I love how clean the park is kept. It benefits from shade from the trees during the summer yet never has leaves in the park in the fall! I also love how close this park is to me.

There's a dog park literally two blocks away at Stevens Park. There needed to be another one, why? Lazy dog owners!!! It's loud and it smells. I live halfway up the block on 2nd St. The barking bounces off the buildings and echoes through the street. Bonus: A small area with fake grass that smells like urine and feces every time you walk by. Yum.

I visited this dog park on a warm day in February with melting snow. People were shoveling the…read moreremaining snow off the play area.It is a large space and there were about 10 dogs/owners there. I have walked by this park many times but had never seen it. This is because you need to look up to find it. It is 20 feet or more above the esplanade situated at the corner where the walk turns away from the Hudson towards Brookfield mall. .You can access the dog run from setback steps off the river walk or once you turn away from the river, there is a ramp. At the entrance to the dog run there are two gates.The second gate is a bit rusty and difficult to slide. Sirius run is for any size dog . Big and little dogs are all together. Since my dog Mickie is small, I was a bit concerned. All was fine and Mickie relaxed. The owners kept an eye on their dogs. The Park has a nice view of the Hudson and its arrangement next to a kids playground is nice.

This is the dog run for the Financial District. I've been bringing my dog here for about a year now…read moreand I don't see anything changing that for years to come. A little history. This dog run is named after PAPD K-9 Sirius #17. He was a bomb sniffing yellow lab who served in the World Trade Center. He died during the 9/11 attacks when Tower Two collapsed. His body was recovered and he was posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross. There used to be a plaque that explained all this, but I'm not sure where it went. It's not the largest dog run I've been to, but it's a decent size for most dogs. There's no partition so small and large dogs play together. It's paved, which I prefer to using gravel for the ground. There are two hills and one crater that fills up with water and becomes a pool. It automatically drains itself as well. There's a two-level water fountain off to the side. One level for dogs and one for people. I have often seen someone spray the pavement down with a hose at night, so I know this dog run is definitely cared for. There are nice benches all along one side. Overall it's a very nice-looking dog park. The park itself is elevated a bit so you can look out on to the plaza and the North Cove Marina. There's nothing like spending an hour or so enjoying the afternoon with your dog overlooking the water and people watching. I think what really makes this an enjoyable experience though, is the people. The other dog owners are courteous and friendly. There's a sense of community among the regulars. If you live downtown, this is the place to bring your dog!

The bad reviews of this dog park surprise me, I've had nothing but lovely experiences here…read more I'm personally a fan of concrete dog parks, as it's a huge bummer to take a dog to the park, only to have to give your dog a bath right away upon returning. You don't have to worry about mud, and if there's rain in the forecast, you're protected by the FDR overhead. Given the location (at the end of Wall Street), most of the dogs seem to be well trained, vaccinated, licensed, and the owners have been responsible and courteous to other patrons using the space. You can't always say the same for other dog parks (like Tompkins), where there's no real vetting process to ensure your dog won't get attacked by an aggressive dog off the street.

Little dog park in FiDi, right under the FDR. Come here often only because it's a 5 min walk from…read moremy building, but not my favorite dog park. It is quite small, and feels overcrowded the minute 5 or more dogs are there. It is 100% concrete, and because it seems to retain moisture, it is often a little slippery, and filled with sludge (my dog always comes home with filthy paws). The park is under a bridge, so it is protected from most of the elements (rain and snow), which also unfortunately means all of the pee puddles remain on the ground. Also, because it's all concrete, I often times can't stay too long because my dog's paws will bleed from running around. Appears to be a water fountain in the dog park, that I assume they turn off for winter, but it's April and warm and still not on. Have encountered a few aggressive/annoying dogs (and owners), but it is not the norm for this dog park (and is expected at any dog park). There is no separate section for small dogs, and people continue to bring 5 on dogs that have trouble hanging with the big ones (almost always creates a fight). Cool views of Seaport and Brooklyn at night, just note that several homeless sleep near one of the entrances (the side facing Industry Kitchen).

We brought a bottle of water for Ham, but it would be nice if they had water fountains here like they do at the other doggy parks. One thing I did notice this time though: the fence. Along one side of the fence, the bottom of the bars stick out and face in towards the dog run area. Just eye level for my little guy. It makes me nervous when the dogs are playing and run along it. I don't think they'd intentionally run right into it, but accidents happen. All fun and games, till someone loses an eye!

Access is for Shipyard residents only...there is not a key fob system to get in and nobody asks what your doing there. This run is definately a plus for the residents but may not be worth the trip since parking is a pain. Add water and a separate dog run for small dogs and this is a solid 4 star run. Add some shade and this could be a 5 star run. Dog runs/parks I have been to so far: http://www.yelp.com/list/nyc-area-dog-parks-runs-queens-4
