Dog walking in Tyrone

Southampton

This is the area in Tyrone to go for a great bite to eat when visiting with your dog, as there are a few pup-friendly restaurants here. Wings and Things serve a selection of chicken dishes as well as sandwiches, burgers and cold drinks. Zesto is an old-school diner-style place with a variety of burgers, hot dogs, a selection of sides, specialty sandwiches and ice creams.

A short drive south of Tyrone is Peachtree City, where you will find the lovely Smokerise Park to stretch your legs. There are lots of great walking trails both in the park and surrounding areas, with lovely views of Lake Kendron. If you are looking for a pup-friendly place to eat around here, head to Azul Tequila Taqueria & Cantina Lounge for lunch at one of their pet-friendly outside tables. Enjoy a Mexican feast of nachos, fajitas, soups, salads or enchiladas. Brusters Real Icecream is also a great local Fido-friendly foodery – they serve not only delicious sweet treats for people, but for dogs too!

Take some time out with your pup to wander through the Line Creek Nature Area in Peachtree City, set amongst 70 acres of public preserve. Well-marked and maintained trails make for an easy walk and cover around three miles, from the creek up into the woods. Keep your pup on a lead through here and make sure you clean up after him. Bring water for you both and a doggie drinking bowl. After your walk, head to Los Mariachis for a Mexican-inspired lunch, or the Flying Biscuit Café for a salad, sandwich or wrap. Your dog is welcome to join you at both of these places at one of their outside tables.

The Ridge Nature Preserve in Fayetteville is a picturesque place to take Fido for a walk and a must-see if in the area. Located between two creeks, this newly-developed area offers numerous hiking trails on over 308 acres of natural bushland. Get your bearings at the site map, located at the entrance to the park, and see if you can find the rest area with the three big oaks. There are picnic areas and toilet facilities here, so pack yourself some lunch and make a day of it! Make sure you also take plenty of drinking water for you both and clean up bags for pup.

Down in Peachtree City, check out the Peachtree City Dog Park where your pup can escape the lead for a good run and find some new friends to play with. There are three separate fenced areas here to accommodate varying sizes and activity levels, each with a gazebo and ample seating for you. Clean up bags are provided on-site, as is water, but bring a dog bowl and a bottle for you. Visitors are asked to deposit a $1 donation (for up to three dogs) at the entrance for park upkeep. There is ample parking at the adjacent BMX track with easy accessibility.
