How about Jamaica Pond? That's a great place to walk your pooch!

Bad editor! How could I have left out the Pond? For me, I suppose it's the smells around the Pond are just way too interesting for my dog and it's a real pain to keep her moving!

I love the photos of Molly! As a non-dog owning person I love going to the Arnold Arboretum and playing with dogs. People are pretty cool with it, especially atop of Peters Hill.
I think the Forest Hills Cemetery is good for walking dogs that like fewer dogs and people on their walk, but then there's also Hibiscus Pond and lots of goose poop for puppies to eat!

Also, the Southwest Corridor Bikepath is a good place to walk and run into other pooches.

Well, it's not really a walk, but the Beecher St Dog Park is great!

Chris is right about the Pond. Between the ducks and the geese and the people and the other dogs, it's more of a meet and greet and chase, not really a walk!

Chris and other dog owners: Try the walk through the Olmstead Park on the other side of Perkins Street from Jamaica Pond around Wards Pond. You can cross Willow Pond Road and loop all the way around Leverett Pond as well. I have even seen deer in there very early on a Sunday morning. In the summer with full vegetation you almost can't believe you're in the city.
