DDAWG (Dartmouth Dog Advisory Work Group) is excited to announce that the Off Leash Recreation Area (OLRA) commonly referred to as the “Permanent Dog Park” will be having a grand opening late Spring 2026! We will post the date and time when the town announces it.

       The effort began back in 2014 to bring a regional dog park to Dartmouth. The Town and the Department of Parks and Recreation provided a temporary site in the Dartmouth Regional Parks and Trails Facility located at 443 Old Fall River Rd. DDAWG volunteers have been monitoring and maintaining the temporary park since it opened in June of 2017.

    Town officials continued to believe in this project and persevered. With continued support from Parks and Recreation, the Town’s Development Office, and especially the CPC (Conservation Preservation Commission), the permanent dog park is a reality. In 2017, the Town’s Community Preservation Committee (CPC) approved a grant of $291,671 to fund improvements at the Dartmouth Regional Park, located at 443 Old Fall River Road. DDAWG successfully completed their fundraising campaign and raised $15,000 to contribute towards the project.

 WE COULD NOT HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT ALL OF YOUR PARTICIPATION AND SUPPORT OF OUR FUNDRAISERS THROUGHOUT THE YEARS!

With sincere gratitude, the DDAWG Board of Directors 🐾❤️
