About the Park
Where West 72nd Street meets the Hudson-side 10069 zip code, this dog run gives Upper West Side dogs free off-leash time near Riverside South's towers. The documented facts are minimal but useful: off-leash use is allowed and there is no fee. Fencing, surface, and hours are not recorded, so survey the run and posted rules first, particularly with a dog that tests gates. River-corridor wind is a winter reality on this side of Manhattan, while summer mornings are the comfortable slot before heat builds. With the density of dogs in the West 60s and 70s, a no-cost run at this address is core neighborhood infrastructure; confirm specifics on site.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
West 72nd Street Dog Run is fully fenced, so your dog can run and play off-leash without worry. This makes it a great choice for dogs still working on recall or for owners who want extra peace of mind.
Best of all, West 72nd Street Dog Run is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
