The expanded and improved Chelsea Waterside Dog Run is now open for play.
The dog run is expanding by nearly 3,000 square feet, from 3,500 square feet to 7,400 square feet. It will have separate areas for large dogs and small dogs and features innovative canine-friendly water spray jets as well as mounds and boulders. New tiered seating and benches will increase the seating capacity for dog owners fivefold — providing more shade and greater comfort. The new dog park is the first new amenity now open at Chelsea Waterside while construction on other areas continues into Winter 2023.
Hudson River Park offers four dog runs, with a variety of features for both small and large four-legged friends. Take advantage of beautiful scenery while your pooch exercises and socializes in a safe environment along the beautiful Hudson River.
