About the Park
Larz Anderson Park, the largest park in Brookline, doubles as a Green Dog site, meaning dogs can go off-leash during hours designated by the town's Green Dog Program. The schedule can change, so verify current off-leash windows and program requirements on Brookline's website before making the trip. The park occupies a former estate on the town's south side, with the kind of open lawn space that is otherwise hard to come by this close to Boston. Green Dog sites are shared public parks rather than fenced dog runs, so owners are expected to keep dogs under voice control and leash up outside program hours. For Brookline dogs that need genuine room to move, this is the marquee option in town.
