WE OFFICIALLY WON THE BATTLE FOR OUR PARK!! THE CITY HAS FORMALLY GRANTED OFF-LEASH PRIVILEGES IN THE GRASS AREA AND I AM BEYOND THRILLED!! THANK YOU TO ALL 233 PEOPLE WHO SIGNED THIS AND PROVED THAT OUR DOGS DESERVE A SPACE TO RUN FREE!!
We the undersigned strongly support the formalization of off-leash privileges with respect to the large open grass area situated within Historic Battery Park. This would be consistent with the off-leash rules for designated parks as set forth in the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation Rules and Regulations. These off-leash hours had been a long-standing (over 10 years) accommodation traditionally extended to the responsible dog-owning members of the community. Off-leash privileges in Battery Park have resulted in no damage to the Park and, to the contrary, have greatly enhanced quality of life for local residents, by providing a much-needed recreation area for local pets and by making the Park safer for all residents during the hours in which off-leash use had been permitted.
THIS MOMENTUM IS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE AND IT SHOWS JUST HOW MUCH OUR COMMUNITY DESERVES THIS SPACE!! I AM BEYOND STOKED TO SEE ALL THIS ENERGY FUELING OUR MISSION TO SECURE OFF-LEASH HOURS FOR OUR DOGS!!

I just moved here from San Francisco and really appreciate the opportunity to let my dog Grady have off-leash time close to my new home. I want you to know that I always clean up after Grady and want to do everything I can to keep the park in good condition and open to friendly dogs.

Battery Park needs to stay dog friendly. Its the only green space we have in this part of town.

Living in the city is hard enough with a dog. We need these hours so our pets can actually get some energy out.
