Union Street Dog Park
Long narrow downtown lot two blocks from Wooster Square
About this park
Union Street is a long, narrow fenced lot wedged between the street on one side and an active rail line on the other, two blocks from Wooster Square and the Pepe's and Sally's pizza corner. Ground cover is mostly dirt with patches of gravel, and reviewers note a working water bubbler in the warm months along with a small stash of donated tennis balls. The footprint is small and the location is not scenic, but the regulars and the central walk-up access keep it busy.

What visitors say
Synthesized from 95 Google reviewsReviewers value the secure double-gated fencing, the working water fountain in season, and the tight-knit downtown crowd that shows up daily. The proximity to Wooster Square and Little Italy is a frequent footnote.
A downtown apartment crowd anchors the park, with weekday lunch and after-work waves from nearby residents. Weekends draw a wider mix from the Wooster Square Saturday market a few blocks over.
Best for
Before you go
Trains run directly behind the back fence, so sound-sensitive dogs may struggle here. Street parking only, and the surface gets muddy after heavy rain.
