This review is for the Athens dog park by the West Union ball fields, not to be confused with the East State Street dog park behind the pool, Holiday Inn Express, and by the waste water treatment plant.
All locals with dogs know and seem to prefer one or the other of the two parks, but if you like shade and a slightly more picturesque park, the W. State St. park is for you. It is surrounded by tall pines on 3 of the four sides, and has 3 decent sized benches. It is also big enough, at about 600 feet long by maybe 100 feet wide. In summer there is fresh water on site. Be careful if you're the only one there to check that both gates at both entrances are secured, because sometimes idiots walk through and leave them open. So if you come in one end and don't notice the gate at the other end was left wide open, good by Fido. This is worse if it's baseball season, or you're the only one there.
All in all, I totally recommend this park. The other one out on East State is ok but it is simply an old baseball field, and it shows.
My favorite of the dog parks in Athens. It is more secluded and more shaded. There is a better obstacle course here for the dogs. There is still a small fountain for them to have water.
