The best dog friendly neighborhoods
in Mount Vernon

Kingsbridge

Just six miles away from Mount Vernon is the Bronx’s Kingsbridge neighborhood, where you and your dog can have a ball visiting Ewen Park Dog Run. Located within Ewen Park, this separate, fenced-in area is made for your dog to get some exercise off his leash while playing with other dogs and making new friends! Make sure to bring along some water and waste disposal bags. Your dog can also explore the rest of Ewen Park with you, but after he leaves the dog run, he’ll have to be on his leash.

Washington Heights

In Washington Heights, located about a thirty-minute drive from Mount Vernon, you’ll find J. Hood Wright Dog Park. This dog park is sure to be a pawesome time for you and your furry friend. There’s plenty of room for your dog to run off any of his excess energy. J. Hood Wright Dog Park also has water fountains for both you and your dog, making sure the two of you stay cool. These fountains aren’t functional in the winter, though, so keep that in mind. There’s also plenty of seating for pup parents.

Ward Acres Park

Paws Place Ward Acres Dog Park, which is about fifteen minutes away from Mount Vernon, is yet another dog park you and your canine companion can explore together. This dog park has a separate area for small dogs, so if your dog is on the tinier side, you don’t have to worry about him being roughed up by bigger dogs who might not know their own strength. Water and waste disposal bags aren’t provided, so you’ll want to be sure to bring some; no one likes a mess left behind!

Malcolm Wilson County Park

If you and your dog love going for long walks together, make sure to check out Bronx River Greenway. With a nearby access point located in Malcolm Wilson County Park, which is about fifteen minutes from Mount Vernon in Tuckahoe, you can choose how far you walk. Bronx River Greenway is a whopping eighteen miles long and takes you through some beautiful areas. Your dog can join you if he’s on a leash, and you have to clean up after him. Make sure to bring water for the both of you, and make sure to wear good walking shoes!

Middletown Pelham Bay

Just ten minutes from Mount Vernon is the Bronx’s Pelham Bay Park, which is home to Pelham Bay Park Dog Run. This dog run was actually the first dog park to be built by New York’s Parks and Recreation department, and it remains a local favorite to this day! Let your dog have fun socializing with his peers, which will both allow him to get some exercise and develop crucial social skills. Make sure to bring water and waste disposal bags, as none are provided, and nobody wants to be the person to not pick up after his or her pooch!
