 In the past there have been attempts made by citizens to create a dog park in Charlestown. Recently, DCR has revisited the design and future use of Paul Revere park and thus, the door for a discussion about the formation of a dog park has been reopened.

Over the next several years the space behind the finished section of Paul Revere Park will go through some drastic changes, making it a heavily traveled pedestrian way. Footpaths and bridges will traverse the landscape, connecting Charlestown’s green space to the North Point Park as well as to the North End greenway. It is critical that before ground is struck in December, we get a space carved out for a dog park in what will be a truly wonderful mass of green space in our backyard.

The timing for the creation of The Friends could not be more appropriate due to the DCR’s revisiting of Paul Revere Park’s design, but now, more than ever, the need for a dog park for Charlestown residents is strong. Charlestown’s budding canine population calls for the creation of a space where dog owners can safely exercise their dogs away from public spaces meant to be enjoyed by non-canine residents. Using the South End’s Peter’s Park as our inspiration, The Friends Of The Charlestown Dog Park vows to firmly lobby for the creation of this well needed public access venue.

Below is an overhead of Paul Revere Park (see website for picture). The outlined parcel is a plot of land that the Friends think would make an excellent area for the park based on the fact that it would not be a premium area for pedestrian foot traffic and because it is already fenced off. However, the Friends are open to suggestions from the powers that be on where a dog park may be carved out…
