When’s the best time to take a golden to the park in summer?

How is the Golden Score worked out?
Each park gets up to 100 points. Water to swim in counts most, then room to run, a fence, shade, drinking water and the ground, plus extras like a big-dog area or rinse station. Details we couldn’t confirm count as average. See all 150 Georgia parks ranked.
