Going through the airport in Atlanta, Georgia, USA? Now your dog has a place to rest and relax while you wait to travel:
On November 18th [2009], Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson airport opened it’s new off-leash dog park in time for the holiday season.
Hartsfield-Jackson airport accommodates thousands of canine customers every year and the new facility will cater for 2 dogs at a time. The fully fenced 1,000-square-foot dog park is part of the Ground Transportation center on the west end of the passenger terminal, and features flowers, grass, rocks, benches and “two original pieces of art to sniff and enjoy”. Biodegradable bags for pet waste are available at the dog park to help meet the needs of this growing group of passengers.

To accommodate passengers’ pets and guide dogs, Hartsfield-Jackson has a Poochie Park located on the lower level of Terminal North outside door LN2 to the right of the building. Owners can take animals to this grassy area and allow pets to relieve themselves. Owners are expected to clean up after their animals if possible with scoopers provided on site. Pet owners whose animals experience an accident elsewhere around the terminal may use the Poochie Park scoopers and receptacles for clean-up.
There are also two other areas where pets may relieve themselves in the grassy knoll located in the Ground Transportation area on Terminal South outside of doors W1 and W2. Currently, Hartsfield-Jackson does not have pet facilities inside the secured areas. We recommend owners take advantage of the above locations if possible.
