MACON DOG PARK
The Macon Dog Park is a fully-fenced city block with areas for both small and large dogs to explore. Located in the heart of the College Hill Corridor, the park even holds a "Yappy Hour" once a month for owners and their dogs to hang out together.
TATTNALL SQUARE PARK
Located across from Mercer University, this beautiful park offers plenty of space for your dog to play to its heart's content. Enjoy a picnic under the pavilion and check out the artwork found throughout the park.
OCMULGEE HERITAGE TRAIL
The Ocmulgee Heritage Trail is the only riverside trail and park system in Central Georgia. Take a timeout from the chaos of everyday life with your pooch and enjoy a peaceful walk through Carolyn Crayton Park or Amerson Park. Many of Macon’s historic treasures can be found on along the trail including Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park, Rose Hill Cemetery, and Gateway Park.
LAKE TOBESOFKEE
Lake Tobesofkee, a year-round recreation area covering nearly 1,800 acres, is the perfect place to have some fun in the sun with your pup (as long as they are on a leash).
FIRST FRIDAY
First Friday Macon is always a fun time and being able to spend it with two and four-legged family members makes it even better. Every first Friday of the month, Downtown Macon comes alive with music, art, food, and fun.
JUST TAP'D
Just Tap'd welcomes humans and canines alike! Come hang out and enjoy some ice-cold beer while your puppy snacks on a treat. They also have fantastic outdoor space in case your dog gets a little restless indoors.
THE ROOKERY
The Rookery’s outdoor seating is the perfect place for your dog and you to enjoy a delicious burger. And yes, I did mean to include your dog. Humans aren't the only ones who can chow down on a burger.
PARISH ON CHERRY ST.
Enjoy delicious Cajun food on Parish's outside patio. This dog-friendly area offers favorite Louisiana dishes in a great atmosphere in the heart of downtown Macon.
BARKS N BREWS
An off-leash dog park that is as fun for you as it is for our furry friends! Grab a beer at the outdoor camper and let your pup enjoy roaming the wide open space! You may both make a new friend here!
DOWNTOWN VISITOR'S CENTER
Want to learn more about all that Macon has to offer, but don't want to leave your pup behind? Come see us at the Macon-Bibb County Downtown Visitor's Center and bring them along! We'll provide your dog with water and treats while you peruse Macon's historical timeline from our Native American roots to the current day.
Whether you walk on two feet or four paws, Macon has plenty of fun places to explore!
