Description: Inwood Hill Park is a city-owned and maintained public park in the Inwood neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. Homer’s Run is located within the sprawling park and sits more to the center of it behind the handball courts. It is completely-fenced in with segregated sections for large and small dogs, and has gravel ground cover and a dog watering area. The small-dog section has a cedar chip ground cover. Dog poop bags and waste bins are available and a small agility platform and plank are in the large dog section. This is a medium-size park for Manhattan and is clean and fairly-well upkept.
REVIEW BY DUSTY BLUE: The first thing I noticed when I entered the double gate was the smell of human pee. I’m used to dog pee, but that about knocked me over! The large-dog area had some very nice dogs and I ran around it and drank from the water bowls. There was a good amount of room for me to run here.
