55We had a great time! The gate was open for us when we arrived and there was fresh water for the dogs. There were toys and hand wipes. The street is very quiet and you can park your car right next to the yard. I’d definitely come back 😊Monica C.

55Yina's yard is really good! It was big with lots of spots to sniff and dig in. I got my foster here and he was obsessed with bones and toys available. He ultimately dug holes and hid the bones in the yard. It's also in a quiet area. The host was very communicative and helpful, despite my tardiness. Definitely recommend coming hereNivedita M.

55Very clean, well maintained yard. Not large but plenty of space for a small to medium dog to run around and play fetch, or a larger dog who likes to sniff around. The host gave clear directions and also left a bin of balls and toys, which was much appreciated. We did hear the host's dogs bark a few times, and my pup stopped to listen, but it seemed far enough away to ignore. It would only be a problem if a dog were very reactive. I will definitely book this spot again! Kirsten B.

55So thrilled to find this space in my neighborhood of JP, just enough room for my dog to run and play and get some safe outdoor time. Nice selection of seats for the humans to sit on, and I also appreciate the big water bowl. Heather M.

55The yard was super clean and the toys left out were fantastic to have! My tiny guy still doesn’t quite get the catch and bring back game, but loves to chase when I throw! Funi was also super responsive when I couldn’t figure out the hose to get him water! We’ll definitely be back…thank you so much!Christine H.

55A nice little space that’s very conveniently located, for me at least. About as much space as you can ask for in the city! A nice spot for the humans to sit and hang out, as well. Ali H.

55Great communication with the host; the yard and fence look like they have all been newly done and it’s clear a lot to care has been taken with it. Great to have a sizable backyard right in Brookline! We will be back to experience it. Sam S.

FAQ About Boston Dog Parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 7% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Boston area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 387 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 659 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
Sniffspot has 387 fully fenced dog parks in or near Boston. Browse all fully enclosed options.
