UPPER WEST SIDE, NY — A popular Upper West Side dog run got a new patch of grass on Thursday after a generous gift from a neighborhood donation group.
Volunteers helped install an 18 by 22 foot patch of canine grass on Thursday at the Bull Moose Dog Run within the Teddy Roosevelt Park at West 81st Street and Columbus.
The grass patch was donated by a member of the Buy Nothing 76-90th Street UWS, which is a group where neighbors share belongings free of charge with one another.
