GOLDEN SCORE

Great for goldens
#93 of 150 Georgia parks
Is Henderson Park Dog Park good for golden retrievers?
It scores 62 out of 100, which makes it great for goldens (#93 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.
