About the Park
Five private, rentable dog parks alongside a large public run make Sandy Creek Park the unusual entry among Athens dog spots — a setup that suits reactive or shy dogs needing space away from strangers. The grounds at 400 Bob Holman Rd are fully fenced with grass surfaces, water access, and water fountains on site. Note the schedule: closed Mondays, open 8 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday. Booking details and current rules live at accgov.com/sandycreekpark, the right stop before a first visit. The large public area handles everyday off-leash sessions, while the rentals cover training time, playdates, and dogs that have flunked out of regular dog parks. Check the website for fees and reservations.
