog" and "big dog" areas of the run, I found that there wasn't 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.
