I have had to literally wait outside of the park, for the dog owners to put their pets on a leash, get their belongings and leave. During those times, I dont enter the park because the owners let their dogs run around the park freely without their leashes. Take your dogs to a dog park!

Great playground! On the Hudson near 158 street. This playground is large with a lot of unique water features sprayers, large sandbox, cool looking little slides for kids, secluded inside many large trees with plenty of shade. The playground is next to a few soccer fields. There is also picnic tables nearby and you can also Grill for BBQ. If you are not familiar with the area it can be a little difficult to find, best way is to walk on 158 street towards West side Highway, walk down ramp or stairs near basketball court under road then walk north...

Beautiful playground in the heart of Washington heights with beautiful views of the Hudson River, NJ and the George Washington bridge. Great for picnics, BBQ, playing sports: baseball, soccer, tennis and basketball. It has a long nature trail for walking, jogging and a bike path. You can also see the Amtrak pass by. Great for dog walks too. At the end of the day everyone has a blast in this park. I would highly recommend it to everyone. It serves many needs...
