"Originally built for the 1996 Summer Olympic Games, Centennial Olympic Park has transformed into a lively 21-acre gathering place in the heart of downtown Atlanta. "
Review:★★★★★ Managed by the Georgia World Congress Center Authority, this public park welcomes more than three million visitors each year. I enjoyed its fountains, plazas, and views of the Atlanta skyline. It’s an ideal stop while you are exploring other (indoor) attractions.
