About the Park
Three-quarters of an acre of fenced grass makes Brookside Park one of the roomier off-leash options on the Decatur side of DeKalb County. The dog area sits off N Decatur Road in the 30032 zip, fully enclosed so dogs can run without a long lead. Grass underfoot is easier on joints than gravel, though it gets muddy after Georgia's frequent summer thunderstorms — worth remembering before you load a white dog into the car. A water fountain covers drinks, benches give owners a place to sit, and waste bags are stocked. Use of the park is free. Posted hours aren't in our records, so check signage at the entrance; most DeKalb County parks operate roughly dawn to dusk.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Brookside Park is fully fenced, so your dog can run and play off-leash without worry. This makes it a great choice for dogs still working on recall or for owners who want extra peace of mind.
Dogs can enjoy water features here — great for cooling off on hot days. Bring a towel for the car ride home, because your pup will probably get soaked.
Best of all, Brookside Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
backpackWhat to Bring
Fresh water and a bowl
Even parks with water fountains can have them out of service. Bring your own to be safe.
Poop bags
Most parks provide them, but don't rely on it. Always come prepared to clean up after your dog.
A towel
Your dog will likely get wet at the water features. Save your car seats with a quick dry-off.
A reflective collar or light-up leash
If you visit near dusk, visibility gear helps you keep track of your dog and stay safe.
High-value treats
Useful for practicing recall in a distracting environment and rewarding good social behavior.
Your dog's favorite toy
A familiar toy can help shy dogs feel more comfortable and give them something to focus on.
