The small-dog run in Tompkins Square Park has been closed in recent days due to a tree limb that Parks says could potentially endanger both dogs and the public.
A Parks Department source said crews initially arrived with a bucket to make some cuts but found more extensive damage than expected, prompting Forestry to take over.
Staff noted falling bark, cracking limbs and a deeper, less visible crack in the tree.
A service request has been submitted, and Parks is awaiting repairs. (Hopefully it is a repair and not a removal.)
There is no set timeline yet for when the run will reopen.
