Consistently the best looking dogs of any dog park in Manhattan. Very fluffy, very playful. Grab some Stumptown on 8th street beforehand.

Despite the hard work of all volunteers, this continues to be the dirtiest dog park in all of Manhattan. I would avoid at all costs if it weren't for proximity to my apartment.UpvoteDownvote
