We had a full dog friendly adventure in Roosevelt Island! Here is the itinerary!

We started the day by taking the Roosevelt Island Tram from 60th st & 2nd Ave over to the island. The trams costs the same as a subway swipe and if you’ve never taken one, we highly recommend it, as it’s a truly unique experience. Their site says dogs are allowed in bags, same rules as a subway, but we ended up carrying Benji on and it was just fine.

South Slope Dog Run is a great little dog run tucked in a tiny triangle of land by the highway. It has a natural dirt surface, a few trees, picnic tables, and a large igloo container for water, meaning there was water even when most parks had their water off for the season still. It has great community vibes including a donation box, ball bin, and water jug bin.

Domino Park dog run is located right along the river in Domino Park this park and has a great view. It is a pretty small dog run with only one section and can get pretty crowded so it can limit space for running around. It does have a fun hill in the center and astroturf all around and not the most room to run around when it’s busy but it’s nice to have an off leash space if you’re spending time along the river.

The Carl Schurz Dog Run located in the Carl Schurz Park on the Upper East Side of Manhattan is a gorgeous park and dog run. This park has two separate dog runs.

The small dog section is a separate area along the water with a beautiful river view.
