About the Park
Few dog parks double as a wildlife sanctuary, but Oakhurst does — birdhouses, bat houses, and a pollinator garden share the grounds with the off-leash areas. The fully fenced park at 414 East Lake Drive in Decatur's Oakhurst neighborhood separates small and large dogs, and adds agility equipment, wooded trails, and a doggie pool for cooling off in Georgia's humid summers. Water and waste bags are available on site. The park is free and opens 6 AM to 10 PM most days, though it closes Friday mornings from 9 AM to noon — likely for maintenance, so check oakhurstdogpark.com before a Friday trip. For a neighborhood park, the feature list runs unusually deep.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Oakhurst 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.
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, Oakhurst Dog Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
backpackWhat to Bring

Even parks with water fountains can have them out of service. Bring your own to be safe.

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.

Your dog's favorite toy
