Pier 6 Dog Run

The dog park is better since they changed the gravel, but the water fountain doesn't always work and your dog is going to get dirty no matter what. Still, being right by the water is quite nice.

Noisy, tiny, and empty when I visited. My dog had trouble running on the gravel.

Unless your dog lifts weights and has paws the size of dinner plates I'd avoid this park on account of the large rocks they have decided is suitable for a floor. Smaller dogs can't even run in the park and are relegated to the concrete bench so their paws don't hurt.

Perhaps we should organize a hostile takeover of the nearby children's playground using the aforementioned weight lifting dogs, that place looks a lot more fun...

Horrible park. No grass or dirt. The "park" is layered with pebbles which get extremely hot. Theres no actual shade. Its too small. And there are too man untrained owners there. Every two seconds there is a problem because of an untrained owner. I'll never be going back. Take your dog somewhere else.

Took my boys there today, but was disappointed when I arrived. First of all the point on the map is wrong and there is no clear direction where it is located. There is one directional sign next to the water on the pier which points towards Atlantic. The dog run is located across from the pier between Joralemon St and Furman next to the parking garage.
First its a very clean and wide open run. Gravel filled with a place to water and even shower your dog/s. But unfortunately on a nice hot and sunny day there was virtually no shade. There is a raised around surround the run for people to sit, which is where the dogs preferred to hang out. The entire gravel area was exposed to direct sun light.
Would have loved if they had some shade in the middle as well as stuff for the dogs to climb and jump on/over.
