J. Hood Wright Park Dog Run

Very nice park 👌 👏 my frechy ❤️ love it.

This dog park is far too small for the number of dogs that actually go there. This really leads to the question of cleanliness because the sand in the dog run is noticeably old and a little dirty. On the flip side, the park is fine nicer than it used to be and far more people go here now than they did ten years ago

J. Hood Wright Park is a Secret spot in Washington Heights with a fantastic view of the George Washington Bridge and New Jersey. Enjoy in the morning and evening as the sun goes down.

I’ve been coming here for 3+ years. It has since changed from when I went as a kid. The wood chips and weak fences are gone. There is a water station for the pups. The only major problem is since 2 years ago, they have removed our trash cans and never replaced it. It’s extremely frustrating now that we only have a garbage bag tethered to the fence and volunteers are usually the ones who replace it and take it outside of the gate for the park to clean up. Every year the gravel should be changed and refilled but they neglect to do it every time. It’s a good park and everyone always engages with one another. The problem I would say is how it lacks shaded areas during the summer or how small and popular the park is. Usually on weekends or during the summer the run has like over 15 dogs and there usually always a fight. It isn’t separated big dog/ small dog areas so little munchkins get trampled sometimes.

An incredible park for many outdoor activities. There is a basketball section with 4 hoops. A wall-ball section i dont know the formal name to the game. A George Washington Bridge play ground for kids to enjoy. Known for it's dog park and looped joggers pavement. Great chess master who play outside during warm weather and inside the community center during cool weather. Best part about this park is the overlook terrace of the George Washington Bridge for stunning pictures. Just a remarkable park and anyone is welcome!
