Humans have fostered a relationship with dogs for roughly 16,000 years or more. To put that into perspective, the very first forms of written language only go back approximately 3,200 years. So it goes without saying that our love affair with our four-legged goofballs isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.

That’s especially true here in America. Dogs have long been a member of the American household 

Dog Parks Around Atlanta

With over 402 dog parks and green spaces to choose from, Atlanta is a great place for dog owners. So if your looking to make four or two-legged friends, consider properties near one of these great dog parks:

1. Piedmont Dog Park

Piedmont Dog Park is three acres worth of off-leash dog fun. With areas for both small and large breeds, dog water spickets, plenty of shade, benches, and a network of walking trails, it’s the perfect place to help your pooch get those zoomies out.

While real estate nearby usually goes for seven figures, little gems like this charming historic 1 bed, 1 bath apartment can be had for $300k.

2. Ormewood Dog Yard

In the words of one 5-star Google reviewer, “[Ormewood is] a neighborhood dog yard. Most people know each other and their dogs." Here neighbors can purchase a membership — only $5 per month for small breeds and up to $25 for large breeds — to help keep the place friendly, clean, and maintained for the community.

Homes near the Ormewood Dog Yard, like this nice 5 bed, 4 bath home, can go for as much as $800k.

3. Freedom Barkway Dog Park

The Freedom Barkway Dog Park offers two acres of pooch-friendly green space with specific areas for both small and large breeds. It’s centrally located too, meaning it’s a great convergence point when meeting friends from across town.

The Freedom Barkway Dog Park is part of Atlanta’s Old Fourth Ward, meaning it’s right in the heart of the city. Something like this 1 bed, 1 bath apartment listed for $255k would be perfect for a city-dwelling dog owner.

4. Fetch Park

Fetch Park is more than just a dog park: It’s a dog park concept with an open-air bar serving beer, wine, and mixed drinks. Recognized by large media outlets such as The Travel Channel, CNN, and ESPN, it’s worth dropping by Fetch Park for a little pooch and pilsner time.

Fetch Park is also close to Atlanta’s Old Fourth Ward. Perhaps this hip 1 bed, 1 bath industrial-chic apartment listed for $290k would be the perfect home base since it’s only a short walk away.

5. Oakhurst Dog Park

Oakhurst Dog Park, located in Decatur, is one large free-for-all of fun. It’s a no-frills dog park that provides the essentials and even features a substantial wooded area, which is nice on hot days — not to mention full of great earthy smells to delight canine companions.

Real estate nearby includes a mix of apartments and gorgeous older homes like this 3 bed, 2 bath cottage listed for $575k.

Beyond the numerous dog parks, Atlanta is home to over 382 pet-friendly establishments.
