About this park

A smaller, well-shaded Fitchburg park with a gravel loop, a short wood-chip path through the trees, and a proper water fountain with multiple spigots for filling bowls. Small enough that you can keep eyes on your dog from anywhere on the loop.

Before you go

The parking lot is small and the sign caps the park at 15 dogs at a time, so plan for off-peak visits if you're coming from outside Fitchburg. There are no restrooms on site.
