Confirmed from Pier 84 Dog Run's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Small fenced-in dog run on Pier 84 next to the U.S.S. Intrepid with benches, trees & a water supply.
What runners say about Pier 84 Dog Run
“It was clean overall, aside from a few spots where some owners hadn't picked up after their dogs.”
“Beautiful view of the river and Intrepid, but the park itself isn't very exciting.”
“Pros: shade, water fountain, cool people, good location.”
Newly re-opened this past Tuesday. Renovated and beautiful for dogs and pet parents. Right next to the Intrepid and Circle Line tours. I loved it! I am a dog walker
I actually enjoy this dog run far more than others in the city. I love that they have kiddie pools, sprinklers, water bowls, and fountains. They even have a toy library for the pups, though I'd recommend bringing your own since the shared toys seemed a bit dirty.
A nice open space to stop, pick up a bike and join everyone on the bike path. Another great place to take pictures of the intrepid. With enough seating on premise, you can enjoy a quick bit before or after visting. A calm and relaxing pit stop to enjoy the view.
My sister and I have been to this place months ago and that while standing on the outside, it was a nice sunny day and that there were many dogs playing running around, playing with water, and having fun.
