As a dog lover, it really helps that Atlanta is full of dog friendly parks. Here you will find 14 of the most amazing dog friendly parks in metro Atlanta that are worth a visit for Fido.
My dog Otis has lived in Atlanta his entire life. As a puppy, he grew up with his older sister and we frequented many dog parks in Atlanta for socialization and to burn this crazy dog’s puppy energy.
We have a backyard, but sometimes it is fun to get out to the park, go for a walk and just chat with other folks.
