The goal of the Friends of Lefferts Dog Run (FLDR) is to establish a community-managed dog run on Lefferts Place in the MTA-owned empty lot under the Franklin Avenue subway line. The run will allow dogs to exercise and socialize safely, without bothering pedestrians or endangering themselves.

The run would provide a meeting place for dog owners to socialize and will foster a sense of community among dog owners, friends, and neighbors. Off-leash dog parks promote responsible dog ownership for those who are willing to uphold the park’s rules and restrictions with respect for their neighbors and community at large.

The FLDR will maintain, monitor, and manage the dog run with assigned daily upkeep and quarterly Clean Up Days for members.
