The Ultimate Guide to Dog-Friendly Marietta: Exploring the Square and Beyond with Your Pup!
Hey there, fellow dog lovers! At Hometown Hounds Co., we know our pups are family, and we love bringing them along on our adventures. That's why we wanted to share some of our favorite dog-friendly spots in Marietta, a city we think has a lot to offer you and your furry best friend!
Marietta's a great town, with plenty of history, a lively community, and beautiful natural areas. And happily, much of it is open to dogs! So, grab that leash and let's check out some places.
Strolling Through Historic Marietta Square
The heart of Marietta, the historic Marietta Square, is perfect for a nice walk with your dog.
Paws on the Pavement: Take a wander around the square, enjoy the atmosphere, and relax in Glover Park. You'll often see water bowls outside shops, and some places even welcome well-behaved dogs inside. Just keep an eye out for those "dog-friendly" signs!
Patio Dining: Looking to grab a bite or a coffee? Many local restaurants around the Square have dog-friendly patios. Marietta Pizza Co. and Taqueria Tsunami are good options. A quick call ahead is always smart to confirm!
Unleashing Fun at Marietta's Parks & Trails
Beyond the Square, Marietta has some lovely green spaces for a run or a peaceful stroll.
Lewis Park: This local park (475 Campbell Hill St NW, Marietta, GA 30060) has open areas for dogs to play.
Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park: It's just a short drive from Marietta and offers miles of dog-friendly trails (on leash). Be sure to check their pet rules before you go!
The Drafty Dane Park & Pint: This is a unique Marietta spot with a 21,000 sq ft off-leash dog park combined with a bar. Your pups can play while you relax.
Quick Tips for a Happy Outing
Just a few friendly reminders for a good time:
Leash Up: Always keep your dog on a leash.
Clean Up: Don't forget those waste bags!
