Underbridge Playground Dog Run, Queens, NY

The Underbridge Playground Dog Run is the pawfect space for city-living canines to enjoy some off-leash socialization and exercise time. As its name suggests, this park is situated under a pedestrian bridge. While it is not the most luxurious of off-leash areas, it's the pawfect spot for your pupper to make some new friends and run off some of their excess energy.

The Underbridge Dog Run offers separate play areas for small and large dogs. While there is grass in both off-leash areas, this park can get quite muddy after rain or snow. There's also a decent amount of space for pups to enjoy, especially considering the park's location, so your pooch will relish the opportunity to stretch their legs and go exploring. While they do that, you can cool your heels on one of the provided park benches. There's plenty of shade to ensure that you don't overheat in summer, and because this is quite a popular park, there's a good chance you'll find lots of other like-minded pet parents to talk to.

This dog run is maintained by a voluntary group, so remember to pitch in and clean up after your dog whenever necessary. There are no clean-up bags available, however, so you'll need to bring your own. Unfortunately, there's no water fountain provided either, so you'll need to remember to BYO water when visiting this park with your dog.

Be sure your dog has had their rabies vaccine and is properly licensed before visiting their park, and carry proof of these whenever your pup is out in public. Aggressive behavior won't be tolerated either, so make sure your pup knows how to play nicely with other dogs.

Otherwise, the only thing left to do is sit back, relax, and watch your dog have a great time. At the Underbridge Playground Dog Run in New York, your pooch can enjoy some fun, socialization, and exercise while meeting new friends.
