About the Park
John Lewis Memorial Park and Dog Park on King Arnold Street in Hapeville offers a free, fully fenced off-leash area just south of Atlanta near the airport. A double-gated entrance opens onto separate sections for small and large dogs, with agility tubes for active play and shaded trees for relief from the sun. The layout is wheelchair-accessible with free parking, and a nearby dog-friendly trail extends the outing. Seating and waste bags are provided. Hours run daily from 6:00 AM to 9:30 PM. Summers in metro Atlanta are warm and humid, so the shade helps and carrying water is smart. The City of Hapeville parks and facilities page is the place to check current rules and any closures before you visit.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
John Lewis Memorial Park and 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.
The park has agility equipment, which is excellent for high-energy dogs that need both physical and mental stimulation. Even if your dog hasn't tried agility before, most dogs pick it up quickly with a little encouragement.
Walking trails are available, so you and your dog can enjoy a walk beyond just the off-leash area. Trails are a great option for dogs who enjoy sniffing and exploring at their own pace.
Best of all, John Lewis Memorial Park and Dog Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
