🐾 Kids at the Dog Park: Real Stories, Safety Risks & Smarter Solutions

If you’re searching for a dog park in Weymouth, South Field Dog Park – Union Point offers a secure, pet-friendly spot for your canine companion to play and socialize. Conveniently located at 25 Memorial Grove Ave, this park features fully fenced enclosures and separate areas for both small and large dogs, ensuring a safer experience for pets of all sizes. Union Point is known for its friendly local community, ample parking, and its location near playgrounds and kid-friendly spaces, making it an easy outing for the whole family.
This dog park provides double-gated entrances for added safety when entering or exiting, and includes picnic tables for dog owners to relax while their pets play. While there is no dedicated water fountain for dogs and little to no shade, the park is wheelchair accessible and offers plenty of space to run. Note that the ground can get muddy after rain or dusty in dry weather, and upkeep varies, so visitors should bring their own water and poop bags. Despite some needed improvements, the community vibe and open layout make it a favorite for regulars in Weymouth and nearby South Shore neighborhoods.
I’m not sure who is responsible for the upkeep of these parks, but it’s in dire need of some tlc. The picnic tables are literally falling apart and very dangerous. There’s big holes underneath them from dogs digging. Lots of the toys are dirty, broke or just in general not safe. Clearly some owners don’t pick up their dogs waste which is disgusting! There needs to be something different for the ground cover as like many others have stated, it’s an awful mud pit when it rains and wicked dusty when dry. There are some very nice
people and dogs that we’ve come across, but these parks really need some tlc…. Hopefully sooner than later as Union Point in general is a beautiful establishment and should be taken care of.
Too small of a “dog park” for any more than 1 or 2 dogs. There are two small fenced in areas with “loading dock” type entrances with double gates to prevent escaping when people are coming and going. It was supposed to be temporary while they constructed a bigger/nicer dog park but that that was years ago. There are frequently unfixed as well as aggressive, pushy, and untrained dogs that cause issues. Also keep in mind respiratory diseases that are going around and are transmitted through saliva (shared water bowls, playing with strange dogs) so would recommend bringing your own water for your dog.
A very quiet place to bring our best friends, it’s a large space, very secure, organized, people and their best are very friendly too, it has a plenty of spots for parking,the only 2 bad points I saw are the fact I wish they could plant a tree inside and a fountain for fresh water, in hot days you can last more than 20 minutes lol, but for early morning routine is just perfect
No shade, no water. Mostly just a grassy, small open fenced area for dogs. Separate small dog area?
No posted rules at all…
This dog park is ok. It’s nothing special. It’s not maintained or anything. It’s basically just a fenced in area of mud. They do have two separate areas, one for small dogs, and one for larger dogs. There’s a playground right next to the dog park. But there aren’t any restrooms around or anything. There are also picnic tables to sit at while your puppy plays.
