About Kensington Dog Run Association
From its website at https://www.kensingtondogrun.com:
"We are a 501C3 nonprofit group of neighbors who championed for a dog run in the Prospect Park Parade Grounds.
The Kensington Dog Run Association was established to generate community involvement toward creating a new dog run to accommodate the increasing number of dogs and dog owners in the communities surrounding the south end of Prospect Park.Our association welcomes all responsible pet owners and supporters. We successfully secured funding for the project and now focus on maintenance of the dog run and continued community engagement."
Kensington Dog Run opened in July 2020, the result of several years' worth of grassroots community activism. The dog run is located in the Prospect Park Parade Ground at Coney Island Avenue and Kermit Place, Brooklyn, New York. It's open daily from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
