Carleton Court Dog Park: what do users think?
penelope 2232: Super fun dog park. The ground isn't all rocks like alot of the dog parks are, those hurt my babies feet. So this one was absolutely wonderful. Has a pool for the water loving doggies too. Beautiful place and fun for pooches!
Ketaki Kulkarni: Concrete dog park, pretty good. The water fountain wasn't working.
Pedro Brito: First paved dog park that I ever see.
Emily Zhang: Nice group of people who come to the dog park.
Griffin Reilly: Nice to do a lap of the whole thing
Adam Gnilka: Very nice dog park went there with 2 dogs they had a lot of fun and all the dogs played together.
Mindy: Awesome little dog park stocked with tennis balls and maintained by volunteers. Regulars are nice and there's benches to sit on.Dropped 2 stars through no fault of the park but some of the neighborhood. Recently homeless have taken the benches in the park and there's unsupervised children from nearby apartments using the park and dogs as a playground and toys so now we don't go.
Brandon Gregory: Great neighborhood dog park!
Nolan Guillory: Well kept and safe for pets. Beautiful scenery and not crowded whenever me and my dogs went
Leonel Jiminian: Great place for dogs
Erin Stephens: Great place for dogs. Can get a lil crowded at peak hours though (after work hours) But always clean & the dog I was sitting for LOVES the lil baby pool they have.... GREAT IDEA!!!
Tacaras world: It's great if you have a dog
Sara D Kunz: Dog owners manage their dogs well
Kyle Trusler: Pretty small but cool it exists
Jesse Zapata: Not big enough and all paved, could be a lot better.
Ivan Kozlov: It's not bad but better dog parks in the area like Peter's
Jacob Graham: This dog park is conveniently located in the South End corridor and close to many of the nearby apartments, but can be hit-or-miss depending on the dogs and owners present.The material is similar to a tennis court, but is cracking in places, and drainage can be easily clogged with the two storm drains, particularly during the icy winters. In the fall and winter, it can occasionally take a few days for the park to be shovelled of snow or raked of leaves, but with a tight budget of donations only we are happy to wait. Would love if the trustees made more options for donating or publicised them more widely.As with any dog park there are occasionally people who will bring their pets in and not clean up after them, despite free dog bags being provided. There are also a couple of kiddie pools available as well as a hose, so if you would like to let your pup cool off in the summer they are a great option, but I'd suggest refreshing the water frequently, as a few dogs here would tend to pick up some stomach bugs every summer once the pools are out.We enjoyed taking our dog here and socializing with other owners, and our pup definitely had some close friends among the dogs who went there, but in the last year or so we've noticed a lot more irresponsible owners here who do not pay any attention to their dogs because they are too focused on their cell phones. Sadly this resulted in our dog being attacked while I was unable to handle both dogs, only my own. Please be careful and pay attention to your dog and how it is interacting with others, especially if another owner is asking for your help!Overall, it's a great piece of the neighbourhood and was very convenient for our pup, but please keep your eye on your dog if you bring him!
David Hutchinson: Nice open court space for the dogs to run around. Lots of people bring dogs of all sizes. Good alternative to the gravel dog parks in the area.
Meghan Leonard: I was hoping we would have a better time, but I would NOT recommend this dog park if your dog weighs over 20 lbs. I felt very unwelcome and uncomfortable at this dog park due to a few snobby dog owners( if dog discrimination is a thing that’s what’s happened tonight). If you’re new to the park you will get crazy stares as if you shouldn’t be there. Ugh.. I’m disgusted by my experience here.
juan diaz: My dog Ali love this dog park awesome dog and also friendly dog owner
Olivia Doyon: This is a nice little dog park in a quaint little neighborhood where everyone seems to have a dog (but no one was walking them to the dog park : ) it's clean, there's dog bowls, a hose, toys. And when your dog is the only one in it, it seems pretty big. The only downside is that one of the two entries isn't a double gate. I wish there were other dogs there when I had gone but I otherwise enjoyed it and so did my pup!

