City of Dunwoody is getting ready to design and build a new park in Perimeter Center.


Pet-Friendly Pocket Park with Gathering/Play Areas & Nature Trails in Perimeter Center

The Perimeter Center East Park is a small pocket park nestled behind Perimeter Center East providing public green space to local residents within walking distance. The park’s proposed facilities include a walking path, a central plaza with a water feature, a small playground and additional space for a sculpture plaza and greenery. The central plaza water feature will contain water movement creating pleasant background sounds for park users by helping eliminate traffic noise from adjacent roads. A water fountain with a pet bowl is planned for the area’s four-legged residents.

Connected by a 10-foot brick walkway around the perimeter, the park will include benches and swings along the walk. The lower section of the park will serve as a retention pond, surrounded by nature trails with a wood chip surface in areas that are not prone to flooding or standing water.
The space will provide areas for people to gather, walk pets, enjoy nature trails and allow children to play. Approximately 50 parking spaces should be available. As with the other parks, the site will include waste receptacles and dog waste bag dispensers.
