About the Park
Owners looking to give their dogs off-leash time in Swampscott have a public park option in this small North Shore town on Massachusetts Bay. There is no fee to enter. The area is designated for off-leash use, letting dogs run and meet others without a leash. Swampscott's oceanfront position means cool, damp winters and comfortable summers shaped by sea breezes. Because fencing, surface, and hours are not recorded here, plan a careful first look—walk the perimeter, watch your dog near any open sides, and find the entrances before letting go of the leash. Bring water and waste bags for the visit. Check the current operating hours and any weather or seasonal closures with the town of Swampscott ahead of time.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Swampscott Dog Park 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.
Best of all, Swampscott Dog Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.

Poop bags
Most parks provide them, but don't rely on it. Always come prepared to clean up after your dog.
