Centennial Olympic Park
 

Description

This park, created for the 1996 Olympic Games held in Atlanta, has 21 acres (8.5 hectares) of green space, rock gardens and artwork. The nearly 500,000 commemorative bricks that make up its main walkway were part of fund raising efforts for the Games. During scorching Atlanta summers, children frolic in the ground-level Olympic Rings, which periodically shoot streaming arcs of water in time to the seven light and music concerts put on throughout the day. Flags honoring the nations that have played host to the Olympics in the past surround the fountain.

Its great for the kids
By AB, 9/24/05
My sons love playing in the water. And for me its a nice place to relax in the ATL. The best time to visit is in the summer so that the kids will enjoy the water. But the only problem I had was the traffic the streets can be a bit confusing especially if your like me; from a small town.

We love it here...There is shopping, food outdoor activities it's all available. Beautiful skyline, Phillips Arena, CNN, Tower Museum. Concerts in the park,ice skating. We are blessed with mild weather in Atlanta and the is the central spot, place to be. Also, the aquarium will be here next year. Well worth the trip!

Can't wait to go back
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 9/20/05
Wonderful place of history for all African American, as well as other nationalities and the experience is wonderful. A wonderful place to bring your whole family and friends because it is a place of education as well.

Fun for all
Whenever my daughter just wants to get out the house...centennial park is always the place, especially when the budget is low. The summer time is awesome, you can visit several of the fountains, the dancing fountain is a child's favorite. It's just an energetic place to be.

Relaxing and cheap
By a_little_jaded, 8/28/05
This is a great place to visit on a hot summer day. It is free and you can run through the water. The city keeps this part of town clean and it is jst an all around relaxing environment.

The spirit of Old
By dissergirl, 8/27/05
A building to host the Olympics is a monument to the best in our human essence. Competition for excellence in performance, tracking the personal stories of the heroes and heroines who lend the juice to the rigor of the sports, the awe for the ultimate effort that is present in every record broken, the invisible international support that is transmitted via television and radio, the color and music and organized ballet of athletes during opening ceremonies, the display of integrity needed to solve the moral dilemmas played out every day, the beauty of bodies and the faces of willpower, all of these are the best we have to offer as the human race.

Exuberant fun
By MarthaL, 8/25/05
Running through the fountains on the ground will bring the kid back in you. The park hosts summer concerts on Wednesday nights and is very family friendly, with mothers chasing children and everybody dancing. Great fun!
