What We Can Do

Isham Park has seen a recent increase in assaults during the evening hours. The earliest time was 6:30 pm, the evening of the park concert (June 8th).

After long conversation/discussions with the 34 Pct., it was revealed that there are NO NYPD FOOT PATROLS assigned to Isham Park. This alone is ridiculous. We have to organize to take back our park and make it a safe space for all.

Dogs are never allowed off-leash during the hours that most children play in Isham Park. The Off-leash Hours generally take effectfrom 9pm to 9am, but are restricted and conform to the official closing and opening hours of each individual New York City park.

Dog owners, like those of Dogs of Isham Park, take a great interest in keeping the parks clean and safe and work hard to self-police off-leash rules in the parks to preserve the 20 year old Off-leash Hours policy. We are willing to pay for and maintain a "doggie station" equipped with bags and waste receptacles.We are the most frequent users of NYC parks, utilizing the parks in all four seasons, in all types of weather, day and night, every day of the year.
