Off leash dog playground

Brookline’s Green Dog Program operates 14 designated off-leash dog areas across town parks, allowing registered dogs to play without leashes during specific hours that vary by location, with most offering early morning sessions from dawn to 9:00 AM or mid-day options from dawn to 1:00 PM depending on the season. Dog owners must obtain a Green Dog permit through Brookline Town Hall, with annual resident permits costing $50, and dogs must be licensed, vaccinated, and registered to participate in this community initiative that balances off-leash recreation with shared park use.
