I have to tip my hat to the Atlanta Braves promotion team.  They’ve come up with a really cool idea for pet owners who want to spend some fun time with their dogs.  Of course Uptown Buckhead is extremely pet-friendly so we ahve to support it.

They’re hosting a Bark in the Park day at Turner Field, which is basically a game that you can bring your dog to.  Bark in the Park will be held on August 29 when the NL East leading Braves take on the Florida Marlins.

Coca-Cola Sky Field is transformed into a doggie’s delight, complete with on-site veterinary services in case your friend over-indulges or overheats, doggie pools, water misters and plenty of watering holes since seating is not shaded. Fans must pre-register at www.braves.com/bark and proof of certain vaccinations is required. Walk-up tickets are not available. The game starts at 1:35 p.m. but the festivities begin as early as 11 a.m.

Tickets for Bark in the Park go for $25, and that covers one “human” and one “canine”.  Additional human tickets are only $12.  For more info on the event or the inquire about registration, call 404-522-7630 or visit www.braves.com/bark.
