Hood Park Dog Playground

The boston light festival be prepared its a carnival winter style expensivr

What a waste. This park WILL damage your dogs paws. I thought no way would they make a park this way if it wasn’t suitable. Wrong. My dog is half lab half wolfhound, always outside, on hikes, everywhere with no issue - he had cuts he licked on his paws for weeks after bringing him here only twice. I will never understand if they did not want to cough up the money to maintain grass or sod why not just put sand down? It would look less like a prison yard and the dogs of the area could actually use it.

#Boston Winter fest ⛄️ ❄️ 🎄 🎅 …

This is a great park to let your dog run free with other dogs. The only issue I have is there are a few, inconsiderate, dog owners/dog walkers that do not clean up after their pets.

Horrible park, very sharp on the pups feet. Very isolated park with zero green space. Not safe for women alone with a pup as there is very little population there. My daughter found herself alone with a stranger in this desolate park with their dogs and was not at all comfortable. Charlestown needs to do better than this.

Huge trendy industrial dog park in Hood park, (smaller and larger parks), next to a new restaurant, and other small businesses, adjacent to a small beautiful walking area.

Dog-friendliness NAM-MYO-HO-RENGE-KYO   Nam comes from the Sanskrit word namas, which was translated in Chinese and Japanese as meaning “to dedicate one’s life.” “Dedication,”when dedicated to this principle, our lives become based on wisdom that perceives that truth and functions in response to any changing circumstance.                                  Myo can be translated as mystic or wonderful, and ho means law. This law is called mystic because it is difficult to comprehend. What exactly is it that is difficult to comprehend? It is the wonder of ordinary people, beset by delusion and suffering, awakening to the fundamental law in their own lives, bringing forth wisdom and compassion and realizing that they are inherently Buddhas able to solve their own problems and those of others. The Mystic Law transforms the life of anyone—even the unhappiest person, at any time and in any circumstances—into a life of supreme happiness. Renge, meaning lotus blossom, is a metaphor that offers further insight into the qualities of this Mystic Law. The lotus flower is pure and fragrant, unsullied by the muddy water in which it grows. Similarly, the beauty and dignity of our humanity is brought forth amidst the sufferings of daily reality.

Very sharp gravel, my dog hates this park.

Disgusting. Dog walkers come here, leave dogs in the entry gates, then don't clean up after them. It was great when it first opened, but honestly the health department should come over to check it out. It can't be safe for dogs or humans with the amount of feces that are in there. I live nearby and I have heard of several dog owners who have had pets become very sick with fecal oriented diseases towards the end of the summer - after that most people in the area just stopped brining their pets in here. the smell even from across the street is nuclear. Hood Park Management needs to address it.
