Piedmont Park Dog Park is a haven for dogs and humans alike! While a City of Atlanta ordinance requires all dogs in public areas to be leashed, Piedmont Dog Park is one of the few locations in metro Atlanta where dogs may run free. This special off-leash area, open since 2002, is one of the most popular features of Piedmont Park. Piedmont Dog Park features a nearly 3-acre dog run, separate enclosures for large and small dogs, new trails and landscaping and benches and restrooms for loyal owners.
