New
Dog Park Opened For Business
Members
of the community and the Cobb County Board of Commissioners
cut the ribbon for the Pitner Road Dog Park on Saturday,
May 31. The new park is located at 2450 Pitner Road
in Acworth, and is a seven- acre development adjacent
to the Ernie Gilbert Radio Controlled Airfield.
The
dog park is comprised of two adjoining but separately-fenced
play areas for off-leash dogs with approximately 2 acres
of space for larger and one acre of space for smaller
dogs. The dog lots have both open-space and shady,
wooded areas with benched seating for dog owners. Each
area has dog water fountains and “poop-mit” stations
providing bags for owners to pick up after their pets.
A gravel access road and parking lot with 50 parking
spaces.
A
combination picnic shelter and restroom building (presently
with four picnic tables) sits on a rise and overlooks
the playground and dog lots. A multi-function playground
for children ages 2 to 12 is between the picnic shelter
and the dog lots and can be easily seen from the seating
areas of both locations.

Named
Best Dog Park in Summer by Atlanta Magazine
"One
of the largest public parks in the metro area,
Sweat Mountain is almost all shade, making this
the perfect place for dogs in the summer-time
- especially if they are easily overheated or
especially furry."
