Location: Located in the Heart of Atlanta
Centennial Olympic Park is sometimes called the
world’s gathering place since its debut during the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta.
Its reopening in 1998 hailed a new venue for great events while remaining a lasting
legacy to the Olympic Games. The 21-acre park is home to multiple free events, including
a Fourth of July celebration and Family Fun Days, among others.
But you don’t
have to wait for a special event to
visit this great outdoor oasis in the heart of the city. Visit anytime, as a great
way to experience a little nature right downtown. The hallmark of the park is the
Fountain of Rings, an interactive fountain using the Olympics' interconnecting rings
as its theme. Now the fountain “performs” for the park’s visitors daily as the water
dances to popular music, a synchronized effects show featuring lights and sound.
You’ll be mesmerized by the effects of this dancing
water show as you and your kids amble along through this urban paradise filled with
trees and beautiful landscaping. Centennial Park was designed to commemorate the
centennial of the modern Olympics. It has come to represent so much more.
