Wag! Walkers know Washington Heights

The Washington Heights neighborhood is a residential area located in the northern part of the island of Manhattan. This community is accessible to other parts of the island via major arteries and the subway, and to New Jersey via the George Washington Bridge. There are many services, both within and around the Washington Heights neighborhood, including schools, hospitals, shops, and restaurants. Pet services in the area include veterinary care and pet supply shops. 

For those who would like a walking destination, to enjoy a cool drink or bite to eat with their canine companion, some local eateries offer pet-friendly outdoor tables. Remember that patio seating is subject to availability, and weather permitting. The weather in Manhattan, New York can vary depending on the season, and conditions on the northeastern seaboard. Summers tend to be hot and humid and winters cool, but more temperate than the rest of the state, and usually above freezing, although some cold snaps and snow are possible. Washington Heights experiences its fair share of overcast and rainy days, and storms are possible year around, especially in the cooler months, when severe weather from Atlantic weather systems can occur.

What is the terrain like in Washington Heights?

Washington Heights is a very interesting community. Located on an elevated area near the highest point on the island of Manhattan, this community features some steep terrain and fantastic lookouts. The park area in the north, which features the Cloisters Museum and Gardens, is built on a series of bluff and cliffs. The entire area features many multi-story residences with unique architecture, and some very medieval looking, castle-inspired buildings and facades  The area is serviced by concrete staircases and subway elevators to negotiate the changes in elevation and steep terrain. 

Most apartments and condo buildings are several stories high, and there are quite a few trees on the pedestrian walkways in this beautiful area, providing shade to passersby. This is a high traffic area, as Washington Heights is the location of the world’s busiest motor vehicle bridge, the George Washington Bridge, connecting the island of Manhattan to New Jersey. Be prepared for steep climbs, stairs, and traffic when walking your dog in this neighborhood, but also for some great views from elevated areas, and some fascinating buildings with plenty of old world style.

How many greenways are there in Washington Heights?

Parks, parks, and more parks are available in Washington Heights, for those that value greenway experiences. Highbridge Park borders the area to the east, and Fort Washington Park is located in the west. Fort Washington Park features the Hudson River Greenway, a continuous 11-mile trail along the Hudson River, offering great views, and a fantastic walking trail for residents and tourists, along with their furry friends. The area features several dog runs and parks, including the Parks Dog Run and Rocky Dog Run, near the Fort Washington Park for off-leash activity. Fort Tryon Park which boast the Cloisters Museum and Gardens, also contains the Sir Williams Dog Run. Parks in the Washington Heights area offer unique views of the river and Manhattan from elevated viewpoints, and the nearby off-leash parks are a real bonus for dog owners. There are also several parks and greenspaces throughout Washington Heights. Some of these parks include J Hood Wright Park, Mitchell Square Park, and McKenna Square Park. Lots of green walkways, open areas, and dog-friendly locations for you and Fido to enjoy.
