The Newly Renovated Dog Beach.....
A one of a kind creation located at the Pools, foot of the path leading
down from the Tennis House - off 9th Street. Summer of 2016 saw a
complete renovation of the original Dog Beach. No more crumbling
cement. They went for an Adirondack look, with a river slate entry
point with raised steps at either end with new plantings. There's even
a stepping stone or two. The new fence was redesigned to allow better
water flow
.
OFFLEASH HOURS ONLY
Alternative to Dog Beach?
Dog paddling is allowed in Prospect Park's Lake from the off-leash meadow known as the Peninsula during off-leash hours ONLY. Note - Peninsula wooded areas are NEVER off-leash!
Be considerate of others! Monitor your dog especially if there's a great disparity of sizes in the water. Dogs are NEVER, EVER allowed offleash in
the water after off-leash hours. We know it's tempting, especially on
weekends, but there are far too many passersby & children - many
whom are afraid of dogs.
