Rocco, right, and his pal Nicky check out the newest entrance to Piedmont Park |
So naturally, Rocco and I headed off to check out the newest acreage, complete with wooded trails and bridges and paved paths, perfect for all sorts of outdoor adventures! Rocco's Havanese pal Nicky's been staying with us this past week, so Nicky got to come along for the adventure too.
After crossing over the bridge into the park, Rocco and Nicky discovered some new steps up to a wooded trail...
So peaceful, it's hard to believe these trails are right in the middle of Atlanta just a few miles from downtown!
Even though there was lots of shade, remember that dogs can overheat quickly...
Rocco and his pal Nicky take a moment for water break and a rest stop in the shade |
- Don't over do it. Take rest stops in the shade often.
- Bring along plenty of fresh water
- Start your walk in the early morning or in the evening during the coolest hours of the day
We used the new Instagram video feature to record this video. You can also watch it on Instagram here!
Piedmont Park has come a long way in the last five or so years, and this was just the latest phase in its grand restoration plan. All in all we covered about four miles, a terrific walk to kick off a FitDog Friday!
The fun and games continue every Friday with FitDog Friday, the weekly Blog Hop brought to you by To Dog With Love, SlimDoggy and Peggy's Pet Place to promote a healthy active lifestyle for pets (and their people, too!) and to help combat pet obesity. Join in every Friday by linking up your FitDog story or visiting the blogs in the Hop.
WOW! it's a large park. Oh I see steps, one of my favorite workout. Happy tired dog. We have not tried the video in Instagram, will give it a try. Happy FitDog Friday. Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar
ReplyDeleteThere's lots more steps at Piedmont Park too. Maybe we can run them when you come for BarkWorld!

Diane and Rocco
That looks like a great place in the middle of town. How cool. Glad you had a fun time with your pal Nicky. Have a fabulous Friday Rocco.

It is a gem of a park in the city, and they've done a great job with the restoration! Happy FitDog Friday!

Hey Rocco, Glad to see you're getting your exercise in, even in Hotlanta. Nice park - hope your house guest enjoyed it too! Happy FitDog Friday!
ReplyDeleteNicky's having a fab time playing with Rocco and joining us in all our activities! When he goes home from our house, Nicky's folks say he sleeps for days! ha!

I love the way Rocco and Nicky trot along on those little legs. That's a beautiful park. Hey, we all did videos today. You'd think that you, me and Slimdoggy coordinated something!
ReplyDeleteI love their short little legs too! Amazing how fast they are!
DeleteYour pals,
Diane and Rocco
That is so great that the park is so close to the city. The Twin Cities recently won some awards for having so many parks in the city, some are bigger than others, but it is important to have them so the people in the city have a place to go to.
ReplyDeleteLove the Twin Cities too, though I usually don't get to see parks and things like that when I visit. Maybe next time!

ReplyDeleteThey've made amazing changes to Piedmont Prk since I lived in Atlanta...I don't remember there being anything like this beautiful trail...Oz & I will be at Barkworld together...Maybe Rocco will take us on a tour?
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Rocco can take you on a great tour of Piedmont Park and a dog-friendly restaurant too! Are you getting in early... like before Thursday?
