Confirmed from Chattapoochee Dog Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Dog-friendly park featuring grassy fields to run on, plus fountains and wooded areas.
What runners say about Chattapoochee Dog Park
“Very clean, for the most part everyone picks up after their dog.”
“Great park for dogs to run around, with a sprinkler system set up for those hot days to cool them down.”
“Pros: Large, grassy area to run, wooded/shaded spaces, misting fountain Cons: Many do not pick up after their pups, watch your step Bring poop bags Bring water”

Both my dog and myself love this park. After running around playing, we walk down the the river to cool off. Bring your own water for the dogs though.
Great dog park with good shade. I would give it five stars if it had a restroom. This park does have bridge access to Cauley Creek Park on the other side of the Chattahoochee. Cauley has a rubberized surface path around the perimeter of the park (about three miles).
Nice place! Huge area for the large breed dogs. There is a tiner of the dog fountain. The cutsu looking plants could be trimmed down more. They look like poison ivy to me and scare me. Could use a few more benches as well. Overall great place to be. Would go again. My dog seemed to like it as well.
Trail conditions & character
“It has Astro turf instead of real grass, water fountains for the dogs, and plenty of benches to sit on.”
