August 2025 kicked off with what North Shore Animal League calls DOGust 1, the official birthday of rescue dogs. Their Port Washington adoption center is marking the occasion with 50% off adoption fees for all animals aged four months and older through August 10. In the city, adoption organizations like ACC, Best Friends, Bideawee, and Korean K9 Rescue are hosting mobile adoption events throughout the month.
When adopting a dog, one of the biggest questions is where to walk it. Studies show that buildings near the most popular parks in all boroughs are most popular among dog owners. However, some building located both near parks and further afield have gone one step further by making dog runs part of their amenity packages. Some buildings cover their dog runs for inclement weather; in all buildings, this amenity adds another level of convenience. Additionally, while the dogs might get skittish in a public park's dog run packed with canine and human strangers, a building's private dog run would allow them to familiarize themselves with neighboring dogs and even make friends.
In this article:
Below, we look at condos and rentals with dog runs among their amenity packages. While it's true that this particular amenity caters to dogs, cat owners shouldn't feel left out - the apartments have oversized windows that allow our feline friends to bask in the sun and watch birds.

Manhattan View at MiMa (Brown Harris Stevens)
Before construction began on a long-awaited new Port Authority Bus Terminal, Hell's Kitchen residents were disappointed to learn that local dog park Astro's Dog Run would have to close during construction with no word on when or if it would reopen. However, Manhattan View at MiMa takes some of the sting out of that for residents. Their amenity package includes New York City's first in-building dog spa, which has access to an outdoor dog run.

11 Hoyt is located in close proximity to Fort Greene Park, but residents enjoy a 27,000-square-foot private park built on a two-story base. Between the relaxation areas, communal garden, fitness deck, grilling and dining stations, hot tub, and covered dog run, it offers almost as many perks as a public park.

Rentals
3 Eleven (Clinton Management)
At public dog runs in the city, it is increasingly common practice to have two separate areas for large and small dogs. However, that was the case at Hudson Yards-adjacent rental 3 Eleven from the start. The pair of dog runs is located on an outdoor terrace, and the building offers an on-site care and training facility run by Throw Me a Bone.
Waterline Square (Evan Joseph)
Indoor play area (Far Fetched)
The three buildings of the Waterline Square complex are centered around a new public park ideal for walking dogs. Residents also enjoy access to the exclusive, 100,000-square-foot Waterline Club of amenities, which also caters to dogs with an indoor play room, a training studio, a pet spa, and a residents-only canine club run by celebrity dog trainer Colleen Safford.
AVA DoBro (Avalon Bay Communities)
AVA DoBro was among an early crop of amenity-rich Downtown Brooklyn rentals, and this one caters to its canine residents almost as well as its human residents. It offers a pet spa as well as a dog run with separate big and small breed play areas, agility equipment, and a heated pergola for pet parents to gather on chilly days.
The MC (Corcoran New Development)
The MC is located at the nexus of Bedford-Stuyvesant and Bushwick, allowing for easy access to the best dining, retail, and nightlife in two dynamic Brooklyn neighborhoods. However, the building's amenity package caters so well to every lifestyle that residents may not need to leave. This includes pet parents: There is a pet washing station in the building, and the building's roof deck includes a private dog run.
Jackson Park (Tishman Speyer)
Residents of the three buildings of Jackson Park enjoy access to over 120,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor amenities. At the heart of it is a Great Lawn with table tennis and bocce courts, grilling stations, a communal dining area, a seating piazza, a children's playroom, and a dog run.
