When we came here last night, the doggy waste bags were fully stocked! Last Saturday must have been…read morea busy day for dog poop! 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!

One of the better, if not the best dog run/park in North New Jersey I have found so far…read more Things it has going for it: - Synthetic turf - Not a lot of wear and tear - Clean - Adequate seating for humans - Safe area/park - View of Hudson River Things it has against it: - No bathrooms for humans near run - No water - No shade - Can get windy - No separate large and small dog runs - Access for Shipyard residents only Have been on a dog run/park tour and this is in my opinion one of the best dog runs in Northern New Jersey I have found so far.This is more like a 3.5 star run. 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
