Fort Washington Park is a historic site in Cambridge, Massachusetts, featuring a fenced-in area popular for dogs to play and socialize during designated off-leash shared use hours. It offers a spacious, well-maintained space along the Charles River with pathways and green areas. The park includes waste bags for cleanup.
Fort Washington 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.
Best of all, Fort Washington 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 folding chair
This park may have limited seating, so a portable chair can make longer visits more comfortable.
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: Shared use off-leash area; dogs must be leashed outside designated times and when entering/exiting; requires current Cambridge dog license; contact 617/349-4600 for details.
