Fitchburg Dog Park already an amazing asset to the community!…read moreThe grand opening of the park was phenomenal! Hundreds of dogs together, every different breed and size....playing and having fun! Tails wagging, tongues hanging out....squeaky balls being tossed....and not a single dog fight or hardly even any barking! Amazing. Large dog area (30+) and small dog area (30 and under)....shade pavilion with benches... kids playground nearby for full family fun. Water fountain at front, and water spigot with removable bowls inside each area. Rock features for doggie fun. Great time.

Park crew was working when I was there: they seem to keep things well mowed and picked up. Saw several dog walkers, but all on leash. There are some woods and a power line corridor, loaded with tradh. Cute little stone bridges cross a drainage ditch. Very little shade in main parking lot. Splash park is what it is and was not in use when I visited.

The actual dog park is not even really a dog park in my opinion. The space is limited for both big…read moreand small dogs but gated. Dogs are allowed to be off leash. There's no water fountain for your pups to have fresh water after playing. Parking lot is available upon entering and is decent size for multiple vehicles. More than anything I love that they have few trails and makes it fun to walk your pup with abundance grass for them to smell and play on. My dodo loves playing on the grass and we have walked on the short trails while he sniffs everything on his way. I personally feel it's a great park for a brisk walk with your dodo. My rating is exclusively based on the trials overall and taking 1 star away for the dog ranch area.

This new dog park is tucked away on the site of the old Metropolitan State Hospital site in Waltham…read moreoff Trapelo Road, next to one of the remaining old buildings. There is parking and nearby bike paths. While there are lots of open fields nearby, the fenced in areas of the dog park itself are small. There is an area for small dogs, separate from that of big dogs, but they are both small areas. The big dog area could stand to be much larger. The ground is gravel/packed dirt... pebbles would be better. I can see this being muddy and have heard some owners complain the gravel is too sharp for paws. The entry/exit points of the enclosures are not the usual "airlock" system with two gates, but a separate entry/exit which did not keep other dogs from trying to escape with us when we left. There is one bench for people to sit on, more benches would be nice. There is a trash can. There is currently no water, but I have heard that there are plans to add that in the spring. There are fun things for dogs to run over and around, and someone has stocked the pens with tennis balls, but the best things dogs like to play with is the other dogs. Our dog was very happy to play with everyone! This new park was already very busy with dogs on a Sunday afternoon. If we really want our dog to get some exercise, we would probably still go to Beaver Brook or Cat Rock Pak where there is more space to run, but this is a good option for play time! I hope Waltham listens and continues to make this park even better!

You see lots of people relaxing, lunching, reading, moms with kids etc in this area. There is also a paved wheelchair accessible trail in this area. The back area is woods complete with streams and a bog. The trail overall is 1-1/2 miles (including the handicap accessible portion). A leisurely 30-40 minute walk.

These dogs start serious fights trying to dominate the nice big dogs, or they terrorize some of the little dogs, like mine.

The DCR has turned the pond into a recreation area instead of conserving the area as a drinking water resource.
