Off-Leash Dog Information

In the Spring of 2010, Arlington Town Meeting approved a by-law amendment for limited off-leash hours in the morning, at select Arlington parks (Article 36). The Recreation Department and Park and Recreation Commission have developed rules and regulations for where and when off-leash dog activity is allowed.

Full Rules, Regulations and Guidelines
Please carefully read the Off-leash Dogs in Arlington Parks brochure here for complete rules and regulations.

Please Note: Off-leash dog activity is suspended when parks and fields are closed due to weather conditions or special events. To be alerted via email of when parks and fields are closed, subscribe to the Field Conditions Notification email list at arlingtonma.gov/subscriber. Emails are sent when Field status changes. You may also check Field Status anytime online here.  Generally fields are closed when rain is heavy, if unsure, keep your dog on-leash.

A list of all Arlington parks and fields can be found here. Please read the Off-leash Dogs in Arlington Parks brochure for locations where off-leash dog activity is allowed. It is not allowed at all parks.
