Hillside Dog Park

Great experience. This is actually a "dog run". If you do not have a dog, are allergic or just dislike dogs, then this is not a park for you. Huge landscape perfect for the dogs to let their energy out. Lots of trees and hills. Picnic tables for owners to relax while their dog is having fun. The people were pleasant and were paying attention to their pets (making sure everyone was getting along). There is a large bathtub for the dogs to cool off in the heat and a hose to fill the tub on your own. Definitely one of the best dog runs I've been to.

Hillside Dog Park — such a great place! This park could honestly be a destination. We live in Hell’s Kitchen but are always happy to make the trip just to come here. It’s big, has real soil (not just concrete), and dogs absolutely love it — they can dig, run, wrestle, and just go wild. The size of the park makes a huge difference — there’s enough space for dogs of all sizes to play without feeling crowded. It’s fun for them, and honestly, fun for us too. Everyone’s friendly, and the energy is always good. Totally worth the trip — your dog will thank you. More about NYC on Instagram: @eevahn1 0:11 0:06

We love Hillside! It’s a spacious and safe place for our pup to run and play with his friends. We have made many friends here as well. There are picnic tables to sit on or place your belongings. During summer months, there is a pool and a tub for the dogs to cool off. They have volunteer days for clean up and maintenance. Bring water in the winter because the water is shut off. We find the after work crowd is respectful and diligent in watching their dog. Sometimes weekends can bring a crowd that is more distracted and less diligent. It’s important to keep an eye on your dogs behavior as sometimes intact dogs can spark aggression. Also, please clean up after your dog! There are plenty of trash cans nearby. Dog-friendliness It’s a dog park!

We love Hillside! It’s a spacious, safe place where our pup can run and play with his friends. We’ve also made many wonderful friends here ourselves. There are picnic tables available for sitting or keeping your things, and during the summer months, there’s a pool and tub where the dogs can cool off. The park also hosts volunteer days for cleanup and maintenance. Just remember to bring your own water in the winter, as the water supply is shut off then.

We take our 13 pound dog from the LES over on the weekends and we have been happy thus far. It’s a nice, open dog park right off the bridge. The times we’ve been there, there were around 10+ dogs, all of whom have been friendly and there is enough space for all the dogs to run around freely. It’s located on a hill by a highway entrance, and two local roads so parking is challenging, but nice park given the location. We will be back!

My dog absolutely loves the space to run around, one of the best dog parks in Brooklyn because of all the room and nature. We take the ferry to Dumbo and make a day out of it. Playground It's not a playground for kids, it's a dog run/park Dog-friendliness It's a dog park Picnic area There are tables for you to sit at while you watch your pup run around.

Nice dog park! Has a small dog area and large dog area. I specifically came here for a corgi meetup and it was a blast! After hosing off my dog at their water/wash station, I took him for a walk at the Brooklyn Bridge Park right across the street to dry off!

My puppy loves it. It’s huge, with lots of shadow so dogs can run even when it’s hot. People and other dogs are super friendly and supportive and if you don’t want to interact with anyone there’s plenty of space to separate from the crowd. The only downside is that the park is a bit dusty but I think it’s still much better than the pavement in the other parks around.

Decently large dog park with seating areas and a water fountain for dog owners and a great deal of room for your loved one to run around and socialize with other dogs, with many on the weekend especially but not getting the feeling of too overcrowded. Seemed a little drab in terms of quality overall but other than that quite convenient in terms of place being nearby to the subways and ferry

SUCH HILL MUCH PICNIC TABLE MANY DOGGO this park is a gem! i currently count at least FIFTY doggos here and it doesn’t even begin to feel full. it’s next to a highway so meh but it’s also on a hill so the view of the park is perfect from anywhere. there’s even a teeny tiny corral on the side i guess if a pup needs a time out? anyways, a+ this park is great worth the trek out here.
