About the Park
East 1st Dog Park is a well-maintained, fenced-in off-leash dog park located in South Boston near Castle Island. The park features agility equipment and benches for owners, though it lacks separate sections for different-sized dogs.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
East 1st Dog 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.
The park has agility equipment, which is excellent for high-energy dogs that need both physical and mental stimulation. Even if your dog hasn't tried agility before, most dogs pick it up quickly with a little encouragement.
Best of all, East 1st Dog Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
