Boston isn't the most pet friendly city but if you are lucky enough to have a dog, finding some space for your pet to run around is important. Here is a list of a few dog parks in the area thanks to the Metro.
Peters Park, South End
Possibly the most popular dog park in the city, Peters Park has two sections, divided for large and smaller pets. Dogs can leap up on climbing structures in a safe, double-gated environment, and tackle each other ‘til the cows come home. Plus, there’s even a water fountain for your pup, as well as another to wash your hands. Best of all, there’s plenty of benches for owners to take a load off.
South Boston Bark Park, South Boston
Located near Castle Island, the Bark Park is a gravel-based spot complete with tunnels and rocks for your dog to play on. Maintained by a local neighborhood organization, the Bark Park is so popular that regulars host a Halloween party, complete with pups dressed as lobsters and Batman.
Wide open spaces are hard to come by in Back Bay, which is why the gated Carleton Court is a favorite for dogs who live in the St. Botolph neighborhood of Back Bay, and surrounding the Prudential Center. Pre and post-workday hours tend to get a bit crowded at the Court, but come by in the early-afternoon and your dog can be king of the castle.
