Best Dog Park Cambridge Near Me

Arun Sannuti: A lot of people don’t pick up their dogs business. And it’s just gravel. No grass.

Tekie Anday: Very convenient parking lot next to the dog park. Trail walk and lots of other fun place.

Katelyn D: Nice dog park but could be better, large pile of rocks in small dog area makes it easy for them to jump the fence

Derek Oliver: Good spot to let the pups play off leash!

Kelly Hassett: Facilities: Just an empty gravel lot, fenced. Water has always been off when I visit. Never seen any supplied poo bags despite the other parks having them. No lights, the area should have more lighting period as it's uneven.Dogs: in the mornings there are no problems, all dogs are well socialized and friendly with responsible owners.Afternoon is a different story, a completely different set of dogs. Afternoon crew has aggressive dogs, dogs with resource guarding issues (don't bring any balls) dogs who aren't well socialized, who aren't friendly and bite.If you have a reactive or otherwise anxious dog I would suggest staying away, especially during the afternoon.I would advise parents to be careful bringing small children in with the dogs.

Beth Budner: Very spacious & lovely place to go to! Beth Budner, Auburndale!

Erin Papaleo: Gave in and finally took him to a dog park which we both loved so glad we went. Huge area's will be definitely going again

Josh Morimoto: Turn the water on.You cowards.

Scott Shedeck: Great dogs here.

Robyn Steinerman: Decently sized dog park with a parking lot, small dog and time out areas, and gravel. Larger than thorndike dog park, I believe. I wish the fence was maybe a few inches taller, but that is definitely just my anxiety talking.

Raven R: Not a great dog park in my opinion. The issue is mostly with the owners who have no control over their dogs (which is probably why they frequent a dog park in the first place—to get out their energy with as little effort as possible so they’re not terrors at the house. Terrors at the dog park is A-OK though). Basic dog park etiquette is to not let your dog crowd the entrance to another dog or essentially ‘fence fight’ with a dog trying to enter. When we were trying to enter there was just a dog completely losing its mind at the gate so much so I could barely open the gate and the owner just sat there staring. When we finally got in that dog and the couple of other dogs there just completely start going after my dog in an aggressive way. Again, crickets from the owners. I tried to give them a couple of seconds to work it out but my dog just kept being forced to hide under the benches and bare his teeth which was enough for me. The owners did *nothing* I had to shoo away the dogs myself and pick up my dog and leave. Finally as we were leaving the owner of the fence fighting dog said we didn’t have to leave and she would leash her dog, but I had seen enough. Do yourself a favor and just spend 10-15 outside of the park before you go in just to see the situation for yourself and if it’s something you want to subject your dog too. I’ve since been back to this dog park to train my dog (at a distance; not inside) and saw mayhem. Dogs eating and rolling in poop, vast majority of dogs not coming when called bc they were playing to rough with other dogs, dogs aggressively resource guarding balls, etc. All of this is normal but the problem is the owners do nothing. They don’t pick up after their dogs, they don’t intervene when their dog is playing too rough or being a bully, and they just let their dogs keep balls even if they know it’s causing a problem.I can see it’s merits as a dog park but our experience there just wasn’t great.

Joe Ekiert: Excellent large location for letting your dog run around with others. And if you have a puppy or just need to give your pup a time out, there are two smaller but still large and fenced in areas.Great spot! Worth visiting with your pup

Ivan Singer: Well managed friendly dogs, a great place for dogs to blow off steam. This park attracts young overprotective couples who bring in food and treats, then get annoyed when surrounded by dogs.

Hendrick Melo: Great place for dogs to run. Since it's Cambridge there are always dogs here. Could have a few more obstacles than just a couple of large rocks. But it's a great place to get your pooch tired.

Luke Malone: It's ok

Kyle Andrade: Nice park, has some shade, a water station for the pups and plenty of room for them to run. Lot of nice dogs there.

Johanna Schulman: Large well enclosed mostly gravel area for dogs to play in. Small seating area for humans. Dog bags provided. Double doors for safe entry and exit.

Michael Pinola: Well it was closed when I got there. A closed dog park. With a 3 ft fence. Please. We had a good time

John Vittner: Lots of open space - probably 8-10 dogs there of all types and sizes. All had great temperaments and got along.

Sakura Naomi Tsukiyomi: We've been going there for years. Great place 👍

Mary Potter: Really nice dog run. Lots of space. Water feature. Clean. Friendly pups and hoomans.

S lee: It is great to have this dog park in the neighborhood. It is open from dawn to dusk. I visit there from time to time. My dog is very small so when we visit at a prime time there are big dogs and can be rough and overwhelming to mine.Today I went there around 6:30am we were the only ones mostly.

Jillian Burgess: Good size park but when it rain it’s gets really muddy. The water faucet still doesn’t work yet so that was a bummer for my thirsty dog.

Mary Kate Phillips: There is a dog walking group that runs from morning to noon . They are extremely unwell people whom, will stand and bad mouth you and call names under their breath. Then deny that they said such words. Very odd behavior .No deserves to be emotionally abused.They don’t own the park. It’s the town’s park . It should be a nice place to bring your dog. Not a bad one. Tudor dog park needs some improvement. It’s too bad .It could be a better dog park.

