The Department of Parks & Recreation has put a temporary pause on issuing Commercial Dog Walking Permits as we update our policies. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding. Please check back in the spring.

Permits for individual dog owners continue to be issued. 

Overview

A valid permit is required for all dogs entering Paws Place Dog Park. This ID must be carried at all times when in the park with your dog. Paws Place permits are valid on a rolling calendar year. For a complete list of rules, please see here. 

Permits may be obtained in the Parks and Recreation office daily from 8:30am - 4:00pm, or by emailing the following information to info@newrochelleny.com.

Requirements:

• Proof of Residence (Driver's License)
• New York State Dog License, which can be obtained in The City Clerk's Office for New Rochelle residents. Non-residents should check with their local clerk's office.
