I've actually been thinking of moving to Atlanta recently. I live in Portland OR right now, so the sprawl of Atlanta scares me, but I've heard there are good walkable pockets of it.
I walk my dog 2 hours a day; are there places where the sidewalk density is high enough and the busy road density low enough that I could do that and have some route optionality so I'm not just doing the same walk all the time?
- echelon 7y agoSorry for the late reply. The Beltline plus Piedmont Park is a perfect fit. The Beltline is linear, but long (it circles the city), and all of the connected neighborhoods are extremely walkable. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BeltLine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BeltLine Piedmont Park and Ansley are beautiful. The Beltline will eventually connect to the Silver Comet trail, which is a completely paved bike path that extends all the way to Alabama. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_Comet_Trail https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_Comet_Trail If you're willing to get in the car, the Palisades, Kennesaw Mountain, and more are not far. They're extremely dog friendly, and I visit them often. https://www.atlantatrails.com/hiking-trails/hiking-east-palisades-indian-trail-at-the-chattahoochee-river/ https://www.atlantatrails.com/hiking-trails/hiking-east-pali... Also, Fetch Dog Park is freaking amazing. It's a dog park with alcohol. It blew up, and now they're opening four more locations in two other states. https://atlantapetlife.com/fetch-dog-park/ https://atlantapetlife.com/fetch-dog-park/ You shouldn't have any problem.
