Great for goldens
#85 of 150 Georgia parks
Is Brook Run Dog Park good for golden retrievers?
It scores 63 out of 100, which makes it great for goldens (#85 of 150 in Georgia). There’s no water to swim in, the main thing holding it back for a breed bred to retrieve from water. It’s fenced, so a golden with a so-so recall can run safely.
Tips for golden owners
🌳 Good summer pick
Plenty of shade makes this one of the better summer options for a double coat.
🚿 Rinse station
Handy after a muddy or swimming golden.
