3. Henderson Park Dog Park
If your dog's been asking for more room to run, consider this the answer. Grab the leash, load up the water bowl, and let a hundred acres of trails, lake views, and open greens do the rest. Once you reach Henderson Park Dog Park, your pup will have a field day between the agility equipment and shaded seating. From there, Lake Erin and its little waterfall are only a short trip away, making it easily one of the best dog parks near Norcross, GA, and the kind of outdoor favorite that turns a quick visit into the whole afternoon.

They say a dog is a man's best friend. In Norcross, they're also the guest of honor at Social Fox Brewing & Distillery.

While you sip, your pup gets to join in on the fun too, with house-made treats from the brewery's own spent grains. Good drinks and even better company have earned this one a seat among the city's best restaurants. And your pup? Already a regular.
