Bronx residents create dog park

Innovating Justice -  Bronx residents and their canine companions can now come together for sun, fresh air, and connection at the Castle Hill Houses’ new dog park—the first one ever to be built on a New York City public housing campus.

Hundreds of residents took the lead in shaping the new community space, which includes room for dogs to run free and play, turf mounds and water fountains, and a barbeque and picnic area. It’s part of an initiative called Green Space Connections, which aims to create new community-designed spaces for public housing residents with support from the Public Housing Community Fund, New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA), the Design Trust for Public Space, and our Neighborhood Safety Initiatives team.
