The space is really convenient to get to - it's near Castle Island, walk-able (albeit a bit of a hike!) from the Broadway area, and is generally rather safe. During the summer, it's awesome because there is a doggy water fountain for all the pooches to enjoy. Since it is fenced in, it's a great way for FloJo to sprint around, chase, and be chased without having to worry about running off somewhere where she shouldn't go... Parking around the area is definitely a little tough and there is no real crosswalk to get to the park, so I would definitely wear sneakers. Overall, as long as you bring waste bags and water for yourself, it's definitely a great place to be. Parts of the park are shaded, which is wonderful on hot summer days. There aren't any benches for humans, so like other Yelpers have mentioned ... be prepared to stand. Most of the other doggy owners are nice and you'll surely make new friends. Don't be embarrassed if your dog has their own Instagram, Twitter, and/or Tindr (say what?!) account because most of the other humans will admit their dogs have one, too. I typically bring a tennis ball or two with me to toss around. Flower shares her toys well, but if your dog doesn't, I wouldn't bring anything because all the other dogs just want to play. Don't bring any nice toys because they will be destroyed in minutes. Tennis balls are the majority favorite! Sidenote: I will admit that I come to the park after dark on weeknights. The area around the park and Castle Island is heavily patrolled by Boston Police and the Staties. If you feel uncomfortable walking back to your car, just ask one of the police officers to follow you back to your car and they will certainly help you out.

The owners who come here pay such great attention to their dogs. It's always clean and there is always toys for the dogs to play with. All the dogs in here are very well behaved too and I've never seen a fight. I like that it's not rocks like peter's park so it does not smell at all. My most recent visit was a Sunday morning and there was about 5 other dogs in there the entire time me and my girls visited. Someone had set up a plastic kiddy pool so all the dogs who wanted to were having a lot of fun in it. I would give this 5 stars but I get nervous when people walk in and out of the one door that doesn't have a double gate.

The loop was well paved in most areas and there were a couple off trails that were a nice surprise. It was pretty crowded even for a "not so great weather day" so I can imagine how busy it gets on a nice day. Loved how it was a dog friendly place. Most people didn't have their dogs on leash. This is great for families who feel comfortable with it but imagine it could be an issue for others. We will definitely be back!

They take such great care of it and it's a nice spot to take a break. Throughout the year, they hold various events at this park. My favorite is when Santa comes to town in his red helicopter. They also have a very cute "Tunnel of Love" during February. This park is very dog friendly and there are bathrooms nearby too - just right at the Marriott hotel. They have some outside or if you prefer, you can go inside the Marriott and go up the escalator. FYI, right now the escalator is out of order, but you can take the elevator up to the UL. Oh, and they have a Starbucks right inside too. Next time you're in the area, check the park out for yourselves.

I saw around 10 dogs play here without a leash (there is no fence however). It is great for picnics and for working out. The middle lawn area is surrounded by a dirt track. There is a small parking lot on the side. I think parking is free. There are lots of squirrels for dogs to chase. There's also a tennis court. I sat here for a long time admiring all the doggies playing with one another. I personally accessed the park by foot from Beacon Street. You cannot access through this way if you are going by car because the street connecting Beacon to the park is private. I'm new to the Boston area, but I noticed that people sure love their baseball and almost all the kids are in little league. There are a ton of baseball fields, everywhere.
