Top dog walkers in Randals-Wards Island
There are few businesses on the island to access and most services require travel across one of the bridges to the mainland or Manhattan. Because of the islands small size and many pedestrian ways, area residents are able to reach most areas on the island on foot. This is great for pet owners who can enjoy exploring the community with their dog. The community also features three music festivals, hosted throughout the year, just a short walk from residential areas.
The Robert F. Kennedy Toll Road runs through the centre of the island, however, there are several pedestrian crossings under this elevated roadway to allow pedestrians and pets to cross safely to the other side of the island. There is a large park in the north, several greenways, and sports fields throughout the islands, that provide varying developed terrain. Roadways accessing these areas curve and loop and do not follow a grid pattern which makes them great walking paths.
The island itself features several miles of waterfront pathways to enjoy with your canine companion. In the north, the Randall's Island Park is dog friendly, and allows off leash dogs in all areas except where marked, such as playgrounds and sports fields.
Wards Island Park is another large park, further south on the island, that has sports and recreation facilities, a playground, and picnic areas. Dogs need to be on leash in this park.
Parks and greenways may take you in or near protected natural areas such as the Little Hells Gate Salt March or gardens such as the Water's Edge Garden. Watch for signage regarding access for dogs to these areas and leash regulations.
