Dog walking in West New York

62 Street/ Kennedy Boulevard East

West New York is one of the most densely populated places in the United States. That’s why walking your Fido on the streets is not a good idea at all! A special area for your furry friend can be found at Donelly Memorial Park Dog Run. The park is fully fenced, has two separate areas for small and large dogs, lots of shade trees (a blessing for owners!), benches for taking a break after a long walk, and spectacular views of the Manhattan skyline just over the park. Love visiting restaurants with your pooch? Come by and peruse the menu at Cavalinos Restaurant on Park Avenue. Making reservations may be a good idea, since there are only three dog-friendly tables outside.

Park Avenue/11th Street

Hoboken is located to the south of West New York, and its Park Avenue/11th Street neighborhood has two beautiful amenities for your pup to enjoy. Hit the road via Park Avenue by car, which will take less than 20 minutes, or take a bus departing from Park Avenue, and it will sweep along in half an hour. Once you are in Hoboken, Viaduct Dog Park is happy to welcome you on Maddison Street. The park is small, but brings a bunch of joy to its visitors. It’s fenced and fully equipped with a water fountain and special accessories to train your bud’s agility. Another dog park to visit in Hoboken is the 2.1-acre 1600 Park, which features a separate dog run for training and exercising with your excited pup. If you get hungry after all the activity, you can always visit the dog-friendly Hudson Tavern on 14th Street to bond with your friend and share a late dinner together.

Boulevard East/Woodcliff Avenue

If you’re from West New York, you’ve probably heard that your neighbor to the north, North Bergen, has a terrific place for everyone who loves going off-leash and having barkvelous time with other pups. North Bergen Dog Run is a fenced dog park offering everything a happy dog owner may need: waste bags, donated toys, bowls to fill with running water, benches for catching a breath between activities, and separate runs for dogs of different sizes. Locals are usually very friendly, so if you visit the park for the first time, don’t worry. Your bud will easily find new fur-iends, and you may become a part of the local dog community!

Borough Center

Leonia is a lovely place to visit with your pup, especially if you live in West New York and want a bit different view than Manhattan’s skyscrapers. The Borough Center of Leonia provides you and your pooch with two beautiful places to visit: Overpeck Park Dog Run and Leonia Dog Park/Lakeview Park. Overpeck Park Dog Run is a fenced, spacious park for your pup to walk off-leash in the conveniently separated areas for large and small dogs. The park is situated and has a path to Overpeck Creek, which makes it an enjoyable place for pooches who like to swim, splash and chase a Frisbee while they’re at it. In comparison with Overpeck Park, Leonia Dog Park is located in the middle of the borough on Broad Avenue, but has several advantages, such as two picnic tables and a large area with hills where Fido can chase his new fur-iends.

West Hoboken

Hoboken is a great place to spend time with your pup because it has several amenities. West Hoboken offers an awesome fenced dog park at your disposal. Church Square Dog Run is a place of joy.

There are also benches spread all over the park for dog owners’ convenience. Another dog park in West Hoboken is Stevens Park Dog Run.
