Grassroots planning and organizing by neighborhood residents brought the idea of the Kensington Dog Run to fruition. In 2014, dog owners in the neighborhood started talking with each other about creating a nearby dog run where dogs could enjoy the benefits  of exercising, socializing, and breathing fresh air off-leash. First they talked as individuals, then they met as a group, and then they formed the Kensington Dog Run Association and became a 501(C)(3) non-profit organization.
 
The Kensington Dog Run had its grand opening in Prospect Park Parade Ground on Monday, July 6, 2020. It is open seven days a week, from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.

Within the 7,000 square feet of fenced-in space are separated areas for large dogs and small dogs, canine-friendly turf, benches made from reclaimed wood, water fountains, new trees, dog-waste-resistant shrubs, and
waste receptacles.
 
The Kensington Dog Run Association is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
