The newly renovated Tompkins Square dog run is open for business. The newly renovated run re-opened Tuesday afternoon, July 22nd after a 9 month renovation completed by park users and our freinds at New York City Department of Parks & Recreation.
Manhattan Parks Commissioner William T. Castro is on hand to talk to NY1 at the re-opening of Tompkins Square's dog park.
The small dog run gang turn to smile for the camera...while their dogs are happy just to have their owners home from work.

The renovated run features a state-of-the-art surface that drains well, is dust-free, and best of all is paw-friendly so the dogs love to run on it.
There are 3 swimming pools for the dogs to make a splash or jump in for a quick cool off.
The dog park is open from 6 a.m. - midnight, 365 days a year. We're located in Tompkins Square Park - NYC, along the 9th street path between Avenue A & B.
