A Guide to New York With Your Dog

Central Park

The famous Central Park is almost synonymous with New York City, frequented by residents and visitors alike. Dogs are allowed in many parts of the park, which even features a monument to the brave Alaskan sled dogs of the 1920s. Better yet, in all of the areas where dogs are allowed, they can go off-leash from 9 a.m. until 9 p.m. There's nothing like the off-leash wag!

Manhattan locals and visitors alike will love this dog-friendly destination. Located right in the Flatiron district, Madison Square Park features a gated dog run with canine water fountains and plenty of covered seating areas for pet parents. Plus, it's a great spot for pooches of all sizes because there are separate areas for large dogs and small dogs. Nearby, you'll find plenty of dog-friendly restaurants and shopping areas, too.

Fuel your dog's day of adventure at Prospect Park Dog Beach where your pooch can be off-leash during certain hours, primarily very early in the morning and late at night. Not only that, but he can enjoy a swim in the Dog Beach area during off-leash hours. This lovely dog-safe pool area was recently renovated and is a favorite of local canines.
