Dog Parks

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.
