The Boneyard is Kingston’s dog park. It is located in the same neighborhood as the transfer station and a wind turbine. “Dedicated to fun and exercise with your dog.” A Kingston Dog Park Badge is required.

Features

All handlers must wear a Kingston Dog Park Badge, available at the Kingston Town Clerk during normal business hours, with proof of valid dog license and current rabies vaccination. Available for residents and non-residents.

Handlers are limited to a maximum of 3 dogs and must remove pet waste immediately. Children ages 12 and under are prohibited within the Dog Park area. Children ages 13-15 are permitted only with adult supervision.

The park was established by the Town of Kingston in partnership with the Friends of Kingston Dogs, thanks to a significant contribution by the Stanton Foundation plus Community Preservation Funds. It is operated and maintained by the Friends of Kingston Dogs.

This land is within the region of the Patuxet, members of the Wampanoag tribe, who inhabited the area around the Jones River now known as Duxbury, Kingston and Plymouth. To learn more about local Native American tribes, we encourage you to interact with their members. The Mashpee Wampanoag and the Herring Pond Wampanoag share information on their websites.

Trail Description

Large, sunny, fenced in areas for large and small (25 lbs. or less) dogs.

Habitats and Wildlife

The Boneyard is part of the Smelt Brook watershed. Smelt Brook flows northeast through Kingston and into Foundry Pond before merging with the Jones River at Rocky Nook. Not far downstream, the Jones River empties into Kingston Bay. Follow the Jones River Watershed Association for more information.
