Fort Greene Park — Attraction in New York

This is one of my favorite places! It's fun to take walks since the terrain is Hilly but it has trails you can hike or run on.

The owner didn't even bother to apologize. Now I'm going through rounds of rabies shots, received a tetnus shot, and I'm on antibiotics just to be on the safe side from my visit to the ER. I have no problem with the fact that dogs are off their leashes, as it is a dog friendly park, but unfortunately, owners, or that owner specifically, just let their dog roam freely anywhere when it had the potential to bite people. I do think the dogs should be leashed where there are walkways and really my biggest concern is, what if it was the kid we were with, was running up behind me and she were the one who was...
