About the Park
Cold Spring Park in Newton, MA, features a 65-67 acre area with a designated off-leash dog park in the southern 'Old Cold Spring' section, including open fields, wooded trails, and a softball field. The off-leash area is accessible from the Beacon Street entrance and offers shaded spots with secure fencing. A permit is required for off-leash use, and dogs must remain on-leash on trails.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Cold Spring Park is fully fenced, so your dog can run and play off-leash without worry. This makes it a great choice for dogs still working on recall or for owners who want extra peace of mind.
Walking trails are available, so you and your dog can enjoy a walk beyond just the off-leash area. Trails are a great option for dogs who enjoy sniffing and exploring at their own pace.
Best of all, Cold Spring Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
