Review from Paul S.

A bit out of the way for the three of us, but when meeting Miho and JG for a play date this maybe the central locale for a good day on the lawn.
Burger Dog Park is the grassiest little park for my four legged friend yet. A bit boring in that there isn't anything but a flat pasture of grass, but it's nice that with grass... there's not mud. Most of the time when we go to dog parks the mulch or dirt just ends up being a big mud bath for all to play in.
Burger has two separate play pens for the large and small. Both large in size providing everyone tons of room to roam.
We had a good time, and most of the owners seemed pretty in tune with the proper rules and regulations one should adhere to when taking your pooch in public.
Only issue other that distance was the extreme amount of gnats... oh well, you're outside. -

We love bringing our two dogs (an Austrailian Shepherd/lab mutt and a Puggle) to this dog park. We drive out of our way from Vinings on the Chattahoochee to this park.
There are usually quite a few dogs around to play with, and most everyone is mindful of their dog. It is pretty clean, too...haven't stepped in anything that I had to clean off of my shoes later. I love that there is a fountain on each side (small dog & large dog) for people and pups, and plenty of bag/trash stations. There are a couple of uncomfortable metal benches, but we are usually running around with our dogs, or talking to the other dog owners, so that doesn't bother us. If you'd prefer to sit, you might want to bring along a folding chair so you're a little more comfortable.
It gets muddy after a rainfall, so be careful if your dog likes to roll in mud or if your dog wants to drink(!) the mud...mine tried.
I have seen landscapers and a worker there to replenish the bag supply and remove the garbage, so it is well taken care of.
All in all, a great park, I just wish it were a little closer to home! -

As dog parks go, this is a good one in the Smyrna area. Its sits back behind a school and some apts. The downsides are, when it rains its gets quite saturated and takes a few days to dry out because it sits low below ground level and there are mosquitos to follow so take some repellent. Also when its starts getting dark even though its behind a neighborhood, its kinda creepy if you're alone with a smaller dog, maybe not so much with a larger one.
The upsides are, a good location from my proximity, it seems maintained most of the time although they ocassionally slip on cutting the grass. The large/small dog parks are seperated, there are fountains for people and dogs, doggie bags and trash recepticles and two metal benches. There is also a small unpaved parking lot. My dog and I like going there quite a bit when we can and we usually see some regulars there often. There is also a porta-potty (if needed). Here is also a number to call for recorded info whether the park is open/closed ...678-631-5388. Take your dog for a visit....Its quite a popular park in Cobb -

Sooooo this review is totally from the viewpoint of an owner and not from my dog, because Rocky could give a good darn hoot about frolicking in a yard with other dogs. He is a snob like that. I blame his "real" parents.
Burger Dog Park is a good park to visit to chit chat with other "pet people." Hence the use of the quotation marks. Yeah, some of the owners (no shade thrown) are serious pet lovers, to the point that they may not remember your name, but they will definitely remember your dog's name. However, for what it is worth, everyone is very friendly and for the most part keep their dogs in line.
The park is rather large and divided into two sections, one side for large dogs and the other side reserved for small dogs. The divided sections is great for anyone, like myself, who is concerned that their tiny dog may get trampled or overwhelmed by a dog much bigger than they are. The park has minimum seating, so on a busy weekend I would suggest you bring your own chair. Oh also bring a hat and fan on sunny days, because there is extremely limited shade to be had at the park.
Overall the park is well maintained and there is adequate parking. There are water fountains available and I always see communal bowls out for the dogs to drink water from. However, as a "pet person" and self described slight germaphobe, I would not suggest your dogs use them. Yes dogs can get germs too, and I would not want your Fido or Fida blowing chunks and Hershey squirting later on. Yucky!Listed in: Best Places for Man's Best…

Review from Amaryllia L.

I got a new puppy about a month ago and have been trying to find a dog park near the Smynings/Cumberland area where I live. The receptionist lady at my vet suggested that I check out this park and another one nearby. She didn't know the park names and gave me somewhat vague directions so they weren't the easiest to find..."one of them is behind Belmont Hill Elementary and the other is behind a McD's, both on S Cobb."
I decided to GPS Belmont Hill and found a match. Once I got there, the park was nowhere to be seen and I drove around another good 10 minutes before stumbling on a green sign that said 'Burger Park' and went to see if that was the dog park.
There are two fenced areas as I expected, but only 2 dogs on the big dog side and 1 dog on the small dog side. This is a disappointment for a Saturday afternoon. I hung around for another good 25 minutes, checking out the two benches available on the small dog side where there weren't any trees for shade and then proceeded to chat to an old couple and a Pit Bull breeder who was hanging out in the parking lot with his puppies sleeping in a crate on his truck bed.
We made some small talk and admired the cute puppies. I then asked the old couple about the whereabouts of the other park since they looked like they are familiar with the area.
I can't say I'll be back. -

So found this place on the GPS last sunday afternoon, this park was way in the back suburbs and pretty hidden, after thinking we might have been going the wrong way it was right infront of us.
So we got to the park, it looked really nice, lots of dogs and pups with their friendly owners, green grass, couple of benches, 2 fenced off areas, one for small dogs and one for the biggies, had water and bags onsite for the dogs.
besides the weird location and maybe could do with a couple more benches, all and all pretty good :) -

I brought my dog here for the first time yesterday. I google searched it once a friend mentioned it to me and I found it without problem on my GPS. It was great to be able to let my apartment dwelling dog run free without fear of him running away or getting injured.
The water wasn't turned on yet as it is still only warming up, but I will be returning again as I thought it was a great park and it wasn't too busy yet. A lot of people brought water to share for the dogs. -

I did not even know there was an off leash dog park in Smyrna!! This location is kind of hard to find- hidden away inside a neighborhood. Has all the great makings of a good dog park- fenced in area, water fountain for both humans and dogs, separate small dog area, trash cans with poop bags and lots of seating. My only complaint about this location is that there is not much parking. On the weekends many people have to park in the neighborhood instead of the allotted park parking. I have no seen any major dog fights in this area- nor really seen any aggressive dogs there. After a good hour at this park my dogs have their tongues hanging out of their mouths and sleep for hours!!

This is the only dog park I take my dog to. My chocolate lab named Mocha loves making new friends here. Very convenient to my home and plenty of space for her to run and play. Very popular park.
