Newton gets its first off leash dog park.
Cold Spring Park
Two signs mark the back entrance to Cold Spring Park in Newton. The first is a slightly rusting warning that all dogs must be on leashes, lest the owner wants to pay a $50 fine. The second, which was put up Tuesday, sends a slightly different message: “Dogs must be leashed until you reach the off-leash area” it says below a map of the park. With this sign comes Newton’s first legal dog park, at least for a nine month trial period.
