Colonial Park's leash-free area spreads across three big fenced fields, with separate space for small and large dogs and enough room that it rarely feels crowded. Park staff keep the fences in good repair, and the regulars are attentive owners.

The rest of Colonial Park is steps away for a leashed walk along the canal, ponds, and lawns.
