Fantastic park for dogs. My dog had a blast running around off-leash and playing with other dogs…read more All the owners were so kind and friendly. The paths are well traversed and packed down even in the snowy winter season. There are about 2 spots by the road and about 10-12 in the lot down the driveway. It was full on a Saturday morning in February.

I have no idea how I missed reviewing this great park, but it is a terrific park hiding in…read moreWellesley next to Mass Bay CC, and since the Beloved Goldendoodle passed away last year I have been bringing a friend's dog here so I can still have my "dog time". Most of the people are friendly, there are nice dogs of all sizes to greet and there is a mix of flat and hilly areas depending on your dog's energy level (and yours). Tip: avoid the pond area, it is pretty swampy!

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!

With Wilmington being a sand disaster and full of puddles after rainstorms, this brand new…read moreBurlington location has become our go-to Park. It opened up in the summer of 2018 and is definitely CLEAN. It has a fake grass area about 75 feet long and the park itself easily stretches 200 feet long, which is mainly gravel. There are actually barrels here to throw away your poo and there is running water both in the big dog park along with the smaller dog area. Some people will leave behind balls but definitely bring a toy if your dog tends to play well with others when they have them. Oh and you also don't need to bring your own doggie bags if you don't want to since they are provided. I'm not sure what more you could ask for. Almost everything you would ever need is provided for you and it has ample parking. It was the perfect addition to Burlington, bring your pupper down for a little play time!

The…read moreonly thing why I cannot give this dog park a 5-star review is because I wish it has a water fountain in the park. Sometimes I forget to take a water bottle for my dog and if nobody brings water, dogs are thirsty. In other dog parks that I have been to there were fountains for dogs. It was in Florida tho. Overall, this place is good. During the winter, the ground becomes super slippery like on the skating rink. After the rain, it is kind of dirty in there. My dog looks like a pig. But those are weather conditions and it does not relate to my review. It is just a sharing of the experience that people can be prepared for it.

This is the fourth dog park I've visited lately. Recently,…read moreI've been around more dogs, and therefore have been going to more dog parks. Now, technically I probably could've gotten in trouble for coming here as it's supposed to be for Needham residents only, but I live in a nearby town, so didn't think it would be too big of a deal (and what, they're going to check an ID at a dog park?). This is a cool place off of Pine Street in the rural section of southern Needham close to the Dover line. It's accessible only via Central Avenue as Pine Street is a one way. Off Pine St, there are two signs, one white and one brown (as in the one of the pictures I uploaded), where you will turn onto a long, dirt road, filled with potholes, leading to the park as well as the Needham Community Farm at the end of the long road. There are two large fenced in areas for dogs. They are both good size and they both are extremely clean. There wasn't anyone else their when I arrived and left for that matter... so it's on the slow side, which can be a plus and a minus. Not much parking, but a small amount at the entrance and I think you can park a bit farther down the road in a large paved area. Overall, 4 star dog park. Better than some of the others I've visited, and in comparison, not as good as others. 4 stars.

The interior (unmarked) trails through the wetland, and parts of the West Side, can be muddy. The park is a birding hotspot with more than 160 species identified. The large off-leash dog park is unfenced but bordered by wooded slopes. Dogs must be leashed on the trail. Ample parking off Beacon Street. Enjoy!

The pictures just dont do justice to the beauty, serenity and scope of the grounds. The staff was very friendly. There is a small gift shop and café on the grounds. It never felt crowded.

The park is very well organized with different walking paths to see all the art installations in order.

We brought his water as well for simplicity. We saw people having picnics all over the park and some taking naps. Such a peaceful location to just hang out and read or spend a quiet afternoon.
