Pine Banks Dog Park, MA 02148

I like that it is divided into large dogs and small dogs, it is clean and it doesn't stink, there is a lot of park and much more to walk in the forest.

I wanted so bad for this park to be a frequent spot but I (the human) haven’t felt welcome by the Melrose residents and other dog owners. I’ve been to this park 3 times in the last year the first experience, my puppy was attacked by a German Shepard. No serious injuries but maybe some trauma. The other times, dog owners were not friendly. Now I walk the trails and avoid the dog park. Makes me sad and a little annoyed because this park has plenty of space for my high energy pup to run around. Try the park regardless of this review this may not be your experience.

Nice park! We came with our dog on a Saturday afternoon and there were a few other dogs there. The area was super big with lots of room to play. The gravel was hard to walk on and our dog seemed to not feel totally comfortable running on it (but he’s a baby). I wish there was a water fountain or obstacles - just some amenities to help occupy the dogs longer. It also needs more benches! There are only two in the large dog run.
