Out for some fun with Fido? Spend the day on the town with your dog and check out these pet-friendly places around Thomasville!
Explore Thomasville Dog Park
The first stop is at Balfour Park, where your pup can socialize with other friendly dogs at the Thomasville Dog Park. The pleasant park features three different spaces for small dogs, big dogs, and all those in between, and each area offers running water so that everyone can stay hydrated for their fun in the sun. Your pet might meet their new best friend, or just enjoy the opportunity to romp around in the open space and fresh air. If your pet’s feeling sporty, they can even play in the obstacle course.
Find Some Shade at the Big Oak
After all that fun at the park, it might be nice to cool off in the shade of a tree, and few trees can offer expansive shade like the massive Big Oak. This impressive live oak tree can be found in Elizabeth Ireland Poe Park, where it has stood for more than 300 years. It’s thick, sprawling branches reach out more than 165 feet, and the tree towers 68 feet into the air. The natural beauty is a historic landmark that draws numerous visitors each year, and even a U.S. president has had to snap a photo of the stunning sight. The tree is still as photogenic as ever, and if you want to get a photo with your dog, leave it to the Big Oak Cam to handle the photography for you.
Enjoy a Meal
Thomasville is home to several pet-friendly restaurants, so you can certainly stop for a meal without having to run the dog home first. When hunger hits, you could swing by Sweet and Savory Sisters (SASS) at the Historic Train Depot for seafood and Southern cooking, or head over to Liam’s for American cuisine in the charming courtyard.
