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.
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.
Fresh water and a bowl
Even parks with water fountains can have them out of service. Bring your own to be safe.
Poop bags
Most parks provide them, but don't rely on it. Always come prepared to clean up after your dog.
A reflective collar or light-up leash
If you visit near dusk, visibility gear helps you keep track of your dog and stay safe.
High-value treats
Useful for practicing recall in a distracting environment and rewarding good social behavior.
Your dog's favorite toy
A familiar toy can help shy dogs feel more comfortable and give them something to focus on.
Note: Dogs must remain on leash and owners must clean up after pets. Respect 'Trail Closed' signs on adjacent Hanover Fireworks trail due to unexploded ordnance and contamination. Hunting not permitted here but occurs on adjacent lands (wear bright orange during season; no hunting Sundays). Park gate open seasonally from April 1; parking in designated lots only.
