They charge $100.00 for any dog from outside of Newton to use the park. The park is very muddy and appears to be in part in Brighton. (Elmhurst Rd is end of Newton).

Park 9 has been magical for my dogs. My labradoodle was super sweet but was becoming a curmudgeon…read morein the absence of socialization, but after a couple of attacks in dog parks, I felt helpless. Park 9 gave him a chance to interact with other dogs and now he's reliably sweet when saying hello to other canines on the street. Love the staff who are all attentive and professional, not to mention friendly. But the real miracle is our 14 year old Shih Tzu-- we had written him off as completely hostile to other dogs. Park 9 had some strange magical effect on him and at least while he's there, he's not driven to a murderous rage at the sight of another being of the canine persuasion. Wonders will never cease. The bar is nice-- I can recommend the Paw-ga-Rita. Beers are nice too. Just a great way to end the day. Don't pay attention to the haters on here-- don't know why they're deriding this gem of a place.

For the…read moremost part I am giving up on dog parks. 1) This park has a tendency of creating a lot of puddles. My silly dog likes to drink puddle water when i am not looking so he gets a dog flue. 2) My pup also tends to get doggie flue from other dogs even though he has had his bortadella shot and all other puppy shots. 3) Some dogs are turning aggressive and dominant towards my pup. As my pup gets older his sexual maturity is more prominent. He is 10 months old now. Most recent visit a boxer tried to attack him. 4) Obedience issues. Dog parks by nature have a tendency of making dogs less obedient. They go wild going around running and jumping so all those commands I taught my dog at home are useless here. 5) I have realized that my pup does not need dog friends. I am his only friend. That is the only friend he needs. After I bring him home from this park he is more rowdy than ever. Trying to establish his dominance on me. As a pack leader I end up spending 30 minutes calming him down. After visiting this dog park I have learned that dogs aren't meant to be at dog parks. There are way too many dangerous and obedience issues that come out of dog parks.

This is a neat little dog park for folks living or visiting a little south of Central Square. The…read morepark is gravel with some grass patches, which doesn't seem to bother any dogs, but I wish there was more. Per long-term pet parents, the grass has been gradually growing year-after-year, so maybe it will be fully grass someday. There are bowls and water fountains with adequate water pressure to ensure dogs stay hydrated when playing. There are some cliques at certain times, but haven't experienced anyone being rude - actually quite the opposite. People seem to be interested to learn and meet the newcomers (we moved back in January). The only issue I have come across is a dog walker once around 12:00pm on a weekday. He had 3-4 dogs and they all ran in and started humping mine and the walker did nothing about it, so when I got the dog off I took mine and left. Outside of this, the owners seem all responsible and are good at clocking signs when their dogs may be overstimulated or not liking another dog and will recall them. My pup is still learning how to interact with people but loves playing with other dogs. All the owners have been very respectful of him & his space and allowing him to approach them when he's ready. It's nice to see there are really nice, educated dog owners around the area!

Personal Experience with Pet Pals…read more A few years ago, I was walking some dogs at the Fells near the Winford Way entrance in Medford. While we were there, Dave -- the owner of Pet Pals -- approached me. He seemed upset that I was walking in that area, saying I "didn't understand" the rules and that it was his designated spot to walk dogs, implying that no one else was allowed there. I reminded him that it's public land and open to everyone. At that point, he became physically aggressive and pushed me twice -- the second time hard enough that I lost control of my dogs' leashes. He then ran toward my dogs and appeared to try to scatter them, so they'd run off. I called the police, who arrived, spoke with both of us, and said something along the lines of, "There are three sides to every story." I decided not to pursue it further at the time and just moved on. I recently came across Pet Pals again, and I felt people should have the full picture before deciding whether to use this company. This is my personal experience, shared in good faith so others can make their own decisions. Hopefully, others have had better luck with Dave, the owner of Pet Pals -- formerly based in Winchester and now operating out of Woburn, as far as I know.

The owners who come here pay such great attention to their dogs. It's always clean and there is always toys for the dogs to play with. All the dogs in here are very well behaved too and I've never seen a fight. I like that it's not rocks like peter's park so it does not smell at all. My most recent visit was a Sunday morning and there was about 5 other dogs in there the entire time me and my girls visited. Someone had set up a plastic kiddy pool so all the dogs who wanted to were having a lot of fun in it. I would give this 5 stars but I get nervous when people walk in and out of the one door that doesn't have a double gate.
