PARK NEWS:
2026-2028 More info to be posted – developers Fuqua and North Raven are leading the design and construction of a residential and commercial development next to the Freedom Barkway Dog Park. A coffee shop/restaurant will be located adjacent to watch the woofs cavort. 17 dedicated parking spaces promised by developer.
2021 Renovations to the Big Dog Park at Freedom Barkway were completed with help from the City of Atlanta Department of Parks and Recreation and Councilmember Amir Farokhi. Freedom Barkway received a substantial grant from Park Pride that was used for further improvements including new drinking fountains, lighting, shade structure, trees and plants.
2013 Park opened by COA and a bunch of dog enthusiasts!