Brian Leslie: Full of dogs. Doggie water fountain didn't work as of 3/20/21, but perhaps it's a seasonal thing and they haven't turned it on yet?

tj smith: Great dog park minutes from work so I can meet my wife and the pup there in the evenings. The people have been great which is a big part of any dog park. They've even got obstacles. For dogs. Dogstacles!

Michele Scalesse: Great place to meet dog lovers like myself. Chill atmosphere dogs get along. Sometimes there are too many dogs at one time

just my self: 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Ballard Andrews: Dogs and owners treat this place well. Keep it up everyone.

Daniel Quinn: Nice surface and features

Helen Carpenter: Not well kept. Quite a bit of trash. Also my dogs and I came for the sprinklers and we were very disappointed. It only sprays about 10 inches tall.

J. Gavin Wilkie: While the facilities themselves are fine, the dogs that frequent this park are aggressive. They’ve clearly learned from one another. Every time we’ve come here, there’s at least one big event where you need to break up the dogs.Do yourself a favor and bring your dog somewhere else where they won’t learn bad behaviors from this pack.

Zack Dresser: Great dog park with two double gated entrances! There was plenty of metered parking surrounding the park. Went Sunday morning and there were a few other dogs but not overwhelmingly busy. 🐶 and I will be back!

Sergio de souza: I love...

Tommy Bradford: It's always awesome where everyone takes their dogs to play dog play dates

nadal_amor: So. Many. Puppers. Need this review say more?

Joseph Stiebler: Always fun but needs some gentrification

Stephen Passley: Alot of room for dog to let loose

Alyssa Molina: 05/12/20 - Temporarily closed due to COVID.

Kei Takatsuka: Nice but closed as of April 29, 2020

George Williams: Nice place for the dogs

Frank Thomas: Great

Celeste De Palma: Very, very small and weirdly-shaped dog park. This should be rebranded as a small dog only park. Corgis may do fine, but there is barely any room to run around.

Junji Morokuma: Great new neighborhood dog park! Does have a doggie bag dispenser and trash can. But unfortunately, no water for dogs. Also, hope the trees will grow with a wide canopy, as there is very little shade of any kind. Maybe putting in a water faucet, and also some large wide concrete pipe sections for artificial shade, and additional place to jump/climb onto, would better this dog park.

Shashank Jariwala: More like a swamp.

Liz Fortaleza: Not a great watering hole to swimming with a dog just learning how to swim. Probably fine for an experienced dog swimmer. Very rocky and just a small opening for the dogs to enter. Disappointed in this doggo swimming hole.FYI you have to enter essentially to the path next to the golf course.

Tim Walsh: Great little spot for the dogs to cool off on a hot day. Parking is a bit tricky to find since the map of the city of Cambridge parks department depicts parking areas which you can't actually park in, but great walking area!

Rachel Anthony: Looks like a very nice park, unfortunately there is no public parking. There is a parking lot but it is designated to Cambridge residents only. Considering 75% of the spots were empty, I was pretty bummed I couldn’t take my dog to the beach!

Krista F: On the small side, but very cute. It is a great place to stop while on your walk.

Christopher Taylor: A good spot for a run. A shame about the ugly fence between the pond and path.

Angela “Brown eyes” Perrigo: It's a peaceful place to take a walk

Hyunjeong Jin: Loved it.

Akos Szilvasi: A gem at Fresh Pond. Once I get a dog it will be on my daily routine.

Joseph Sharkey: Wonderful little place for dogs to swim! Ive heard rumors about blue-green algae, but not from any reputable source. Great for water dogs that like to fetch

Igor Novikov: Good place for walks.

Rob gran: Do it.

Rajaneesh Karimpurath Gopinath: It's a beautiful spot for an evening stroll and enjoy the sunset. I recommend it highly, especially for dog lovers.

Lital Lumbroso: Pretty deep water, not much space to run around

Tom Fischer: Really nice for The Peoples Republic of Cambridge who have traded the spirituality of God for the environment. And yes Whole Foods AND Trader Joes is across the street.

Samantha Scott: It's nice for dogs but very smelly water

Tony And Ed: Great place to take a walk. You don't feel like you're in the middle of the city hey. Take a step back into nature

Rosemarie Komorowski: Lovely walk and area very nice walk

Amy Todd: A joy to see dogs splashing around in the pond. Be forewarned that you might get wet when they shake off.

Josh Salvi: This is a great little spot around fresh pond that allows you to take your dog off leash. We brought our Corgi here, who took her first swim in the pond! If you have a dog and are in the area I highly recommend stopping by!

Craig Whitaker: Easily accessible plus good parking.

Kate Andres: Very basic dog park park next to an incredible park for kids and adults

Jenny Odato: The park is a menagerie of fun areas for all human and dog. The dog encased area is all dirt sobit will get muddy or freeze in winter.

Akiko M: Many users here. There is a baseball field as well so people use that if trained. Bags are available. Though I would say max 5 dogs in the area at a time so that its enough to run around without collusion
