GOLDEN SCORE

Good spot
#139 of 150 Georgia parks
Is Skyland Park Dog Park good for golden retrievers?
It scores 52 out of 100, which makes it good spot (#139 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
☀️ Little shade
Summer visits are best in the morning or evening. Goldens’ double coats hold heat.
