History

Arthur Von Briesen Park, located within Fort Tryon Park on Staten Island, offers a unique off-leash dog area with a surprisingly rich history.

Initially established as a seasonal camp potentially utilized during the 1940s, archaeological investigations unearthed significant pre-colonial debris beneath overhangs, revealing the site's deep connection to the area’s evolution following the British withdrawal – hence the “Tryon” name.

This discovery underscores the park’s role as a site of historical significance, blending its natural beauty with layers of New York's past.

Integrated within the larger Fort Tryon Park, which is home to the Museum of Art and The Cloisters, the dog park provides a distinct outdoor experience.

The park’s design incorporates elements of a botanical garden, showcasing diverse plantings like Heather and Alpine Gardens, creating an engaging environment for both dogs and their owners.

While details regarding specific amenities and current regulations require further verification, Arthur Von Briesen Park represents a unique space where canine recreation intersects with Staten Island’s history and natural landscapes.
