Dog walking in Newtonville

Locals are often seen bringing a hot cup of coffee in the morning to chat with fellow dog lovers while their pups make a dozen new friends in this furiendly park! If there’s no one to make friends with, you and pup can head deeper inside the park to hike the woody trails. Woof down a cone at J P Licks Ice Cream and don’t forget to order the “Cow Paws” special for your pup while he waits outside.

Woodland Heath

Visit the Woodland Heath neighborhood in the village of Chestnut Hill for a barktastic time with Fido at the Soule Recreation Centre. This recreational greenspace offers pups a furiendly dog park to roam and romp around with other playful canines. Make sure to come early with your pup to enjoy the park’s off-leash policy between dawn and 9 am! Also, as this dog park is non-fenced, make sure to keep voice control over your pooch so he doesn’t wander off too far. When it’s time to leash up, continue to explore the park’s multi-sport athletic fields, playground, and pup-friendly walking trails!
