About the Park
Riverdale's leafy 10471 zip code in the northwest Bronx is where you will find Canine Court, a free off-leash space with a name that promises dogs their day in court. The documented basics: off-leash use is allowed and there is no charge. Beyond that, our data does not record fencing, surface, or hours, so look over the space and posted rules when you arrive. This corner of the Bronx runs greener and slightly cooler than the borough's denser south, which helps in summer, though water is still worth packing since amenities are not listed. For North Bronx dog owners, it is a convenient no-cost option to evaluate in person.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Canine Court is an off-leash area without full fencing. Make sure your dog has solid recall before letting them loose, and keep an eye on them near any roads or boundaries.
Best of all, Canine Court is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
backpackWhat to Bring

Poop bags
Most parks provide them, but don't rely on it. Always come prepared to clean up after your dog.

This park may have limited seating, so a portable chair can make longer visits more comfortable.
A reflective collar or light-up leash

High-value treats
