About the Park
Small dogs get their own fenced section at Freedom Barkway, and the big-dog side has been newly renovated. The park sits at 523 Highland Ave NE near the Atlanta BeltLine, fully fenced with a grass surface, and opens 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. every day — generous hours for before-work and after-dinner visits, with lighting for the dark ends of the day. Water fountains and filling stations, waste bags, seating, and shaded areas cover the basics, and the park hosts dog-friendly events through the year. Its location makes it an easy add-on to a walk along the BeltLine's Eastside Trail.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Freedom Barkway Dog 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.
There's a separate area for small dogs, which is perfect if you have a smaller breed that might be intimidated by larger dogs. This is a feature many dog owners specifically look for.
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.
Freedom Barkway Dog Park operates on a unknown basis. Check with the park directly for current pricing details.
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.

A towel
Your dog will likely get wet at the water features. Save your car seats with a quick dry-off.

Your dog's favorite toy
