Piedmont Dog Park

Gorgeous Piedmont Park is a popular gathering place in Atlanta, and caters to lots of human activities, including concerts, gardens, sports, a farmer's market, and lots of furbulous green space to explore right in the heart of the city. But for dogs, the Piedmont Dog Park is the place to be!

This pupular dog park is easy to find near the Boardwalk inside the park, to the east of the Tennis Center and north of the Education Garden. With 3-acres of fully fenced pooch play space, the double-gated entry provides even more security. There's lots of room for every dog here, and even a small dog section for pups 30 lbs. and under. The terrain is composed of soft wood chips and dirt, and with boulders to climb and trees for shade, this natural space will have your dog's tail wagging! 

Benches provide puptastic places to relax while keeping an eye on your pup, and trails wind around for some calming exercise. Water fountains are available for the pooches, and restrooms are even provided for the humans right on site! For the dogs, the park provides clean-up bags and trash cans throughout, so dispensing of your dog's waste is easy. And if you come on the weekend, concession stands even offer Dog Popsicles!

Make sure your dog is up to date on all their vaccinations, and wearing their current license tag on their collars. While your dog is free to play without a leash inside the dog park, be sure it stays on when entering or exiting the fenced in areas, and anywhere outside of them. If your dog gets enough dog park action, they can explore the rest of Piedmont Park with you on leash. Trek a trail, find a cozy spot by the water to take in the city skyline, or explore the gardens. 

The next time your pup is giving you the sad eyes, bring them to the Piedmont Dog Park to see what all the barking is about!
