DOG RESOURCES

I love my dog! Harmon is 9 months old and the cutest, most fun dog on the planet.  He has not met another dog or human that he does not adore.  It is my pleasure to take him to new places all the time, meet new dogs and their owners and share all pup related activities.  Here are a few of our favorite places. If you would like me to add any of your favorite places, please send me a private message.  Thanks!

PARKS

There are different parks for your different moods.  If you prefer to walk with your dog, I highly recommend these places.  The dogs can be off-leash and make lots of friends and you can get your daily exercise. Centennial Park, Wellesley

  • Cold Springs Park, Newton
  • Wilson Mountain, Dedham/Needham border
  • Weston Reservoir, Weston
  • Cat Rock, Weston
  • Noanet Woods, Dover

If you prefer to let them run around but you’re happy staying still and watching, here are some places for that.

  • Dedham Dog Park on route 135 Dedham
  • Needham dog park, Pine St Needham

The following Newton parks share time with off-leash dogs: Braceland Playground, Cabot Park, Claflin Playground, Hunnewell Park, McGrath Park, Newton Center Playground,Old Cold Spring Park.  See website for hours and particulars: http://www.newtonma.gov/civicax/filebank/documents/29826
