Pine Banks Dog Park

Address: Melrose, MA 02148

Fenced and divided into separate large and small dog sections, this off-leash park gives dogs plenty of room to run on its pea gravel surface. The gravel drains reasonably well after rain, though some dogs take time to adjust to it underfoot. Benches and parking are available, but shade and water are absent, which can make summer visits uncomfortable for both dogs and owners.
