Good to know

1 mapped drinking fountain nearby. Still bring water on warm days.
New York summers are hot and humid, and winters bring snow and salted sidewalks, so time walks for cooler hours and wipe paws after winter walks. In many NYC parks, dogs can be off-leash in designated areas before 9 a.m. and after 9 p.m. Outside those hours and areas, leashes are required, so check the posted rules for each park.
