Green Dog Program
This program is an innovative approach to meeting our dogs’ and dog owners’ desire to have time off-leash, while sharing the spaces with other park users in our urban community. Brookline has 14 off-leash areas scattered across the Town, with specific off-leash hours established by the Park and Recreation Commission. Green Dog Program off-leash hours and parks can be found in the current Green Dog Brochure or by visiting www.brooklinema.gov/GreenDog The Green Dog Program is an optional recreation program and requires a fee to participate. All dogs must be wearing a current Green Dog tag to take advantage of off-leash privileges. Green Dog Program fees cover the calendar year. Green Dog tags will expire at the end of December each year and must be renewed for the following year.
