105th Street Dog Run

Great dog park, one of my favorites on the Upper West Side. Plenty of space for small and big dogs alike to run around and play. Several benches line the back of the park to accommodate the human companions.

Water bowl is always available with a. spigot. Plenty of tennis balls to throw around. Water tub is also a central feature in the warmer months.

The dog park is clearly.well maintained and well frequented. You can usually find dogs there throughout the day with peak times being in the morning and late afternoon.

The space is great and proximity to my apartment is wonderful. However, I have witnessed multiple dog fights there, mainly because owners are not attentive to their dogs or refuse to step in swiftly when their dog is being aggressive. Our neighbor’s dog was attacked there the other day. We will not be frequenting this park, especially with the huge flux of wild COVID puppies there.

EDIT: I have demoted this park to 1 star. An incident today put me over the edge. Unfortunately there are more knucklehead dog owners in the park than not. Today I saw a very aggressive young dog cause 4 dog fights, the last one involving my own dog. I confronted the owner who responded, “It’s not my dog. Just trying to work on her in here.” So trainer-wannabes are now just bringing aggressive, untrained dogs in here for the heck of it. Nope! Sadly, I won’t be returning unless it’s empty.

Nice place, a little bit too small, and the small dogs part doesn’t always have small dogs only. Even so, never had a problem

The dog park is frequently used by many dog owners in the neighborhood. My dog is a smaller sized dog, so she goes to the smaller play area. I wish the smaller area was bigger, so that the smaller dogs could have but more space.

Excellent dog run! Good vibes, nice dogs nice owners good view. Just be sure to make sure you helicopter your parent your dog to keep the atmosphere good and the dogs well trained.

Dangerous! Don't bring your dog here. Dog owners are oblivious to their pets aggression and don't even care how their dogs behave in there. My friend's Goldendoodle got its ear torn from a dog bite. Better safe than sorry.

Some of the cutest pups in the city gather here for a fun time.

Nice dog park. Mostly purebred dogs - or dogs mixed with poodles - and it's a nice crowd. It's a dusty place if it hasn't rained in a while, but the dust only happens when the dogs are having fun so it's happy dust. (But don't wear shoes you would not want to be very white with dust.)

Plenty of benches and trees if you want to stay out of the sun, and there's also a separate small dog section that is separate from the main run. There is a water spigot if you bring a dog bowl. The location within Riverside Park is beautiful. Nice walk and pretty surroundings. Always well-maintained (but be prepared for dusty feet).
