Leslie's Retreat Dog Park, home to SPACE (Salem Play Area for Canine Exercise), is a fenced off-leash dog park opened in 2006 in Salem, Massachusetts. The park features separate areas for dogs under 30 pounds and larger dogs, with amenities including shade, seating, running water, waste stations, and dedicated pool areas.
SPACE: Salem Play Area for Canine Exercise 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.
There's a separate area for small dogs, which is perfect if you have a smaller breed that might be intimidated by larger dogs. This is a feature many dog owners specifically look for.
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.
The park has agility equipment, which is excellent for high-energy dogs that need both physical and mental stimulation. Even if your dog hasn't tried agility before, most dogs pick it up quickly with a little encouragement.
Best of all, SPACE: Salem Play Area for Canine Exercise 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 towel
Your dog will likely get wet at the water features. Save your car seats with a quick dry-off.
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: Requires annual Pooch Pass ($25) valid April 1 through March 31. Dogs must be registered with proof of city/town licensure, rabies vaccination, and distemper vaccination. Proof of spay/neuter required. No breed restrictions mentioned.
