Boulder Beach State Park

The Newbury Vet Clinic is directly behind Oscar's Memorial Dog Park. It runs on the generosity of its supporters. Please only bring friendly dogs. Conditions permitted.

A small group of volunteers founded the Town of Barre Community Dog Park in September 2017 with the goal of building a safe and secure fenced-in off-leash dog park. We got support from the Town of Barre after presenting our concept to the Recreation Board and the Select Board, as long as it was a donation-funded, volunteer-maintained dog park that did not require taxpayer funding. Janice King, Heidi Burghoff-Vihinen, and Illari Vihinen are the owners of the dog park agreement, which runs until June 30, 2019 and can be renewed if all parties agree. David Rouleau, Vice-Chair of the Recreation Board, and Elaine Wang, Assistant Town Manager, Town of Barre, are our key contacts with the Town.

The park features banks, quarterpipes, and boxes made of weather-treated wood. It comes with a 4' mini and a few rails. The park is always deserted, which adds to the enjoyment.

The North Branch River Park spans for about a mile along the river. A major multi-use walkway runs alongside the river, while a network of smaller multi-use trails, including some suitable to mountain biking, runs above it in the mountainous terrain. The park is also home to a variety of birds and other species, as well as valuable wetlands. Park Rules and history can be found by clicking on the links to the left.
