Peters Park Dog Park

Address: 1205 Washington St, Boston, MA 02118

Gravel-covered and fenced, this South End park divides into separate large and small dog sections, with a few trees and climbing rocks breaking up the space. Water stations and waste bags are available, and benches give owners a place to sit while dogs sort out the social order. One recurring gripe from regulars is that the gravel surface can be rough on paws. No parking lot means street parking or arriving on foot.
