Carl Schurz Park Dog Runs — Attraction in New York

I’ve lived most of my life in NYC and never costed this park. East siders have it made! This park is gorgeous. It runs along the FDR and York Ave with east river views to Randall’s Island and LIC. The walking paths were full of moms, Nannie’s, joggers, people strolling to and from work and plenty of dogs for my Roxxi to say hi to. The were a couple of playgrounds from the 91st entrance up to the 87th area which had courts for pickleball or tennis and basketball. I saw some swings as well. There were quite a few families having picnics and there was even a toddler music and me class going on in one of the grassy areas. I saw a couple of dog parks within the expanse of the park that weren’t on the map that I came across on our walk. The big breed one was nicer with astroturf, shading and plenty of seating for the parents. The small one was alright, it was on the waterfront which was a beautiful view but in direct sunlight which could overheat playful dogs too quickly. We mostly walked because my girl absolutely loves fetch and there weren’t too many occupied areas for us to safely play out of people’s way but I’d definitely go back on another day to explore more and take...

Lovely park! I especially enjoy that the East River is right across from it, adding to the beautiful atmosphere. There’s so much to do here—soccer for kids, tennis and basketball courts for all ages, plus swings and playgrounds for the little ones. The park has a nice walkway, and overall, it feels clean and safe.

The bathrooms are reasonably clean, which is a big plus, though they do have a slight smell. Another highlight is the designated walkway for dog owners and separate play sections for kids, which keeps things organized. There’s also plenty of seating available—another huge bonus.

One of my favorite moments was watching an elderly man playing basketball on the large court. It really shows how this park welcomes all ages. I highly recommend it...

The dog park, especially the one for petite canines, is like a beating heart; the promenade is only missing the lawlessness of human statues and tarot card readers at dusk (but, in liue of recent memory, understandable). The Mayor's mantion is, like: "Dis park is none of my effing business); the conservancy is kind, dedicated, passionate and welcoming ... rolling pedestrian hills and yoga for babies ... everything a public park aught to be (just scratching the surface -- cause there's all manner of nautical activity to unwind...