Dorchester Shores Reservation: what do users think?
George Ware IV (ABostonArtist.com): Windy Sunday after hurricane 🌀 Ian!
S Goehring: Despite what many dog-owners seem to believe, this is not a dog park and the state requires dogs to be leashed while at the park. It is a public space for everyone - not just dogs and their owners/walkers.
Claudia Galindo: Great place to walk your dog off leash.
Stephen Allison: I've taken my Dog here several times to beat the heat. There are tons of places for her to safely swim. The people and Dogs we've met were friendly. Pepper, my pup, loves chasing the birds and running the paths.
Mari Bel: Great short walk in nature right in the city!
Okella Wood: Our wonderful coastline
Calvina Gadson: Love this place.
David Vaquerano: Un bonito y hermoso lugar para disfrutar en familia o con alguna mascota cofiando que será grandioso ese momento.
john beucler (The thinker): Clean quiet park
Brendan Murphy: I always thought this place would be too loud because you can see it from I93. Not the case.A fairly small loop, still great to be by the water among some trees.
Benn Robbins: Love taking our dog there!
Sheroneik Huggins: A little back cut .... park to chill out
PINK AMOR: One of my dog’s favorite beach to swim off-leash. Even though there are broken glass pieces on the beach, dog parents always get together to clean up the area 💪🏻every Saturdays!.
Shayla Slyman: So lovely there and cant wait to bring my husband and kids for a picnic there.
Edward Roccanti II: Really pretty and relaxing. Did a Zoom meeting there!
Jessica Lynch: Great place!
Michael Crosswhite: Nice little (dog) park with some trails and open spaces. Good view of the water, and not very frequently visited. Can attract sketchy characters for that very same reason though, found a syringe in the parking lot.
Josh Qin: This is a decent place for authentic cantonese food. Great owner that always is friendly and nice.
Willy Gomez.00: Excelente 👌
Boo Ronco: Nice.
Nathaniel Houghton: Real name of the area if called victory park and is one of the best dog parks in Boston. Dog walkers frequent between 10 and 2 on the weekdays and the park is very crowded (with dogs) around those times. Rock beaches, small wooded areas, and lots of mud after a rain. A boat has washed up on shore after a big storm

South Boston Bark Park: what do users think?
William Sangertri: For this 🌅 summer and this whether c as n visit south beach Boston
Jailene Garcia: I took my 7 month old husky girl to this dog park and she enjoyed it 💖
David Perry: Great place to take your dog for some good play time.
Panos G: Its OK.. Compared to the bigger Southie dog park or one of the 2 huge doggie parks in Brookline ( Brookline Ave or Harry Downed) it pales in comparison.. But for a quick park in the area! Its fine..
Antonio Iaccarino: Great spot to bring your dog to socialize. Made some local friends by bringing my pup here, and she made some friends too!The park can be a bit rough and tumble, but hey, that’s life. Owners are generally respectful and mindful to not bring kids who don’t know how to interact with groups of dogs.I have yet to donate (next pay check), but I’d love for there to be a heat lamp and new lights for winter. Everyone gets out of work at 5 and loves to bring their dogs then, but darkness at 4:30 and the cold have prevented that this year.I’m thankful for this local spot and hope you get to enjoy it too.
SUTTIDA S: My dog love to go there!!! Everyday
Kelly Holly: Love So. Boston's parks.
Jaime Cruz: Had a great walk 🚶‍♂️🐕 ☺
Kyle Myers: Not a ton of dogs. It's clean and well maintained so can't complain.
Tiffany Johnson: It was nice
Chad Nelson: The dog park itself was nice it's the locals I felt where unpleasant. It says all dogs welcome but my staffie and I didn't feel welcomed at all.
Stephen Allison: Solid place to take our pup on a rainy day.
Tyler McGeehan: Lots of open space and friendly dogs! We just wished the water fountain worked, but its probably shut off because of COVID.
Michelle LaPointe: I love this park, it's not big but if you don't have a fenced in yard it's perfect!
Emilia Diamant: Small city park. Great dogs!
FunkyMonk44: Convenient location to be able to take your dog somewhere to play outside in a city like Boston!
Michael Barry: Great experience with my pup... Lots of dogs coming and going to the park so he had plenty of puppers to play with. The park has two fenced in areas so you can keep smol bois away from the big doggos if necessary. Love that they have a dog water fountain available. Great time had by all, will return for sure.
queen boston: Gorgeous
James Locascio: Free beach, free parking, restrooms. Clean beach. Dogs allowed. Don’t know what else to say.
Lutrice Dixon: Fun enjoy seeing all different kinds of 🐕
Huu Da Tran: noisy with boulevard near by and door doesn't lock when i went last time.

