Peters Park — Attraction in Boston

Peter's park is cute -- but it could be better. During the week it is mostly dog walkers (who are, thankfully, pretty responsible).

Over the weekend, specifically a Sunday when I experienced this, there was a HORRID group of owners and their hyperactive, untrained, unsocialized frenchies for a frenchy meet up.

It's a pretty good dog park. It's fenced in, with double gated entrances on either side, and there's a smaller separate area for small (
