Best dog runs (with parking nearby)?
We're moving to Greenwood Heights from a little farther north, and one of my goals for this summer/year was to get my dog back to the dog run more regularly. Our new area (on 4th ave) seems to have loads of parking, so I thought maybe coming and going at any hour won't pose a threat to not finding another spot. And since I have a car, why not pop my dog in it and drive to a dog run in southern Brooklyn? So I was wondering which dog runs (looks like the choices are Owl's Head and Dyker Beach, but also I could drive up to McGlorick or McCarren, there's usually ok parking around there, too, am I missing any others?) dog owners felt were the safest, best and knew there was a pretty good selection of parking around the perimeter of the park. My dog is 32lbs, gets a little snippy with new dogs (warning growling/snapping), but is good with small and medium sized dogs. I'd like to find a park that isn't too crowded, nor too aggressive, that we can go to several times a week. Thanks!

For those days when you might not feel like driving...I'm working with a group of other neighborhood residents on the creation of a legal dog run in the area (18th Street at 7th Ave). PM me if you'd like more info or to join the effort!

The Owl's Head dog park is no more. DOT (or some other agency) has taken back the space for maachinery & such. Don't know the details.
Howdy, Stranger!
