Athens - Places for Your Pooch to Play
Fenced-in dog runs at Sandy Creek Park off Commerce Road in north Athens is one option. Also, there is the off-leash area off the hiking trails behind the Univ. of Georgia's intramural fields on College Station Road. At the College Station Road facility (UGA), the hiking and bike trails lead you right to the off-leash area. The pond is marked as a "for dog's" play and exercise area. Your pal is welcome to swim and play unfettered in this area. You may unleash your dog when the trail-marking signs say you can, and then only.

The Sandy Creek dog runs charge $1.00 per dog, and $1.00 an hour, plus $1.00 per each adult to get into the park. Three huge dog yards there and each one completely enclosed by a fence. You may make reservations by calling Athens-Clarke Leisure Services Department (706) 613-3631. There is also a $2.00 key deposit but you get it back when you leave.

All dogs in Athens-Clarke County must be on a leash except when in these immediate areas.

And remember, if your pal poops - scoop.
