Fresh Pond Reservation is a 162-acre shared-use off-leash dog park surrounding a 155-acre water supply reservoir in Cambridge. The park features a 2.2-mile loop trail for walking, running, and biking, with wooded areas, meadows, and a designated dog beach where Cambridge residents' dogs can legally swim.
Fresh Pond Reservation 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.
Dogs can enjoy water features here — great for cooling off on hot days. Bring a towel for the car ride home, because your pup will probably get soaked.
Walking trails are available, so you and your dog can enjoy a walk beyond just the off-leash area. Trails are a great option for dogs who enjoy sniffing and exploring at their own pace.
Best of all, Fresh Pond Reservation Dog Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
Fresh water and a bowl
Even parks with water fountains can have them out of service. Bring your own to be safe.
Poop bags
Most parks provide them, but don't rely on it. Always come prepared to clean up after your dog.
A towel
Your dog will likely get wet at the water features. Save your car seats with a quick dry-off.
High-value treats
Useful for practicing recall in a distracting environment and rewarding good social behavior.
Your dog's favorite toy
A familiar toy can help shy dogs feel more comfortable and give them something to focus on.
Note: Shared-Use Off-Leash Area where dogs must be under owner control, in sight, and respond to voice commands. Dogs must have current visible license (if over 6 months old). Keep dogs out of restoration areas. Clean up after your dog. Do not allow dogs to hurt, harass, jump on people or other dogs, or chase wildlife. Report dog bites to Cambridge Animal Commission. Non-compliance results in fines up to $100 per offense. Some areas require dogs to be on-leash; no dogs allowed in certain areas except service animals.
