Cunningham Park Dog Run, Queens, NY

Cunningham Park is one of the largest parks in Queens. This much-loved urban oasis boasts playgrounds for kids, green space for picnickers, sports fields for anyone wanting to raise a sweat, and best of all, a spacious dog run.

Located in the park's southwestern corner, the Cunningham Park Dog Run is a welcome escape from the city hustle and bustle for NYC pooches. It has separate areas for large dogs and pooches under 25lb, and there's also agility equipment here for any pups wanting to show off their athletic prowess.

Much of Cunningham Park is nicely shaded, so it's easy to escape the sun at the height of summer. There's a picnic table and benches where pet parents can sit and watch the fun unfold, as well as a few pipes for your dog to crawl through and a ramp to run up and down.

The Cunningham Park Dog Run is covered in wood chips which are replaced every spring. However, this dog run can get muddy after winter when the weather warms up and the snow starts to melt.

With water fountains for both dogs and people in the large and the small section of the park, canines and their humans can stay hydrated. Please note that the water fountains are turned off in the winter to avoid any chance of pipe breakage. The City of New York also provides clean-up bags and trash cans to help keep the park clean, so make sure to clean up after your pupper whenever necessary.

Another bonus of this off-leash dog park is just how user-friendly it is. Ample parking and public restrooms are both found just a short walk away, and once your dog has finished exploring the dog run, you can also take them for a leashed walk through the pretty surroundings of Cunningham Park.

If you're looking for a Queens dog park where your fur-baby can run, play, and socialize the day away, add Cunningham Park Dog Run to your list of mutts-visit destinations.
