New York City may be a concrete jungle, but that doesn't mean there aren't places to relax amoung the trees! Besides Central Park, New York City contains several other parks to spend some time, several of which are only a couple minutes away from the Museum of the Dog. Many parks also offer free programming for families of all ages–after you explore the Museum of the Dog, explore the great outdoors!
