The best dog friendly neighborhoods in Waltham

Eastview Park
Eastview Park in Waltham is a sprawling neighborhood compared to many of the city’s micro-niches. Much of the space is taken up by Beaver Brook Reservation, one of the largest parks in the area. The area is multi-use and features miles of hiking trails winding through the reservation and along the namesake Beaver Brook. Strictly speaking, this is an on-leash park, but be aware that locals frequently bend the rules, and the park is notorious for off-leash play. On leash attractions for dogs include abundant birds and squirrels that they can believe they would totally catch if they were free.

Beaver Brook Station/Clementis Station
Waltham City Dog Ranch is the main dog park in the city that opened to much acclaim. Local humans give it two thumbs up, and local dogs ten out of ten sniffs. It has water bowls, benches, separate areas for large and small dogs, and agility obstacles. It’s a great way to give your dog a workout without hitting a hiking trail. Confusingly, Waltham’s Beaver Brook Station and surrounding neighborhood is next to Beaver Brook Reservation, but not within the same area. Beaver Brook Station/Clementis Station runs east and south of the reservation, in a less densely populated but highly commutable area.
24
Riverview
Days on the town aren’t just for humans anymore. When you’re ready for your dog to see and be seen, head to one of Riverview’s dog-friendly restaurants. You can stop at Paisano Restaurant for Guatemalan and Mexican food on the patio. Taqueria Mexico also serves pups at their outdoor tables. If you’re in more a peckish mood, or you’re looking for a menu with something simple for your pup as well, Lizzy’s Ice Cream is the place to pick. Patio seating and some dog-friendly recipes make this a perfect treat for both of you.

North Waltham
Some dogs want to be like trains and make tracks. Before the awful humor gives you paws, consider: for some dogs, even a long time in an off-leash park won’t work off their energy. If your pooch is a marathoner, not a sprinter, dig out your walking shoes and head to Chester Brook Corridor. This area is a mish-mash of public and private lands, but with the installation of a well-marked trail in 2016, it’s become more accessible than ever. Alternatively, Shady’s Pond Conservation Area offers several miles of winding trails through mature woods, a stream, and even marshes.

Lakeview
Though the Cambridge Reservoir that provides drinking water for the Cambridge area extends from Waltham’s Lakeview neighborhood into the Hastings neighborhood in Weston, the reservoir can still be claimed as one of the best recreational areas for dogs in Waltham. Park in one of several lots on the Waltham side of the reservoir and head out to the ferns, marshes, and walking trails that line the area. Dogs should be kept on leash for the best experience, as the area is full of wildlife and lacks fences. Plan your route, as the reservoir is too large to be walked in one loop.
