Boston is a wonderful city to explore with a dog by your side. From off-leash runs and shaded walking paths to community events and pet-friendly green spaces, dog parks in Boston and the surrounding area offer something for every kind of pup and every kind of owner. Whether you're visiting for a weekend or staying a little longer, getting outside with your dog is one of the most enjoyable ways to experience the city.
Red Roof® welcomes pets at participating locations, so you and your furry travel companion can settle in comfortably before heading out to explore. Explore some of the best dog parks and off-leash spaces in Boston and the surrounding area when visiting the city with dogs.
Located in Boston's South End, the Joe Wex Dog Recreation Space at Peters Park is Boston's first city-sanctioned off-leash dog park. Opened in 2007, the park offers more than 13,000 square feet of space, including a separate area for small dogs. The volunteer-supported park is known for its welcoming community atmosphere and well-maintained grounds, making it a popular spot for local dogs and their owners.
Located in nearby East Cambridge, Timothy J. Toomey, Jr. Park includes a dedicated fenced dog run with a dog-friendly drinking fountain, seating, and shade. The dog run is part of the larger two-acre park rather than a two-acre off-leash area. Visitors should note that Cambridge off-leash spaces require dogs to have a current Cambridge license.
Located at Bremen and Porter Streets in East Boston, Bremen Street Dog Park is a dedicated dog facility operated by Massport. The roughly 22,655-square-foot park features exercise equipment, pet waste stations, and water fountains, giving dogs a designated space to play and exercise.
Boston Common includes a designated rotating off-leash area where dogs can enjoy time outside in one of the city's best-known public spaces. The rotating designation means the specific off-leash location can change, so check the current Boston Parks Department information before visiting for the latest location, schedule, and rules.
Located in Boston's historic North End, RUFF Prince Street Dog Park at DeFilippo Playground is managed by RUFF (Responsible Urbanites for Fido). The park features K-9 turf, a water-play area, agility features, and separate areas for dogs under 25 pounds and larger dogs, giving dogs of different sizes space to play and socialize.
