Dyker Beach Park Dog Run

nice, clean and friendly place. there’s a big grassy field and a sandy area too. water for the dogs as well. parking close.

Beware of the old man with the Doberman !!! It’s really unfortunate that people could be so ignorant. This man brings his aggressive dog to the park and has the nerve to Yell at me after his dog bit my dog. Luckily my dog was not badly hurt. But he had the nerve continue to threaten MY life. I was told that there have been many other incidents of his dog attacking other dogs. It’s seriously a dangerous situation. Someone could get really hurt. It’s such a shame. The dog park seems really nice and it is in good neighborhood.

This dog park has been newly renovated and the construction site is finally done! Everything is cleaner and I’m happy that there aren’t clumps of poo everywhere (pet owners actually clean after their pets now)! The park is much more spacious than before and I enjoy taking my dogs out to play; it’s very clean here and safe to hang around (even after the sun goes down).

Pretty big dog park next to the golf course. Lots of friendly dogs. Water fountains for the dogs didn’t work last time I was there. Very, very dusty.

At last a dog park in the dyker heights area for dogs. On a given weekend, there’s lots of dogs here. It’s fairly nice, one area for big dogs and one small for the little ones. It’s spacious but there’s not much else there. Bring your own water!

After the renovations were finally done, the place looks amazing. Before, the place looked extremely dead and dirty. Now, there seems to be more life to it, and even more furry visitors.
Most the run is made of gravel, and grass surrounding it. They now have 2 sections tot he run — a big dog section and a small dog section. When the weather is nice, we take our fur kids there almost every weekend, that’s if we’re not off hiking. It’s a great place and great way to tire out the fur kids. We’d be there for a couple of hours, and then they’ll be pooped for the rest of the day and night. We have corgis and they’re a pretty energetic breed.
There’s plenty of space for them to run around and most of the people there are friendly. However, like any dog run, there will be incidents at times. There’s usually a group of older men with their pitbulls and rottweilers who think they own the dog run. Their dogs aren’t bad but these owners sometimes fail to control them, so if you do go to this park, just be wary of that group. They’re usually seated at the far right of the park in a pact.
If you stay closer to where the entrance is, that’s where most of the friendlier groups congregate.

Love it! The renovations took a long time (about a year?) but it was totally worth it. I wish it would have opened sooner so we could have enjoyed it in nicer weather but its really wonderful. There is so much space and its clean and designed very nicely. My dog has a total blast each time we go. I love that there are benches now and the tables are great as well. I’m not a fan of the gravel type stuff because my dog gets really dirty in it but the grass around park is lovely.

The renovation of this dog run is amazing!
It has been closed for a over a year. Before renovations it was a space that had hardly any grass, broken chairs, broken picnic tables and poop everywhere. Today, the dog run is filled with green, hearty grass! The middle of the area is covered in small white gravel/​sand. There is even a water fountain for the dogs!
The dog park is split in two-​the large area for the bigger dogs and a small area for the small dogs. Both areas are big enough to allow for running, depending on the size of the dog. I am very pleased with this dog run.
Of course, it is not perfect. The gate doesnt line up with the groove the the cement… so it doesnt lock closed. luckily, the first gate to the dog run locks. Its just the second gate leading to the big dog area doesnt lock. Also, an issue we had with the dog run before the renovations was the garbage. The city hardly ever picks up the trash. It should be done daily. I think its done weekly. NOT ENOUGH. Then there is also dog poop in the far corners of the dog run left by irresponsible dog owners. I dont understand that. you have a dog, clean up there poop. Especially in a dog run. Dogs love to roll in poop… its not good if there are piles of poop everywhere. No one else will clean it up BUT YOU. SO CLEAN UP YOUR DOGS POOP.

The renovations are finally done! It took the city a year to do a few things. What else is new? There is a little dog run and a large dog run. There are new benches to sit on and two water fountains and what looks like a hosing area. There’s a bag dispenser with actual cute bags inside. until they run out. There’s a mixed ground covering for the large dog park. It’s very clean for now. There’s a large gate area where you walk in and then go to one side for the little dogs and the other side for large.
Seems to have a lot of dogs coming here. but you have to watch your dog. Some of the dogs that come here are not particularly social or know how to socialize properly and owners that don’t know how to respond properly either.

Guys fix that park already! our poor dogs miss it. and that guy that is always there better keep an eye on that undisiplined/​aggresive dog of his, when they open again. Just because you there every day that doesn’t mean you own the place.

I’ve been to all the runs in Brooklyn, and this is by far the best.
The ONLY reason why I did not give it 5 stars is because it is missing a water source.
This park is very large, very secure with fencing, and had very responsible dog owners within.
I love this park so much, I moved in across the street! I take my two dogs twice a day, and they have never been happier.
Majority of dogs are MEDIUM to LARGE in size. Small dogs do come, but there is not a separate small dog area.
Hope to see you and your four legged friends there!

Not one of Brooklyn’s best dog runs… but probably its largest.
Things it has going for it:
— Large area
— Good fencing, gates and entry area
— Some shade
Things it has against it:
— No water
— No bathrooms for humans near run
— Dirt ground cover with lots of broken glass
— No permanent seating for humans
— No poop bags, but has an empty dispenser for plastic shopping bags
— Limited shade
— No separate large and small dog runs
Very similar to Owl Head Park Dog Run in that the only reason it got 2 stars is because of its size and fencing. Add a small dog run and bring in water would make it a 3 star run. Go a step further and add better ground cover, shade and permanent seating would make this run a solid 4 star run in my opinion. Area residents and their dogs deserve better than this.
