Dogs only in the pool. They can’t swim during your time, so don’t try to swim during theirs! If you are interested in being a sponsor, click here.
Make sure you follow Petey the Piedmont Pup at Twitter.com/Piedmontpup to stay up on all the exciting things that are happening with the Dog Park.
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.
