About the Park
Griggs Park is a 3.34-acre hidden gem in Brookline nestled on a former wetland, featuring a circular paved walking path, lush landscaping with willow trees, and a playground with swings and sandbox. The park offers off-leash dog hours and serves as a community gathering space for dog owners, families, and those seeking outdoor recreation.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Griggs Park Off-Leash Area is an off-leash area without full fencing. Make sure your dog has solid recall before letting them loose, and keep an eye on them near any roads or boundaries.
Dogs can enjoy water features here — great for cooling off on hot days. Bring a towel for the car ride home, because your pup will probably get soaked.
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, Griggs Park Off-Leash Area is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
