History of the Kensington Dog Run
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.
Description of the Kensington Dog Run
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 Dog Run is open seven days a week, from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
