the construction team manager.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Piedmont 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 Park Conservancy urges you to be a responsible dog
owner. Cleaning up after your pet is the law! Doggie waste
bags are provided throughout the park. Please urge violators
to clean up after their pets as well. Fines for allowing a
dog to run off-leash or for not cleaning up after them include
a fine of up to $1,000, a prison term up to 1 year, community
service up to six months, or a combination of the above. Don't
let this happen to you.
| A
few key rules to remember: |
| • |
Use of the Dog
Park is at your own risk. |

the action of their dogs. |

their dog’s behavior and move to another area
of the park if requested. |
| • |

in the OLA. |
| • |
The small dog enclosure is
