Here are some photos of the Nunziato Off-Leash Recreational Area in Somerville, MA, and of park users enjoying the new surface last December.

The park is located between Putnam & Summer St, and it is fenced-in.

Update!!!  Photos in this blog courtesy of Michele Biscoe, Chairperson of the Somerville Dog Owners Group.  View all of her pictures!

The grounds of Carleton Dog Court, the fenced-in dog park in the South End, have just been repainted.
Here are some pics we took this afternoon. The first dog above is Ceder, a young Hungarian Rizsla. Ceder usually comes to the park with his “sister” Jillie, the beautiful Papillon pictured below, and their parents John and Marcia. Marcia owns The Pooch Palace, a dog hotel and dog care service located in Watertown, MA. And, of course, Jillie is the princess of the palace, and Ceder is the count, as Marcia referred.

The beautiful pugs pictured below are Francesca and Sofia, two preppy dogs who live in the Leather District. Sofia is too young to play with other dogs but she can’t wait to join them in the park!

And below there are lot of other beautiful dogs that were at the park today. The two gorgeous Australian Labradoodles are Maya (black) and Otis (white).

Here are some pics we took this afternoon at Peters Park, in the South End. It rained and the park was still a little bit wet. For this reason, no more than four dogs were there, but the park is usually more crowded.

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!

Lovely place, Thomas Park, if you want to take your dog for a walk on-leash. The view of the city is wonderful and in the evening there are always some dogs around your dog can play with.

We run into this big park in South Boston, located between B street and W. Second street.

Jennifer, pictured below with her “customers”, is a friendly dog walker and dog sitter specialised in small dogs. She usually comes here.

The park is not an official dog park but neighbors started to use it to take their dog for a run off-leash. The park is huge and clean, also because dog owners take good care of it, and always clean after their dogs.

If you live in the area and have no time to take your dog to the park, you could be interested in Jennifer’s services. You can write here at jenMS71 @ msn.com.
