Dogs are welcome in New York City Parks, but must be kept on a leash no longer than 6 feet at all times, except in dog runs and designated off-leash areas at the prescribed times. Some park areas allow dogs to be off-leash from the time the park opens until 9 a.m. and from 9 p.m. until the park closes. Dogs are not permitted in playgrounds, zoos, fountains, ball fields, on basketball/handball/tennis courts, in swimming pools/facilities, bathing areas, and New York City beaches (except certain beaches).
