Peters Park is a charming community park in Boston's South End, offering five acres of multipurpose recreational opportunities. The park, which is open daily between dawn and dusk, is best known as the home of Boston's first off-leash dog park, the Joe Wex Dog Recreation Space, which offers 13,000 square feet of play space for small and large breeds. Gorgeous mural art honors the survivors of Hurricane Katrina and the influential African-American poet and essayist Askia M. Toure. Other amenities offered at the park include a lovely children's playground, a Little League baseball field, two full-sized basketball courts with fan bleachers, and tennis and handball court spaces for public use.
