Congratulations to us all!! Let’s keep it going. 💗

The newly-reopened Flaherty Playground is one small step for Chihuhuas, and one giant step for German shepherds — as it includes the first-ever official dog park in Jamaica Plain. The playground features a fenced-in dog run complete with a water fountain for dogs, a very cool three-level treehouse...

The first official dog park is now open in JP inside Flaherty Playground. It’s a huge success and let’s make sure we keep it that way. Please pick up after your pup and any stray poops pick those up too - it’s good karma. 😍. And remember this is a neighborhood park so be respectful of the neighbors concerns of excessive noise and parking. If we want more dog parks, this one must be a shining example. Thank you!

Urge Forest Hills Cemetery to Reallow Dogs on Their Grounds

Apparently, dog parks are now a rallying cry of the ultra-right against dog owners.  This is beyond “weird.”  🤪

Apparently, dog parks are now a rallying cry of the ultra-right against dog owners. This is beyond “weird.” 🤪

Kevin Roberts claims the government promotes “antifamily culture” in the new book, which was reviewed by Media Matters on Thursday.

The public comment period for the DCR's redesign of the Southwest Corridor Park has been extended until July 9! But please don't wait. Make your voice heard and let the DCR know how important it is to have multiple dog parks along the corridor that will accommodate both active, larger dogs and smaller dogs. The original plan was to build a dog park along the Oakdale train tracks location and this would have been 23,500 sf! Unfortunately, the DCR is now backing off of this plan in favor of a much smaller space (10,000 sf) at the Everett Street "Train Tot Lot" area. Please let them know that size does matter when it comes to having a space for dogs to safely move around one another during active play. Ask them to reconsider the Oakdale site and/or make the Everett dog park as large as possible. It's up to you! The more people speak up, the better! Thank you!

Submit a comment to DCR on a proposed capital project, policy, or program.

🚨 ACTION NEEDED BEFORE JULY 1ST! 🚨 Franklin Park belongs to the community! Don’t let the City of Boston take it away. If you support a renovated, public White Stadium and a better location for Shattuck Hospital services, contact MA Attorney General Andrea Campbell for help. She knows our needs!
