What to expect
A designated place to play
Boston Parks explicitly names Peters Park as a Dog Recreation Space. Use the dog area for off-leash exercise; the rest of the city park keeps its ordinary leash and play-area rules.
Combine it with a South End walk
The park is in the South End, making it practical to pair dog-run time with a leashed stroll around the neighborhood's residential blocks.
Dog access and rules
Boston requires dogs on leashes up to eight feet in regular city-park areas. The designated dog recreation area is the off-leash exception. Keep dogs out of children's playgrounds and fields, supervise them and pick up waste.
