Description: Fort Washington Park is located in the Washington Heights section of Upper Manhattan, along the banks of the Hudson River next to Riverside Drive from West 155th Street to Dyckman Street. Near the intersection of 165 St. and Riverside Drive on the edge of the park is The Rocky Run dog run. The run is completely fenced in but has no separation for large and small dogs. There are no poop-bag dispensers or cleaning equipment, and no watering area. There are a few benches for seating and waste bins are located at both entrances. There is cedar chip ground cover and a good amount of space for smaller dogs to run.
REVIEW BY DUSTY BLUE: This was a pretty no-frills dog run. There was a decent amount of room for me to run around… barely. The cedar chips on the ground made my feet pretty dirty. The good thing is there were a few trees for me to sniff and pee on.
