Dog Runs

Dog Runs

Battery Park City is home to three dog runs. We have tried to create pleasant places for both people and their canine companions.  All of the dog runs provide seating for people, water fountains for all and shade. The runs are long enough for dogs to be able to chase balls and get some real exercise. In addition, they are all hard surface to allow BPCPC staff can clean them thoroughly. As long as the temperature is above freezing Battery Park City’s dog runs are washed twice every day and disinfected at least once a week.

+ The Sirius Dog Run

 

 

The Sirius Dog Run at Kowsky Plaza was created to accommodate the large numbers of dogs who live in the Gateway Plaza complex. Others are welcome, of course. While small it is extremely popular.

 


+ The West Thames Street Dog Run

The West Thames Street (located just South of West Thames at Little West Street) includes separate spaces for large and small dogs as well as benches, shade structures and trees on both sides.
