Description: Andrew Haswell Green Dog Park is located on New York City’s Upper East Side at E. 63rd Street on a section of the East River Esplanade. Overlooking Manhattan & the East River, the park is maintained by Friends of East63 (an association of dog owners who volunteer) with financial help from the City Parks Foundation.
The dog park is in the shadow of the Queensboro Bridge and sits apart from the Esplanade like a mini oasis for dogs. It is fully fenced in with separate small & large dog designated areas. There is fine-gravel ground cover, plenty of bench seating, watering areas in both (large and small dog) sections, cleaning equipment, washtubs, poop-bag dispensers and waste bins.
REVIEW BY DUSTY BLUE: This place is really cool and definitely one of the most beautiful man-made dog parks I’ve seen in Manhattan. The fine-gravel ground cover makes it look like a beach sitting right next to the East River. The dogs and people here are very friendly and I went in both the big and small dog sections. It was very clean, had a few trees for me to sniff and pee on, and I grabbed a drink of water in one of the two watering areas while I was at it.
