About the Park
Quiet, rural surroundings make this Carlisle park a relaxed place to give a dog off-leash time northwest of Boston in Middlesex County. Admission is free as a public space. The grounds are designated for off-leash use, so dogs can run and socialize without a leash. Carlisle keeps much of its wooded, open New England character, and weather spans humid summers to frozen, snowy winters—layers and paw care help in the cold. Because fencing and surface are not confirmed in this record, walk the boundary on your first visit and keep your dog in view near open edges. Pack water and cleanup bags, and confirm the current hours and any seasonal closures with the town of Carlisle before heading out.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Carlisle Dog Park is an off-leash area without full fencing. Make sure your dog has solid recall before letting them loose, and keep an eye on them near any roads or boundaries.
Best of all, Carlisle Dog Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
