105th Street Dog Run

The 105th Street Dog Run, nestled within Riverside Park at Riverside Drive and West 105th Street, is a spacious off-leash area for Upper West Side dog owners. This well-maintained run features a gravel surface, plenty of open space for dogs to romp, and abundant natural shade provided by surrounding trees. The facility includes a separate, smaller section for small dogs, a water station with tubs and sprayers for cleaning and hydration (seasonal), and is consistently stocked with plastic bags and cleaning tools for convenience.

Since its revitalization in 2012, the run has become a model community space thanks to the efforts of dedicated local volunteers and the Riverside Park Conservancy. It offers a friendly, active atmosphere where dogs and owners alike can socialize and enjoy the scenic park setting year-round. Whether you’re looking for a place for your pup to burn off energy or a spot to connect with fellow dog lovers, the 105th Street Dog Run stands out as a neighborhood destination. riversideparknyc.org
