By far, the best dog park I've been to! It was a weekday around 4pm. Not a lot of traffic in the area which helped with my fearful pup. She walked in nervous but based on the size, separation, terrain, and generally amount of fun corners to explore, she walked out of there tail up, nose up, and exhausted! So happy to have found this very well maintained park on a trip to explore prior to moving to the area! Side note: pick up after your dogs! Bring your own doggie bags, limited trash cans, looks like some amazing locals maintain the drinking water and that's much appreciated!! read more

Went here when I was first picking out a go-to park for my dog, and it was pretty okay besides the weird layout. When I went the seating was pretty bad and sparce, which isn't rare for public dog parks, and it was hard for me to find the second section of the park at first. I usually prefer a dog park that's a size where you can both sit and keep an eye on your dog the whole time, and is large enough for dogs to play in and have a lot of space, and there are better parks with better layouts for both of these in Atlanta. I'd recommend Oakhurst. Why the bad review though? I've gone to dog parks frequently for 18 months, and Adair is the only dog park where someone STOLE MY DOG'S LEASH. WHO DOES THAT. Now that I've spent more time in dog parks, I find the fact that that happened even stranger than it was at first, because I've never even heard of it happening somewhere else. And because of the street only parking, I had to carry my 30lb dog back to my car. Completely insane. read more

Not my favorite dog park ever but a good option for the neighborhood. There's only street parking and there was a wedding happening at the venue next door so we ended up having to park all the way down the street which was kind of annoying. I didn't notice any poop bag stations or garbage cans inside the park. It had been raining the week prior and the ground was still wet and soggy. The owners and dogs were all very friendly and well behaved. There were several dog bowls and water jugs and places to sit. It looks small at first but if you walk towards the back, there's an adjoining area which is pretty large as well. On the plus side, lots of shade! Be sure to wear bug spray if you are susceptible to mosquitos. read more

This is my go-to neighborhood dog park. Atlanta is great for dog owners since there are many patio restaurants and parks everywhere. With all the trees (that keep my dog from overheating--the fat sausage dog) this place has become my favorite dog park in Decatur. Being a huge, U-shaped park,there's a natural separation--so if your dogs aren't getting along one can just go on the other side. There isn't a separate small dog section, but I believe it's big enough to keep owners and pups happy. There's also water jugs and water bowls for your doggies. All owners keep an eye on their dogs and are friendly. The great part is that everyone does make sure to keep the water jug full. If you're feeling anti-social nobody will bother you either since everyone just sits and watches their dogs or are on their phones. There's also always a bunch of other dogs here (but not too much to be overcrowded) when I go after work from 6-8 PM. There are multiple entrances, but I think they could add one more for the opposite side of the U, near the water spout. This would make it easier to refill the water jugs. Just the tips: - Big, U-shaped park where dogs can be separated if they don't get along. - No separate small dog section - Lots of trees so you and your pup don't overheat! read more

Adair Dog Park - Dog Parks Near Me - Decatur, Georgia

This park is amazing for my dog. A lot of space that is well covered by trees, and a good group of people who come in with dogs. Love coming here. read more

Looks smaller from the front but once in there, the park is quite big. Not a lot of dogs which is a good thing. The dog park in Oakhurst is overrun with dogs. People and dogs were friendly, owners paying attention to their dogs, jugs of water for the bowls along with running water near the front of the park. Also it was not muddy and I went two days after a day of all day rain. Great park and will be back. Oh yeah, my two standard poodles loved running around in it! read more

There is NO separate smaller-dog area here. The park is very large and ALMOST split into two sections. They've cut out a section (lined with fencing) right down the middle where there's a looong concrete drain. I overheard someone say that it used to be open and accessible, and one time his dog ran across to retrieve a ball or stick.. and hit his leg on the concrete. Definite hazard.. and I'm glad they fixed it! The back portion remains open between the now almost-two-halves of the park so you can still get around to the other side of the park. Kind of a cool feature, actually. So, the back of the park has a few more trees than the front. This park is mostly shaded - I'd say maybe 80% or more - and there are a bunch of places for us human-best-friends to sit. There's at least one area (by the front gate) with a water spicket/fountain. The area gets a little muddy but that is to be expected at most dog parks. I think you can also get into the park in the back but I'm not sure if there's water up there. Overall a nice park if you're looking for a large space with shade! Just remember, the bigger the dog park, the more dogs/running/potential craziness which can lead to potentially crazy dog owners as well :) read more

