- Green Dog Program
The Green Dog Program is an innovative approach to meeting our dogs' and dog owners' desire to have time off-leash, while sharing the spaces with other park users in our urban community. Brookline has 14 off-leash areas scattered across the town, with specific off-leash hours established by the Park and Recreation Commission.

You can renew your dog license online here. License renewals are processed through the Town Clerk's office.
For more information on the online renewal process, please refer to this dog license renewals guide.
We have a Green Dog hotline, which you can call 24 hours a day to find out if fields are closed due to wet conditions or for other reasons. The Green Dog hotline is 617-879-4850.
You can also check the calendar for updated field closure information due to inclement weather or scheduled / permitted use by other groups.
The Brookline Police Department / Animal Control is responsible for enforcement of town by-laws and park regulations regarding dogs. To report violations, call 617-730-2222.
Please feel free to contact the Parks and Open Space Division with any questions at 617-879-5650 or by email.
