Why doesn’t Brookline have a dog park, so dogs can always be off-leash?
Brookline is an urban community with a limited amount of park space available. Many different types of users value and appreciate our well-maintained network of open spaces, and we have to balance the needs of these users. A dedicated dog park would require taking existing parkland and converting it to this use. The Park and Recreation Commission has not identified an ideal location for a dog park at this time.