Hunnewell Park: what do users think?
Tina Diaz: Dog-friendliness: Upon arrival we we're told a little about the Honeywell park. How there's a bunch of friendly people, dogs we were about to meet was called the modern mutts daycare on there way told us there story and welcome us to join them to play then when we were leaving told us more about there hours and welcome us back it's great experience you should go
John McGuinness: Newton seems to run the place why is it located in Brighton?
Matt Hedges: If it’s rained even a little bit the whole off leash park is a mud pit.
Irene Kapsidis: Okay park. The actual enclosed area is quite small. The ranger is always there to enforce that each dog has an “off leash newton permit.” The fee yearly for this is $70. Which is insane! Especially during the pandemic, and the town continues to increase their permit prices. On top of the original dog license you need for the town. Anyways, the ranger kicked us out until I applied for the permit. He stated this “park is the best in New England.” Which is completely disagree, the park itself is small, bumpy/dirty parking area and no water for the dogs!!
Z ZY: Either pay 75 a month or get yelled by the security guard of a dog park (lol) , don't come unless you have one of those precious medallions
Mark Bailey Capalbo: READ the websiteThis is a park shared by park goers and sports enthusiasts alike.You also need a medallion to use the park.I should have investigated it more, but if you're like me, the crotchety old park security guy will yell at you, then you can just pack up your pups and come to the Fillipello Dog Park....which is ACTUALLY a dog park.
Kun Chang: it is a very large area and a great place for dogs. however, you need to pay that Newton city requires dog owners for using it.
Matt Morgan: Fields could use some keeping up, and it isn't very level. Dog park area is fantastic and all fenced in. Update: With the new larger fences in area for dogs, it keeps the people area much nicer.
Dave Sullivan: This was great to stop by occasionally until a local busybody started ruining it. Avoid. Not even Brookline is this insane about enforcing dog permitting stuff! This ranger guy has too much time on his hands.
theo reidy: great fenced in doggie park! there's a kid's playground area, too... but to have a place to get off-leash and run with other dogs is hard to find these days. the dogs have enough social interaction to improve most mild behavioral problems, and the doggie owners are commonly friendly and intelligent. it's off the beaten path. thumbs up!
Sarah Marie Mattin: Awesome place to meet lots of dogs
Jenny Cleaves: Did not feel welcome here. A man watched us park and then rushed to the entrance to block the gate and tell us that our dog needed to have a certain tag to be allowed in and that we needed to pay him if we wanted it. It felt very sketchy and like he was just trying to take money from us. He claimed it was one of the best dog parks but the entire area was just mud and most of the parking was unavailable because of huge puddles and mud that would make you spin your tires. We left immediately and would not return.
Denisse O: Impressed! I have been checking out as many places as I can since I just moved to Massachusetts. This has to be the nicest fully fenced in dog park that I’ve seen so far.Pro: clean, fully fenced, taken care of, many dogsCon: I definitely got lost trying to find the dog park because the GPS took me to a dead end street so just keep that in mind if you’re coming here with a GPS location. There’s actual parking right next to the dog park so look for that entrance instead of the other entrance.
Alexi Vrouvlianis: Best dog park ever!
Morgan Mills: Dog park. Great place to let your dog off leash and run w other dogs
Malcolm McMann: Beautiful. Great hiking & BEAUTIFUL DAM POOL BEACH. Very nice! Perfect for a walk or a date or a nice day by the water even!
Corey Miller: Favorite dog park. Muddy as hell, friendly people. People usually wear masks.All dogs are well trained and play very nicely in my experience!
Tess Suchoff: Hunnewell is where my pup loves to play with her puppy friends! Also, the paw-rents are all very lovely
Kathryn Ogawa: A pretty setting which is easy to find although parking seemed limited. We arrived early in the morning so parking was easy. The off leash area is actually a small wood-barked enclosure however before 9am the dogs were using the larger grassed area. This is a fully fenced area and in great condition. The ranger arrived promptly at 9am so the few people there leashed up their dogs and left. Apparently the ranger checks if you are a local resident or not. It wasn’t crowded and the people there were friendly. Poop bags are available at the entry.
Mike George: 👍 open beautiful
Joe Batista: Its a good size area, fully fenced in. Good for pups. Sometimes someone from the town comes by and you can be fined $50 if you don't have specific dog park tags. Hasn't happened to me yet, but other people have said it has to them.

Jason: Nice park,a little crowded at times
Sean Scott: Great place to bring a dog, just be careful during winter, the snowmelt turns the field to a mud bath!
Nicholas Armata: The best off-leash dog park in the Boston area. Just watch out for doggos that love to snatch doggie toys and run. Lots of space to socialize or just do your thing with your fur baby. Watch out for the baseball diamond, which gets muddy.
Coryann Laliberte: Was fun to enjoy a 65 degree day mid November watching dogs run and play in the park.
Flavio Correa: Muitos faço as minhas refeições gosto muito!!!

Henry Katz: Doubles as the best dog playground in Boston area.
