Dog Friendly Places: Castle Island


Castle Island in the Summer

Fort Independence Park, or Castle Island as the locals call it, is one of my favorite places to take Riley for a run. You will catch a lot of runners with their dogs along the water because of the awesome breeze, and the dog bowls that are at just about every water fountain you pass along the way. make it easy to keep your dog cool Even if Riley and I are feeling a little lazy, Castle Island is still a perfect place to just relax and take in the beautiful view of Boston.
Located at City Point in South Boston, this is one of the best places to go on hot summer days. The park is very family friendly, your pup would love to spend the day running around the green grass, taking in the cool ocean breeze and maybe having a picnic with the whole family. You may want to bring an umbrella though, as there are not many shade trees. Need some food for the picnic? All the regular visitors of the park will let you know that Sullivan’s, which is located at the base of the castle, has good food that is reasonable priced. Every weekend Castle Island is filled with people and their pups looking to get away from the busy city, and its fun to watch the little ones get excited to see the planes pass over their heads when they take off out of Logan Airport, although sometimes it can get a bit crowded

Testimonials

Running the Pack is absolutely wonderful.  When I first got my puppy, Jill walked me through what the best walking schedule would best, as well as passed along some advice about how to make sure the walks that he was on with me were encouraging him to be the best little doggy-citizen he could be….I love how committed and caring Jill and all her staff are.
