Description
New York City is a dog-friendly city, where a significant amount of households own at least one or more dogs. Compact as Manhattan is, the area left for dog park is limited. To justify if there is an sufficient amount of dog parks around Midtown Manhattan, we could start from analyzing the distribution of green space around the area and learning the dog walking patterns the owners have.
