Marsha P. Johnson State Park Dog Run

We love this park! During quarantine it was the only one in the area that remained opened since it’s part of the state park and therefore not a city-run dog park. The rocks may throw off some dogs who don’t like running on that surface, but it’s clean with ample seating and a water fountain for humans and dogs. There’s also a little small dog/puppy section.

I love this park because they compost the dog poop! I don't know of another dog park that does that. This dog park was designed as one giant, doggie litter box. The pebbles are supposed to be litter, and there are rakes for you to scoop poop to deposit directly into the bins. It's less convenient than just picking it up with a bag (plastic doesn't decompose in landfills!), but this is a pretty cool concept and super environment friendly! One downside is that it makes it hard for dogs to run at full speed, but my pup still enjoys it. I go at odd hours so I only ever run into a few other dogs at most, but they're always friendly.nnEdit: I appreciate the pebbles especially during rainy days since most other dog parks get muddy. Also pretty cool it was renamed!

Fine dog park but not much too it. The gravel flooring seems to bother some dogs' paws

Good park, cleaner than most. Wish there was more shade cover for the summer months. Also find it bizarre that it doesn’t open until 9am considering most dog owners are out with their dogs much earlier and before they need to be at work.

While the dog run itself is picturesque, my dog can barely walk after an hour of running around here. The dog run is covered in little pebbles that have cut up my poor pup's paws. They are raw and blistered....nNever going back.
