At Piedmont Park Conservancy, we know how much our furry friends mean to us. That’s why the Piedmont Park Dog Parks are an off-leash for almost a million dogs each year. It has also been consistently recognized as one of Atlanta’s best dog parks.
Did you know we spend $100 each week to keep the entire Park stocked with free doggie bags? Your financial support allows us to keep this space free, stocked up and in puppy-approved condition.
Honor Your Favorite Four-Legged Friend with a Meaningful Donation
With a $50 donation to Piedmont Park Conservancy’s Dog Parks, your dog can have their very own personalized bone displayed on the off-leash area fence for an entire year!
A Conservancy staff member will reach out to you by the end of the year to assist with customizing your dog’s bone. All donations directly support the maintenance and improvement of Piedmont Park’s off-leash areas.
Please email donations@piedmontpark.org or call 404-692-6135 for more details about supporting the dog parks. We are happy to work with you to create a special tribute that fits your individual needs.
