Last year, Fort Washington in Cambridge was designated as a place where dog owners could let their pets roam without a leash in a fenced-in area.
As an article in the Boston Globe reports today, after a season of heavy use, Fort Washington need to be closed this fall for restoration because of the damage caused by dogs.
Water Department officials proposed allowing only Cambridge-licensed dogs wearing a special medallion to roam free there, but that plan has been put on hold indefinitely.
For now, we still have the summer to enjoy the park!
