Centennial Olympic Park
Honoring the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, this expansive park offers a quiet oasis in the middle of bustling Downtown Atlanta, though the park can become a beehive of activity, as many special events and concerts are held here. For a fun, free way to entertain the kids, let them play in the fountains.
Piedmont Park
Atlanta’s “Common Ground” since 1904, Piedmont Park is located approximately 2 miles northeast of downtown Atlanta. The finish line for the world-famous Peachtree Road Race, the park is also home to myriad festivals and concerts including the Screen on the Green and Dogwood Festival.
Stone Mountain Park
One of Atlanta's most recognizable tourist attractions, this huge monument to the Confederacy covers 25 million square feet and rises 825 feet above the surrounding area, carved with the likeness of three Confederate heroes. There is plenty to see and do, including the ever-popular laser show, holiday events, hiking, boating, fishing, and souvenir shopping.
