I figure this is a long shot, but I’m looking for a fenced in yard big enough to do training and play fetch with my dog. I’d pay by the hour, and you could even set it up on Sniffspot to make it official. We do take our dog to dog parks, but it’d be nice to have a place to go and not worry about potentially aggressive or not well socialized dogs. Feel free to PM if you have any questions. Thanks!
In an ideal world I’d prefer at least 30-40 feet in one direction, since he’s a bigger dog. If it’s narrow that’s totally fine
Use the sniffspot app!
There’s unfortunately nothing in the neighborhood! I’m hoping there’s someone here with a yard that hadn’t heard of Sniffspot, but would be interested in creating an account
If you have access to a car, check out Honeywell Park. Fun fact, it is double fenced
Uhh are you a murderer? If not and you're willing to go to Peabody we could maybe work something out. We have a 2 year old Shepard mix so play dates may be more in line, again if you're open to that.... And not a murderer
I’m definitely not a murderer and I’d definitely be up for that. Feel free to PM me. You can look through my post history to see pictures of my golden doodle. Could be a little far for a daily thing but could work for the weekends!
Creating an extensive post history with pictures of a golden doodle is exactly what a murderer would do!
There’s an apartment complex on the corner of Inman st and Harvard st that has its own yard/rec area and it’s own fenced in dog park.
The entrance is on Harvard street, between the building and a fence. I rarely see anyone there
Do you mean Hunnewell Park out in Newton? As far as I know that big play area is NOT double fenced. There are also two separate gates which makes me nervous. One time there was a groundskeeper working on the premises who left the back gate ajar and a few of the doggies got out. We do not go there anymore.
Yeah I meant that. And i suppose by double fenced I mean, the entire park is fenced, and theres a dog park, so you can use that for whatever comfort level you have.
If you can get up early, many of the dog parks are empty. The Pemberton dog run is usually empty before 7/730 (especially on weekends) Danehy usually gets some other dogs earlier, but there is a small side park that is almost always empty anyway (same place as the larger one, just to the side)
We do sometimes go to Pemberton, but the gravel gets our dog dirty, the fence is sometimes broken, and there are burrs from overgrown bushes that get all over our dog.
Yeah I know what you mean about Pemberton . Danehy is nicer but a little busier if you can go early / don’t mind the smaller section
oh gotcha. I think technically you need some sort of pass to use the smaller dog park. if we're thinking about the same part of the park, it's also pretty small.
Our dog is 55 pounds so he probably wouldn't fit in the small section haha. I mostly want a private space where I can keep a long line on him to grab him when it's time to go since his recall is awful, but it would be too dangerous to have it on him if there are dogs at the park
good luck finding someone with that big of a yard, in Cambridge , who is also on Reddit , who is also open to letting a stranger come use it lol
That's why I said it was a long shot! Worth taking 10 seconds to make a post at least.
They do have a "Private Property, No Trespassing" sign on the gate.
Hey so that’s a different apartment, if you keep walking away from Inman street there is a sidewalk that takes you back there. On the sidewalk the building will be on your left, a wooden fence on your right.
Once you pass the fence you’ll see a couple picnic tables and grill, and at the end of the yard there’s a dog play area

How big are you looking for? 15x15 ft? 20x20 ft?
