At the Prospect Park dog run in Park Slope, the blandest of the neighborhood's canine-bearing…read moreconstituency congregate to divulge meandering discourse on the day's events and, worst of all, to pretentiously psychoanalyze their dogs, right down to the last bark and sniff. The Scene: Gathered in the meadow area of Prospect Park, roughly 12 people are loafing around as their canine companions gallop and trot in circles, entertaining themselves in ways that only dogs know how. A quaint, well groomed Maltese named Delila has strayed from the pack. Although in no immediate danger, Delila has caught the eye of a rambunctious young Boxer named Baxter. Baxter has been subject of controversial ramblings withing the dog run community, mostly from owners of small dogs, who feel that his status as an un-neutered, large dog poses a threat to their pooches. In the blink of an eye, Baxter takes off and slides in behind a startled Delila. Like a true pro, Baxter dislodges his lipstick from its case, mounts Delila, and launches into a series of rhythmic hip thrusts. The petite Maltese lets a little yelp, which loosely translates to : "Make this happen, Big Daddy, make this happen!" This impromptu episode of canine copulation alarms some nearby dog parents, who immediately spring into action, prying the mischievous mutts apart. As he is being dragged away, Baxter stares down at the grass forlornly, knowing that he was only seconds away from Milking the Bone. Two different dog owners agree to guard Delila and Baxter while their respective owners meet underneath "The Understanding Tree" to discuss what has just transpired. Baxter's master is Jacob, a 29 year old investment banker who finds new music by plugging in Arcade Fire on Amazon.Com and finding out what other users purchased. Audrey, doting dog mother to Delila, is a 32 year old, Harvard educated attorney who puts in 80+ hours a week at a well known white shoe law firm in midtown Manhattan. By all accounts, the dog run IS her social life, albeit a small one at that. With their dogs safely apart, Jacob and Audrey delve into a analysis of Baxter's play for Delila: Audrey: I think Delila was leaving the dog circle to have some alone time Jacob: Baxter sensed she was in danger, so he was attempting to draw her back in. Audrey: Draw her back in...doggy style? Jacob: Baxter would never harm Delila! Audrey: If I understand the manner in which he was panting, I suppose Baxter was trying to communicate his anxiety and fears over the potential loss of Delila to the rest of the group. And the way he moped and frowned when we pulled them apart...he was sad because he feared that Delila still might be in danger. Jacob: That's what I'm telling you, Audrey. *Audrey and Jacob hug as the remainder of the dog run parents erupt into applause.* What most of the dog run parents fail to realize is that Baxter was just trying to get laid. In fact, if the dog run parents followed Baxter's example and tried to get laid themselves, they would likely spend fewer hours at the dog run assembling a master's thesis on Canine Psychology. In some alternate universe, the dogs are running the show, and they bring the people to the people run, and talk about real dog stuff. Jack Russel: Dude, did you smell that Bichon Frise ass over on Garfield Place this morning? That was off the hook! Dobie Pincher: Was it rubbed up against the fire hydrant near the corner of 7th??? Jack Russel: That's the one! Dobie Pincher: I KNOW her man...that's the crazy thing. I saw her once at the people run...with no human! Scotty Dog: What kinda a broad comes to the people run with no people? Dobie: Same kind that rubs her ass on every street lamp between here and 12th Street. *laughs* Scotty: Here comes Bull Dog. Bully: Hey boys...wanna get together and play poker later? Dobie: Poker? What does this look like? A painting? *laughs* Bully: Kiss my ass, Dobie! Dobie: Not my type, tubby! Jack Russel: Yo Scotty. Your human is following that chick behind the tree over there. Scotty: That's cool. He definitely needs to get laid.

All the parks around our way was really crowded so we decided to venture off and find one they would enjoy. They were able to get their own bball hoop to play around.

Surprisingly it wasn't even loud either.

This is the best spot for a child's scooter ride. The area really needs more benches for adult seating. There are only a few in the very large area. The fenced back portion of the park consists of a courtyard with rest rooms. There are also two fenced play areas, one for smaller children, with jungle gyms and swings. One side of the park faces the neighborhood Carroll School. Could this technically be the front of the park? The park is fine for use in the neighborhood. But it would benefit from an update and sprucing up. New brighter colored playground equipment, a sand area and more benches would be a great start.

There are a few tables and benches inside the park as well, so owners can relax, enjoy a snack, and chat while their dogs run around and burn off some energy.

Pros: -I went on a rather chilly day where there weren't many dogs so I'm not sure if it's like this all the time, but the area was nice and clean (no dug up holes or scattered leaves). It also helps that the location is by the highway so there's not a lot of foot traffic. -The people who frequent the area are really friendly and they supervise their dogs. When I went, there were only two other dogs but they were well mannered and the owners stopped them if the play got too rough. -Decent amount of shade if you visit in the summer Cons: -Dirty water bowls were there, but no access to a hose or fountain to clean them or provide dogs with water. Bring your own, especially if you go during the summer. -Only one picnic table. If you're the type to sit and watch, this may not be the place for you. It shouldn't matter though..as long as the pup has fun, right? -No separate section for small dogs -Nothing for dogs to engage with (unless you count tree stumps). Bring a toy just incase there's no one there or if your dog is fine with just exploring and sniffing around then you should be good!

The crown of the park is the Prison Ship Martyr's Monument, that marks the lives of 11,000 people held captive by the British in ships in Wallabout Bay. PLAYGROUNDS - two, one on the south east corner for 5 and under and one on the west side that is good for all ages. The south east playground has a water sprinkler, four swings, and play equipment. The west side playground has a big kid playground with two ten foot high lookout towers, a water sprinkler shaped like a compass, six bucket swings, and a toddler sized playground. The west side playground also has bathrooms, which are well... used frequently. RANGER STATION - The station has restrooms, water fountains outside, and an assortment of critters (corn snake, stick bugs, gold fish). You can pick up a map to follow the "Tree Trail," bird watching brochure, or nature scavenger hunt. A junior ranger program also supports kids and teens in the neighborhood. The station is next to a mini fort that invites kids to climb, play look out, and creates a little space to gather. FARMER'S AND MAKER'S MARKET - Saturday Mornings! A great selection of veggies, fruit, flowers, honey, cider, baked goods, clothing/compost drops. Vendors leave when things sell out. Makers markets seem to rotate, but there's usually coffee, jewelry, baskets, clothing, soap, perfume, and something for dogs. VOLUNTEERING - Fort Greene Park Conservancy organizes gardening and community events that always need a hand. DOG POLICY - while there is no official dog park, there is a very robust dog community that shows up at off leash hours (before 9am and after 9pm). Park rangers will patrol at 9am sharp to enforce leashes on. Lawns open for off leash hours will rotate seasonally to help the grass grow. Please be a responsible pet owner, it can get rowdy. SPORTS - a basketball court and calisthenics equipment (Myrtle side), tennis court (middle), abundant hills for sledding in the winter. JOGGING - the outer perimeter of the park has a jogging trail, people tend to go counterclockwise. Its a mile and there are hills. Runners tend to be respectful. Path is dirt and gravel. EVENTS - summer movie nights! hop along andrew playing music for the kids! musical events! Drum line practice! Buskers! Dog costume contest for Halloween! Dance workshops with Cumbe! Holiday Tree lighting! NATURE - lots of huge old trees, well kept gardens and pollinator flower beds. Look out for the hawks that nest here in spring, woodpeckers, and song birds. BBQ and PICNIC TABLES: BBQ is Myrtle side of the park. Additional picnic table on the east side, Washington and Willoughby, north of the baby playground. First come first served, there is no reservation system.
