Dog Walkers in Carver Hills

Carver Hills is a small residential neighborhood located in the northwest suburbs of Atlanta, Georgia. As the state capital of Georgia, Atlanta is home to a variety of businesses, universities, museums, and more. It was home to the 1996 Summer Olympics, served as pivotal city in the 1960s Civil Rights Movement, boasts the busiest airport in the world, and is home to four major professional sports teams including the Atlanta Braves and the Atlanta Falcons. Atlanta is also home to several corporation headquarters like Delta Airlines and Coca-Cola. 

Carver Hills, however, is strictly a residential community with many standalone, single-family homes and an apartment complex on the east side of the neighborhood. There is also a small grocery store on one of the eastern borders. 

As a true Southern city, Atlanta experiences a more mild winter with only rare snowfall and brutally hot and humid summers. Spring and fall months boast mild temperatures and average rainfall. 

As a suburb of Atlanta, the Carver Hills neighborhood is made of artificial and manicured terrain. No area of this community is natural terrain which is made even more evident by the fact that Carver Hills' eastern border runs up against railroads and other tracks for public transportation services. 

In terms of walking around, Carver Hills does have some challenges. First, there are no sidewalks in this neighborhood and, second, it is quite hilly. So always make sure you have Fido on a safe leash. Additionally, always be aware of your surroundings as you will be sharing the roadways with other pedestrians and oncoming traffic. 

The boundaries of Carver Hills include Abner Place to the north, Perry Boulevard to the east, Proctor Creek to the south, and Hollywood Road to the west. Thankfully, this residential neighborhood doesn't have major roadways going through it, so you and Fido shouldn't have to deal with high-speed traffic. 

While looking at a map, you may see two greenways located in Carver Hills, however, one of the greenways is actually a cemetery and pups are not welcomed on the grounds. The one public greenway located in this residential neighborhood is Abner Place Park on Abner Place NW. This park has a small playground, a bench, and a basketball hoop. Unfortunately, there are no off-leash areas for your furry friends to enjoy. Even so, Abner Place Park is a great place for you and Fido to stop at. Just be sure to always clean up after your visit!

Thankfully, there are several other greenways located in Carver Hills' surrounding neighborhoods. These include Lillian Cooper Shepherd Park, Jackson Trace, Carey Park, AD Williams Park, Herman E. Perry Park, Westside Reservoir Park, and Center Hill Park. 

Unfortunately, there are no dog parks close to Carver Hills and you would have to travel quite a distance to find one of these off-leash areas.
