We actually went to a BBQ in Pelham Bay park last weekend. I didn't see any dog park in there though. The one on 79th sounds perfect. we are going to go there either tomorrow or Sunday.

OOps yes your right!
oh wow so they are pet friendly ..wow we should definitely meet up there then :)
what does everyone think...
a wednesday or friday works best for me :)

I'm free any day so what you all pick please PM me incase I miss it! I don' t think there is a do run near there. All I know is I met some friends for dinner there. Couldn't find the place cause it's under the highway, but when I did I was amazed ate how nice it was, and that there were dogs there!

Here's a link to the place:

Back on the Topic of Manhatten Dog Runs....Below is the list of NYC Department of Park Runs. Yes the Washington Sq. Park on would be near NYU. I haven't visited that run, but the Union Sq. run not too far away is nice. It's not very large so I haven't seen many large dogs.

Brad really wants to go to the boat basin? He's all dressed! Anybody?

Wish we could come but we are on the opposite side of the country. Take pics whoever goes!

Well me and coco ventured out to the dog park on 79th on Sunday the one at the boat basin. We didn't go eat but we saw the cafe. I thought it would be more like a fenced in play area for dogs. I guess that is what I had in mind. But its just a regular park where you walk your dog along trails with you. It was about to rain so there was not anyone out there and I was alone so I didn't want to venture too far. There were some tunnels and of course this being NY there were people sleeping in them so I did not want to venture to far by myself especially being that the park and trails were empty and along wooded areas. We may go back but I will bring someone with me next time. Also I am going to keep my lookout for a park with a fenced in area for the dogs to play together in.

awwww im so sorry
i didnt know that ... but i totally agree about the fenced area.

We are going to the city on Saturday if anyone would want to meet up.....I want to take Maximus to a "official" dog park...lol

im down .. what time are u getting into the city??

I don't know of a dog run in the area of the boat basin. Sorry. I just know that if you want to eat, and bring your dog that is the place to go. Brad and I tried to go there last night, but the storms started while we were driving into the city. I think we are going to try again tomorrow if anyone is interested.

Is anyone up for the union square dog run on Saturday???

Is this one actually fenced in?
