About the Park
Fully fenced and free, Pemberton Street Dog Run gives Cambridge dogs a legal place to be off-leash in a city where open space comes at a premium. The run sits in the 02140 zip code in North Cambridge, a mostly residential stretch of an otherwise dense city wedged between Harvard, MIT, and the Charles River. The secure perimeter is the key fact on file — in tight urban surroundings, an enclosed run matters more than it would in the suburbs. Surface, hours, and amenities such as water are not documented in our records, so a quick scout is worth it before relying on the spot. Cambridge winters bring snow and ice, so footing can change a lot by season.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Pemberton Street Dog Run 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, Pemberton Street Dog Run is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
