Centennial Olympic Park is located in downtown Atlanta and was built to celebrate 100 years of Olympics, this legacy was created and now lives long in memory. There is many links to the 1996 games such as the massive plaque and the towering Olympic flame torches, there is a fountain stream which is a nice touch, the memorial lives on. It’s a great park, it’s surrounded by buildings, offices and hotel which all over look the park. It has many aspects within its vast space, there is pop up jet streams to cool the little ones in this searing heat, there is a small playground for the little ones, the grounds are impressively impeccably maintained. The Olympic Centennial Park is used from time for events and functions and festivals, I attended the pre 4th July Independence Day celebrations, the event was a ticket only the perimeter was sealed, outside could still see. The celebration started with various mini games, there was classical orchestra music, the music moved onto other music themes before the main event of the fireworks, the fireworks were spectacular, it was quality it went on for at least almost an hour with upbeat music background, this was fireworks at its very best in a spectacular setting.

Nice space in a busy city. Visit the park and just walk, sit or bring the kids to play. It’s been a minute since the 1996 Olympics and this area was abuzz with international voices and the spirit of the world coming together for the best in athletic competition. That is of course when someone tried to darken the event but alas the human spirit and the City of Atlanta showed perseverance. Visiting the park conjures up history for me and the victory of a metropolis that continues on, adapting and showing resilience. Enough of history. Visit this park and enjoy the fountain and maybe take in the nearby attractions.

  • Lisa Berlin

It is a nice walk from any hotel in Downtown Atlanta and easy to access. Honestly, I was a bit underwhelmed. It is a leftover from an event that will most likely never happen again in this location. There is a good deal of green space for picnicking, so that is nice. The College Football Hall of Fame is at one end of the park, so if you are into college football, you may want to check that out!
Picnic area
Big open space for picnicking!

This is one of the free places to visit for free in Atlanta. Centennial Park is in the heart of Downtown Atlanta, very close to the Mercedes stadium that hosted the Atlanta 1996 Olympics. It is a vast park for walking around and relaxing with fresh air... It's an excellent place to enjoy the view, take pictures, and have an amazing time reminiscent of the memories of Atlanta '96. I recommend you stop by if you plan visiting Atlanta, GA!

  • Bhushan

This is the park that was made to mark the 1996 Olympics held in Atlanta. It is a huge park with lots of free space to walk and relax. There are many fountains and playground spaces here. The park has many monuments to commemorate the Olympics. There are a lot of statues too. The tiles have the names of the Olympics participants to honor them. One can spend a good weekend with family here and enjoy the greenery around.

  • Avi NasH

Favorite park in the heart of the city downtown. Parking can be challenging in weekends. Best lot is the green parking ️ garage which is 5-7 minutes away from the park.
Dog-friendliness
Friendly park for dogs. Must be on leash. Cleanup after your dog . Doggo will love to walk around and play.
Picnic area
Beautiful park and perfect for picning with family and friends.

  • Jorovie Muñoz

Very nice park in downtown Atlanta. Great place to go for walks, and you get to admire the beautiful skyline of Atlanta from within the park. Very beautiful and clean park and lots of water fountains, too, so you don't have to worry about getting dehydrated while you're out there in the heat. Everything is just walking distance too from within the park since you're in downtown.

  • Felisha Shakeer

Centennial Olympic Park is lovely to walk through . It is well maintained and has so many historical notes. One in particular is the Olympic Rings which is definitely worth seeing and a great photo op . If you're in the area and have the time, definitely take a stroll through here! Then after, you can always grab a bite at one of the restaurants across the street .

  • Jay Weisenberger

Close to the downtown, perfectly located between sports halls. Park is dedicated to the Olympic games that were held in Atlanta 1996, and is all about that. There is Olympic sing on the entrance, names of the olympics in the bricks on the floor, and big Olympic sign fountain in the middle. Lot of green fields, park is beautiful. Can't miss it if you're in Atlanta.

  • PP

Had a chance to visit Atlanta in Sept. The weather is abt the same in Singapore, good public transport connectivity between airport and downtown. The place reminds me of Sydney with high rise buildings and a good mix of American/Asia/Japan/Spanish food. Not much sight-seeing but a good place for family as they have nice parks and beautiful houses.

  • James Mims

I visited Centennial Olympic Park during the Christmas holiday. It's a very walkable park with a nice balance of open-air and wooded spaces. I recommend visiting the entire park if you can as it's something that can be completed in an hour or so. There are plenty of nearby attractions such as the Georgia Aquarium and the Coca Cola Museum.

  • Milo Allerton Bateman

The kids enjoyed running around this park. There are multiple playgrounds and another park with aquarium and coke tours just across the street. A lot of places to takes cool photos and view downtown Atlanta. The skywheel is also right next to the park. Definitely a nice place to walk around In downtown and spend time.

  • Millie Brown

I haven’t visited Centennial Olympic Park in some years and since the hotel we were staying at was within walking distance, we decided to go for a stroll. It was beautifully decorated for the holidays, very family and dog-friendly. There were some “characters” around but it’s Atlanta.

  • Alex

It's a nice place to visit on your way to the aquarium or Coca-Cola world. Definitely a piece of history. Kids will have fun with the playground and splash zone. Great views on the surrounding downtown. However not much of the shade available to hide from the scorching sun

Centennial Olympic Park is located in the Midtown area of Atlanta. The park is very beautiful and clean, and popular to locals and tourists. It’s free for all visitors. Took rest and enjoyed its ambience!

  • Efrain Castañeda

It's a lovely place full of history, each step you dive is a pass into past Olympics games. The place is very green surrounded of between buildings, gardens, and concrete. It's a perfect balance.
