Chelsea Riverside Dog Run

Plopped down in the Chelsea Waterside Park on 22nd Street, off the West Side Highway, is the city’s most modern—and stylish (it is West Chelsea, after all)—dog run. While other runs are lined with stinky woodchips, this one’s made of special asphalt that stays cool and is cleaned twice a day. Owners relax on benches while dogs scamper around the four hills, and there's even a stream to lap from.
