Arrow Creek Park Dog Park — Attraction in Chamblee

This is a brand new off-leash dog park located near the newly constructed building for the Chamblee Police Department. Today, July 15, 2021, was my first time bringing my dogs to this park. No one else was in the park with their dogs.

Pros: Sparkling new dog park at a great easy-access location with plenty of parking. It shares the parking lot with the Chamblee PD. Nicely cut grass lawn throughout most of the park with agility stations sprinkled around the park. They have a water fountain station (kudos) for dogs and humans, a tarp-covered area where there are several benches to sit on, poop bag stations and trashcans. The Park is divided into two sections by fence—one for little dogs (30lbs. and under) and one for large dogs. You can bring your little dogs into the big side, but you cannot bring the big dogs into the little side. If you are worried about personal safety, the Chamblee Police Department is 100 or so yards away.

Cons: The Park is rectangular and small, located out in the middle of an open field. This review was from July at 8am in the morning and I could already feel the summer sun start to heat up the park. Probably not the best experience in extreme temperatures; best to go on overcast days during the summer or early morning/early evening. The tarp-covered bench area will only shade you when the sun is directly overhead. This area did not have grass but was covered in what looks like shale stone chips. Probably not the best choice in ground covering for a dog's paws with the sharp edges. One of my dogs didn't like walking on it.

Summary: Great little park in a great location to swing by and let your dog do its business and maybe play...

PRO: Typically pretty empty -Lots of empty green when no soccer games are happening to walk your dog outside of the dog run

CON: Water hasn’t worked since APR 2021 and the city doesn’t seem to find it a priority to have working water at the dog park in a hot city. -Large dog area is always filled with poop so we use the small dog area to play. -The rocks surrounding the grass tear up my dog’s pads because...
