Hood Park Dog Playground

This is a great park to let your dog run free with other dogs. The only issue I have is there are a few, inconsiderate, dog owners/dog walkers that do not clean up after their pets.

Horrible park, very sharp on the pups feet. Very isolated park with zero green space. Not safe for women alone with a pup as there is very little population there. My daughter found herself alone with a stranger in this desolate park with their dogs and was not at all comfortable. Charlestown needs to do better than this.

Disgusting. Dog walkers come here, leave dogs in the entry gates, then don’t clean up after them. It was great when it first opened, but honestly the health department should come over to check it out. It can’t be safe for dogs or humans with the amount of feces that are in there. I live nearby and I have heard of several dog owners who have had pets become very sick with fecal oriented diseases towards the end of the summer – after that most people in the area just stopped brining their pets in here. the smell even from across the street is nuclear. Hood Park Management needs to address it.

Huge trendy industrial dog park in Hood park, (smaller and larger parks), next to a new restaurant, and other small businesses, adjacent to a small beautiful walking area.

What a waste. This park WILL damage your dogs paws. I thought no way would they make a park this way if it wasn’t suitable. Wrong. My dog is half lab half wolfhound, always outside, on hikes, everywhere with no issue – he had cuts he licked on his paws for weeks after bringing him here only twice.

I will never understand if they did not want to cough up the money to maintain grass or sod why not just put sand down? It would look less like a prison yard and the dogs of the area could actually use it.
