The City of Cambridge announced today that the pilot of off-leash dog use at Sacramento Field will transition into an ongoing program, similar to several other successful shared use locations around the City. Shared use off-leash areas are places where dogs are allowed off-leash in outdoor spaces located near other park uses and activities. These spaces differ from dedicated off-leash spaces that are generally fenced to facilitate the containment of off-leash dogs.
