About the Park

Forge Pond Park is a 40-acre athletic complex in Hanover, MA, featuring baseball, softball, and multi-use fields, a 1-mile paved perimeter trail, and over 4 miles of woodland trails around Forge Pond. It offers canoe/kayak access, benches, and porta-potties, with dogs required on leash. Adjacent areas have hunting and contamination hazards.

infoWhat to Know Before You Go

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, Forge Pond Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
