South Bend Dog Park — Attraction in Atlanta

I love this dog park. After testing out all dog parks in Atlanta, I would agree that this is the best in the city. However, my only complaint is the many encounters I have had here with aggressive SMALL dogs. I own a Doberman pup, and I am aware that many people are still afraid of my dog's breed. Once a small bull/pug mix bit my dog's nose. On another occasion, a smaller aggressive dog, that the owner admitted was too aggressive to stay in the small dog side, attacked my dog 3 times and when my dog defended himself, he tried to label my dog as aggressive. There were no scratches or bites. I think that people need to be more educated on dog park manners before bringing their dog to the park. It is not fair that big dog breeds are judged and attacked by owners of aggressive dogs due to their size. If you know your dog is not social or trained, no matter the size, then you shouldn't bring your dog to the park. Also, don't play with other dogs, if your dog will become territorial or jealous. Other than that, the park is beautiful and large. Maybe the city should make a separate dog park for small dogs on the other side...

I take my 13 year old Chiweenie there ooh 2 times a week and it's clean and all but this last time there was a Woman and a young Husky mix dog in the small dog area and asked her why he was on that side and she stated she likes to keep him separated well in 5 seconds. I knew why he was all over my dog and asked her to get him off and she laughed and stated it was a dog park when it just started with explicative so I started to leave but the sad truth was that on the large side everyone just watched no one helped me nor did anyone say anything to her. I will never go there again as there is no respect or is there any right or opening ones mouth when clearly a wrong is happening. She on you people that were there and double shame on the homeless girl the world is...

BEST DOG PARK IN ATL!!!

Very spacious park, a large variety of FRIENDLY dogs and dog owners frequent the park around 5-7pm, daily. There's a dog ToyBox where balls and throwing sticks are kept, there are plenty of buckets of water spread out throughout the park, and a few kiddie pools next to a water hose if you want your pup to go for a swim on the hotter days. They also put a water fountain in for us humans as well. There is a "pee tree" if you just gotta go, but no restroom. Also plenty of random benches for taking in the breeze under a tree (theres always a breeze!) or having a short smoke. My dog loves this place. I stopped going to a closer park because there are more dogs here at this park!!...
