Dog Park at The Track - Boston, MA
Dog Park at The Track – Boston, MA
The Dog Park at The Track is conveniently located in East Boston and offers a dedicated, fenced-in space for pups to run and play. This dog park in Boston, Massachusetts, is wheelchair accessible and features two separate, securely gated areas, ideal for both solo and social pups. The ground is mostly sand, meaning some dirty paws after playtime are likely, but gives energetic dogs plenty of room to run and dig. Pet parents appreciate the park’s agility equipment, welcoming both novice and active dogs for extra mental and physical stimulation.
While seating and picnic tables are available for owners, visitors should note there is no on-site water fountain for dogs, so be sure to bring your own. Poop bag dispensers and trash bins are present for easy cleanup.

Reviews
Great spot to take your dog. Two separate areas with doors on each. The ground is sand so expect some dirty paws
Stopped here while driving through the area and state. Honestly, this is a sorry excuse for a “dog park.” I’ve been in bigger backyards in the hood. It’s two relatively small dirt dog “run” areas with some agility apparatuses. Someone has graffitied all over everything about digging holes. Ridiculous. Otherwise, unmaintained feeling. No water. I suppose it’s great for small high energy dogs that jump around and stuff.
The areas surrounding the miniscule caged dog areas seem nice with the track there and all, plenty of areas to do better Boston. This is no dog park. Oh well, on the road again.
There are two separate gated agility courses/dog parks here, right next to each other. It is nice to have space from other dogs or join those if your dog is more social.
Still fairly small–I think my dog was nervous there since he could probably smell the coyotes and it was not a familiar space for him. Our smaller puppy enjoyed it just fine.
The park ranger will come around and say hello if you are new. He watches the area so there are no potential issues with coyotes–they foresee an issue due to people sometimes feeding them.
There are coyotes that live right next to the dog park, in a den, so do not let your dogs off leash outside of the gated dog park. Do not feed them or leave food for them.
More than enough parking.
Nice agility toys new looking nice sand little grass doggie bags and trash can two negatives no water but the biggest only one gate
Tiny park with several pieces of equipment taking space… most equipment is targeted to smaller dogs.
There are limited bags and trash, but no water – although there are human portapotties.
Park is on the edge of the old track.