Great spot! The driving directions are deceiving, it puts you on Ponce... Where there is an entrance but it's set back from the street, so not visible. If you turn onto Adair you will find street parking. The dog park is really nice. I love the fact that it is shaded for warmer days. Even though it is mulch it doesn't seem as dusty and dirty as other dog parks. Plenty of seating. People were friendly and dogs were well mannered, which I can say is a rarity at other Atlanta parks. Can't wait to go back. read more

Large dog park for pooches of all sizes in one enclosed area. It has plenty of old growth trees that provide ample shade during the hot months. Lots of things for fido to chase and the local dog community does a good job keeping it relatively clean. A park employee was spreading pine tree clippings to minimize the mud mess and it smelled great. The only draw back is there's no place for people to relieve themselves at this park. Other than that... I'd definitely come here again when my travels take me inside the perimeter. read more

Adair Dog Park - Lots of places to sit at a table within the boundaries of the dog park. - Dog Parks Near Me - Decatur, Georgia

I can't believe they kick u out because u bring your kid with u who's in a carriage or carrier come on it's a public park they shouldn't kick u out get over yourself people read more

My foster dogs and I LOVE this place! Parking is at a premium, but it's worth it to find a dog park (WHY DOES ATLANTA HAVE SO FEW!?!?!?) that's big enough for the dogs to run amuck and burn some energy, but not so big that you lose them half a mile away (a la Piedmont Park). Definitely worth a drive out there if you haven't been yet. And if you hate it (though I don't know why you would) Oakhurst dog park is right down the street, as is the dog park at Glenlake park (though it's teeny tiny) read more

Checked this park out today and I'm so glad I did! This park is very clean with plenty of mulch, water jugs, and water bowls. The park is huge! It's two areas connected by a little path in the back of the park. The park was not crowded when we went and lots of dogs came and went in the hour or so we were there. The dogs and owners here are extremely friendly and I like the fact that people cleaned up after their dogs. There's also a lot of trees so plenty of shade. I will definitely bring the furkids back! read more

Friendly people and lots of space to run and play! I wish there was more parking but it made up for it with plenty of tables and benches to sit on. I really liked how there were trees and lots of shade. read more

Our favorite dog park in the area! Lots of space to run, two nearly separate areas, multiple entrances depending which direction you're coming from, squirrels (my dog's favorite part) and a ton of friendly dogs and owners alike. 4-6 weekdays is the busiest time I have experienced which I prefer for socialization :) read more

My (and my dog's) favorite dog park. It is large, completely fenced-in and shady with lots of trees. There is usually someone there (other dog's ready to play) or you likely won't have to wait more than about 10-15 minutes for someone to show up. People bring tennis balls which you can find laying around available for play and someone brought a baby pool for dogs to play in as well. There is also a first-aid cabinet that folks donate to that have items available if needed. The park has two sides seperated by a fenced concrete drainage area but is open in the very back where you can access the other side. Both sides are completely fences-in so you and/or your dog can go to either side. There are dog water bowls on both sides. The water fountain is broke so everyone takes turns filling donated milk jugs from a water hose that is located by the entrance. To turn on, you have to raise the handle. I say that because I've seen people try to pump it like an old time water pump, but you only need raise the handle and then use the spray nozzle attached at the end of the hose. To turn off, simply return the handle to the down position. I hope you enjoy as much as the rest of us do. read more

love this dog park! lots of free space to run around and places to sit. ground is mostly covered in mulch which helps keep the dirt down. Dogs and owners are all well behaved as well :) read more

We had an okay experience here. The park is huge and shaded with plenty of places to sit, but unfortunately we came when there were barely any dogs! There were maybe 6 dogs at any given time. My dog needs more stimulus so I just took him over to Park Grounds. My dog also tended to slap his paws in the water bowl, so annoying. Though I corrected him and refilled it, I don't think other owners were too pleased. We'll come back again one day. read more

If you are a small do owner beware this park.We had been several times during the quieter times of day without incident.Showed up the other day about 630pm.No juge dog's bt there were more than we had been around before.At first my small dog was merely a curiosity to them.Eventually a pack mentality took over.I rescued her from being pushed,rolled and stampeded.Even as I held her to my chest dogs were jumping up on me trying to get to her.I was covered in filth and we were both freaked out,The owners stood about 5 ft away chatting without so much as calling their dog's.I was stunned and we made our way out.I regret not saying something.Since then I have heard several similar stories.It's not worth an injury.We won't be back. read more

The facilities are wonderful and the place is wonderful.. but the owners do NOT pick up their poop.. I always manage to step in dog poop when I go there, while the owners are casually reading books or are on their cellphones. This kind of behavior annoys me so I am waiting for the Mason Mill Park to open. read more
