Brooklyn Bridge Park Dog Run, (aka Main Street Dog Run), is not our favorite dog run for sure. Not all dog parks can be winners and this one below average. We give honest reviews here and this park, located in Brooklyn Bridge Park under the Manhattan Bridge, makes a good use of space that otherwise would be empty, but the fact is, the location is incredibly loud with the trains passing overhead constantly.
