Kensington Dog Run — Attraction in New York

Sadly, my puppy and my family had a bad experience at this dog park. If you have a large breed puppy I do not suggest to visit this dog park. My dog was mounted on by another dog and the owner did not recall. My husband stepped in immediately to remove the dog from mounting our puppy. However, the dog continued the attack causing about 7-9 additional dogs to react. I noticed no other owner stepped in to retrieve their dog and at that point I realized I had to help my husband and puppy escape the swarm. Unfortunately my husband was bit as a result and my puppy is now traumatized.

People, please be mindful the responsibilities that come along with owning a dog. If your dog is misbehaving you should immediately correct the behavior and recall. Additionally, it is your responsibility to remove your dog from the dog park and de-escalate.

The actual park itself is too small and absolutely not worth it.

Parking is available to the left...

My dog was attacked by 4 or 5 smaller dogs because their owner had them in the big dog area and they wouldn’t come and get their dog I had to kick dogs to get away from mine . Luckily he’s a husky and his fur is thick he suffered no bites to his body but he had a injured paw . They need to be stricter on small dogs being in the big...

Very disappointing that this is a “newly renovated” dog run. Prospect Park is giant, and this tiny dog run was all they managed to put together? As other reviewers have said, the artificial turf traps smells of wet dog and urine and was well stained. There’s no separate run for smaller dogs vs larger dogs. There is at least a hose and a separate wash area, but I would never use it. As per most dog runs in NYC, the idiot owners not watching their dogs make it not worth the risk. Avoid,...
