There’s plenty for you and your pup to do, including taking in the spectacular view of the city skyline at Woodruff Park, a popular place for locals, out-of-towners, and professional dog walkers in Atlanta. Another park that offers a sniffin’ good time for leashed dogs is Centennial Olympic Park. Athletes and lazy lapdogs alike will love a wander around the Fountain of Rings Plaza, a colorful monument to the 1996 Olympic Games. When your bellies start rumbling, treat yourselves to a burger or a cup of joe at one of downtown's many dog-friendly alfresco eateries. Or, if you'd prefer a little retail therapy instead, hit the nearby pet-friendly boutique with your doggy diva.Keep reading2
Atlantic Station
Atlantic Station is a quaint, compact neighborhood just a bone's throw from Midtown. Dubbed one of the "most walkable neighborhoods of Atlanta", Atlantic Station is a wagtastic spot to take your woofer for a walk past the neighborhood's shopping outlet. If Sparky needs some fresh air, amble around Millennium Gate, a museum-slash-park and a firm favorite with Atlanta dog walkers. The true treasure for your Terrier, though, is Atlantic Station Dog Park! This small park is open to doggos of all sizes, so it may not be the best option for protective pups or those who aren't exactly friendly with most mutts. When you've had all the off-leash fun you can handle, leash up and take a short walk south into Home Park, where you'll find dog-friendly dining options galore, from Mexican and Asian fare to burgers and pub grub.
