Dog Friendly Brooklyn

This info comes from the NYC Parks Department.  I have added links to specific parks’ websites, if available.

“Off-leash” means the park has designated areas where your dog doesn’t need a leash after 9pm or before 9am.  You must still have your dog under control at all times, and clean up after him/her.

A “dog run” is an entirely enclosed, dedicated space for your dog to exercise off leash.
