Fort Tryon Park Dog Run

Directions Contact the business

Fort Tryon Park Dog Run The largest dog run in Manhattan, the run is over an acre of fenced-in fun in the heart of Fort Tryon Park! The fence was added in 2001.

The area started as a large non-fenced-in dog run area. Sir William’s Dog Run is maintained by volunteers in collaboration with the Department of Parks and Recreation and the Fort Tryon Trust. Sir William’s Dog Run has over 350 regular users and attracts visitors from the five boroughs and beyond. How to Get Involved:

Coffee Bark the first Sunday of the month. 10am - 12pm. Free coffee and homemade baked goods provided by our sponsor Spoiled Brats. Clean Up Days: The second Saturday of the month. Help keep our dog run safe and beautiful. Howl-O-Ween: Our annual canine costume extravaganza. A variety of categories and prizes. A great event for the whole family. Directions: Enter Fort Tryon park where Fort Washington Avenue turns into Margaret Corbin Circle. Take a right - going towards New Leaf Cafe. Walk down the stairs past the cafe - there's an archway, this goes UNDER the road. The dog run is on the left by a giant radiator sculpture.

DOG OF THE WEEK: Our dog of the week is Saylor. He was a 2 month old pup adopted from Muddy Paws at the end of February — now 8 months old. He loves snuggling and sleeping in late in the morning, but Aleksei and Ferry don’t allow him to because Saylor also adores running about in our dog run with his favorite buddies Ron, Toby, Annabelle, and Darwin — but he is flexible and sincerely loves playing with any dog that will match his enthusiasm. 😊 After running around like a loony in the run, he enjoys sitting at Billings Lawn watching the mighty Hudson ebb and flow as well as trying to catch bumble bees — thankfully he has not caught one yet. The lantern flies are another story, but he doesn’t like the taste of them. When he was much younger, he would watch airplanes with the excitement of perhaps catching one. He has not yet spotted our resident raccoons, rabbits, ground hogs, nor the occasional opossum. A sudden horse will make him bark. According to his Dads, he is a silly potato, a ding-dong, and a loving sweetie.
