AKA... Pope John Paul II Park Reservation

.......also known as Pope Park, is a 66-acre (27 ha) Massachusetts state park bordering the Neponset River in the Dorchester section of Boston.

Great place to walk your pooch. Some people take their dogs off leash there (against rules), but usually put them back on when they see you/dogs approaching. People use paths to run and bike too. If your dog is afraid of loud plane noise, best not to go because the park is under landing route for Logan airport. The planes are low overhead coming in for a landing.

Decent Park in South End

After living in So Florida for 3 yrs, I am spoiled by the beautiful grassy parks there. This is not at all like that. Small pebbles over dirt. Still it’s good to get the dog out and socialize. Weekdays are full of dog walkers and their packs (too many per person by park rules). Mostly friendly—I’ve never had a problem. I go on the small dog side if there’s a dog or two there for my guy to play. Take note, it’s treacherous with snow/ice in winter and smelly in hotter months.
