Waggy World Paw Park is managed by the City of Alpharetta Recreation and Parks Department. With the support of the City’s elected and appointed officials, and the dedication of local volunteers, the Department set aside a beautiful 1.5 acre area behind the Alpharetta Community Center at Wills Park to provide this popular amenity for the citizens and pups of Alpharetta.
Please be advised that during the winter months, some park water fountains are shut off due to freezing temperatures.
