At a previous meeting about the Master Plan (November 2007), several people spoke of the needs of park users with dogs. Designated off-leash recreational areas will attract usage to lawn areas, an explicit goal of the Master Plan. Indeed, no other suggestion was proffered at the meeting to attract usage to underused lawn areas.

For details, please see the official notice about the Mystic River Reservation Master Plan Meeting from the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation.
