Local Tips from Williamsburg Dog Owners

  • McCarren Park dog run gets packed on weekend mornings - arrive before 9 AM for the best experience
  • The Williamsburg Bridge pedestrian path is a fantastic 1.5-mile walk with your dog to the Lower East Side
  • Domino Park waterfront is not off-leash but the paved paths are ideal for leashed walks with river views
  • Cooper Park dog run in East Williamsburg is much less crowded than McCarren and worth the walk
