Loring Heights Dog Park | Atlanta, GA
Intown Atlantans love their dogs! We are lucky to have so many great greenspaces and parks around town. Last Memorial Day – Gus had the pleasure of a morning at Loring Heights Dog Park a/k/a the urban beach. Gus was there with his golden retriever friend, Buffy. It’s a great spot where dogs, who meet the criteria (non aggressive and should be altered), can enter and play off leash. There are two different areas so if you have a smaller dog there is a separate play area. Gus and his friends play on the bigger dog side.
Newer facility and hopefully the trees will fill in and offer some shade. The ground is mostly crushed gravel – annoying if you are wearing sandles but just fine for your canine friend. The gravel is great for upkeep – less dirt which just becomes mud after a rain. If you have ever been to a dog park after a rain – you will know why the mud is a major “ARG” from the dog owner and a lot of fun for the dog.
Loring Heights is a great neighborhood. It is nestled between Peachtree Road and Northside – bordered by I-75 and the I-85/I-75 exchange. There are about 300 homes and there is a variety of price options if you are looking to buy. There are some terrific parks and green spots for people and beast to share alike. And now Loring Heights Neighborhood boasts its very own dog park.
