isham-sideDescription: Isham Park is a 20-acre historic park located in the Inwood neighborhood of Manhattan, across the street (Seaman Ave.) from the much larger Inwood Hill Park. It is a very pretty neighborhood park with plenty of trees, paved walkways, park benches, and water fountains. The park does not have a dedicated dog run, but it is considered a dog-friendly area with the availability of dog poop bag dispensers and waste bins near the park entrance. Dogs are recommended to be on leash in this park.

dustyreviewREVIEW BY DUSTY BLUE: This park is beautiful, compared to some of the paved and gravel parks I’ve visited further south on the island. I was able to check out, sniff, and mark up the trees to my heart’s content and there was a good amount of area for me to run around. I met my first three-legged rescue dog here!
