A nice, clean apartment community that is also pet-friendly is certainly coveted prize, especially one in a convenient intown location like Buckhead.  Who wouldn’t want  a great apartment that they can share with their best four-legged friend.  One of the small challenges, however, of living in an apartment with your dog is getting them to a pet-friendly location where they can run around and get some excercise.

Well, by next month, intown residents will have one more great location that they can add to the list of their pooch’s favorite places, as Piedmont Park (10th Street and Piedmont Road) will officially open it’s enlarged dog park.  Their three-acre dog run, located at the Park Drive Bridge, will get added trails, landscaping, benches and restrooms.

They are hosting a grand opening celebration on August 12 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., and for a $50 donation, your pet can get a unique commemorative bone-shaped plaque inscribed with his name.  They also have a $5 admission option to the event that gets you and your dog an exclusive, pre-opening sneak peak as well as refreshments and a take home doggie bag!  So if you have no plans for that day, make a date with your dog!  For more info, call 404-875-7275.
