Dog Days on the Charles

Sam at Magazine Beach, Cambridge

The Charles River Parklands are a perfect place for you and your dog.
Just ask Sam.
At Magazine Beach, it’s all about rabbits – under the wooden bridge, in the bushes – where are they and how fast can they run?
Herter Park? It’s the geese and ducks … so nice and noisy when aggravated.
The Watertown stretch of the river is great for sticks.
Any part of the Parklands is good for balls – tennis balls, basketballs, medicine balls, field hockey balls, softballs, volley balls, beach balls – no ball too small or tall for Sam.
And did I mention Frisbees?
And not to forget all the other dogs who have trained their families to bring them to the river. All are potential best friends and are examined with great enthusiasm.
The variety is endlessly fascinating, and not just for Sam. Springtime daffodils, summer games and gatherings, rowers preparing for races in the fall, skiing and snowshoeing in winter – all times are good times along the Charles.
Bring your beastie to the river (with lots of scoop bags please!). 
Sam will show you around….
