Dog Park at Downer Avenue Park

Address: Boston, MA 02125

Tucked into a small footprint, this off-leash area at Downer Avenue Park makes clever use of a multi-level design to give dogs more room to roam than the size might suggest. The ground alternates between peastone and grass, and the park is stocked with waste bags, water bowls, and lighting for after-dark visits. It runs small, so it suits dogs that do well in tighter spaces.
