Save Your Offleash Park Areas - Contact NYCdog to Make it Official

NOTICE TO ALL NYCdog GROUPS - INCLUDING THOSE WITH DOG PARKS - AND FRIENDS.

As quickly as possible, we need to know as many parks and areas that people have traditionally used for off-leash recreation. This is important as we are meeting with Parks to fine-tune their list of parks where off-leash is allowed.

DO NOT ASSUME THAT BECAUSE YOU OR OTHERS HAVE ALWAYS USED A SPECIFIC PARK FOR OFF-LEASH THAT IT WILL CONTINUE TO BE ALLOWED AS AN OFF-LEASH PARK.

First check the Parks Department's list:

On the Parks website, they now have a list of all larger NYC parks:
http://nycgovparks.org/sub_your_park/park_list/index.html

We also know that these are areas where problems have arisen under the new rules:

1) Manhattan – Stuyvesant Park, East Side Park, East River Park, Battery Park, Seravalli Park, Gansevoort Park
2) Brooklyn – Marine Park (oval), Prospect Park (extended hours)
3) Queens – Toursney Park

Think, people, think! Think of other parks that you know are off-leash areas now. Let us know ASAP so we can add them to the list of parks under discussion with Parks.

Time is short...
