DeWitt Clinton Park Dog Run

This is a great dog park, except for one thing: The kiddie pool. It’s disgusting. What you see in the pictures was perhaps true a few years ago. Now it’s a decrepit, slimy bath that people fill in and all the dogs pee in. Then the water stagnates for a few days, and then I bring my hound mix here so she can jump in and wallow immediately in the dirty water. This requires bath-​time right after the park.
Is this sustainable on a daily, or even a weekly basis? No.
Best of all is the quasi-​mafia of other dog people here who consider themselves regulars and who aren’t friendly to the concern about the water being gross.
Someone should put a little separation between the kiddie pool area and the rest of the run. Or, get a newer, cleaner pool.

Not that bad, but no grass for your pup at this run.
Things it has going for it:
— Has water for dogs, but you have to bring water during late fall, winter and early spring since city shuts water off
— Separate large & small dog runs
— Adequate seating for dog owners
— Plenty of shade during the summer
— Area to hose off your dog
— Good fencing & gates
— Kiddie pool
Things it has against it:
— No bathrooms near run for humans
— Parking (Its the same as all other dog runs in Manhattan for the most part)
— This run is all concrete/​asphalt so it does get hot during the summer
— No poop bags
— No water available in small dog run
Its all concrete construction feels a little too austere for my taste.
