Dog Parks in Worcester

The weather is getting warmer and it is time to explore the city. We are extremely dog friendly here at the Grid in Worcester and even have a dog park on Portland St to give pup parents a quick place to visit without travelling outside of downtown. However, we think it is important to go on adventures your pet around the city and here are some dog friendly options for you!

Along with parks, hikes and trails, Worcester has a lot of dog friendly breweries. We suggest that you call and ask if your dog can come along.
