Rockaway Freeway Dog Run

Nice open space for dogs to run free. A couple of smaller gated off areas too. No parking. Just pull over to side of road in front of main gates. Bring doggy bags.

Poorly maintained by park dept. Grass is so high it obscures metal sculptures. Dogs can get hurt. Avoid.

Total park for doggies, off leash

Large, clean area for dogs to frolic! Surprisingly quiet for being near the subway. There's a water fountain but didn't see if there were bowls. No designated parking but people seemed to just park on the side of the road. Friendly dog owners and dogs when we were there. There was a second area that was also gated. Another reviewer noted mosquitoes - YES, even on a dry, summy day we were swarmed, so bring bug repellent for the humans. Fun first time!

I happened to bump into this park by accident, and I can't think of any better accident to have. @Cheweries absolutely loved the park because she got to run around without being judged.

It is fun for dogs and owners to socialize. Kept clean 90% . However, there are a few dog owners that are irresponsible with aggressive pups.

Always a good time for our Blake. With the warmer weather the run has a good amount of dogs. Sections for aggressive dogs separate from the main run, I never have to worry that he's in danger. There's also an agility area sectioned off. Great people and wonderful atmosphere. Really a great place to let him get out that extra energy! Highly recommend this place.
