About the Park
Midtown East workers and Murray Hill residents share this free off-leash run at Robert Moses Playground, in the 10158 zip code on Manhattan's East Side. For dogs living in elevators-and-lobbies territory, a legal off-leash space within walking distance is the main event, and that is what the record confirms here: off-leash use, no charge. Fencing, surface, and hours are not documented, so scan the setup and posted rules before your dog goes free. East Side blocks trap summer heat, so carry water; January wind off the East River cuts hard, so keep short-coated dogs moving. Verify current conditions on site, since this listing is intentionally limited to what we know.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Robert Moses Playground Dog Run 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, Robert Moses Playground Dog Run is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
