The Fresh Pond Reservoir is a little heaven for dogs. So many dogs were around here yesterday (we took these pics just before the big storm), and the great thing is that they can go off leash if their owner is a Cambridge resident. You also need a Cambridge parking permit to park in the Reservoir’s parking lot.
Read more about their Dog Medallion Program here. As the City of Cambridge refers, the Program has been developed in cooperation with Cambridge resident dog owners and City staff in order to better protect our city’s drinking water while allowing Cambridge residents to enjoy a quality off-leash experience with their dog.

There is a long ring around a lake where you can walk with your dog. You can even play golf here.

Dogs also have their own private “swimming pool”.
Here is the beautiful Tigger, a twelve year old female, named from a Winnie Poo character by her owner Lauren. Tigger doesn’t like swimming so much, but she loves run around the “swimming pool” and play with other dogs.

  2. It would be really nice if non-Cambridge residents could pay a yearly fee for walking their dogs here — the funds could go for park maintenance and more dogs could get some good exercise!
