West 72nd St. Dog Run

The West 72nd Street Dog Run, located in the lower level of Riverside Park, is a spacious destination for dogs and their owners on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. This well-maintained, fully fenced area offers ample room for dogs to run, play, and socialize off-leash, with gravel-covered ground that’s easy on paws and benches shaded by trees for comfortable seating. The run includes separate sections for small and large dogs, water access, and plenty of space to ensure that even during busy times, it never feels overcrowded. Whether you’re seeking a spot for your pup to burn off energy or a place to connect with fellow dog lovers, the West 72nd Street Dog Run is a favorite local retreat. Located at 72nd St. and Riverside Drive. riversideparknyc.org
