Review & FAQ:

Piedmont Park is one of Atlanta's most prominent public parks, originally designed for the Piedmont Exposition of 1887 and reimagined in 1895 by legendary Central Park architect Frederick Law Olmsted to connect with the city's Ansley park system.

As one of the city's largest athletic centers, the park offers a swimming center, a tennis center, and an Active Oval area featuring soccer, softball, and beach volleyball courts for public use. The Clara Meer Dock provides opportunities for permit fishing in the park, while two playgrounds incorporate unique modernist design elements, including the accessible Mayor's Grove Playground. During the summer months, park visitors can enjoy a number of major free festivals, including the Atlanta Pride Festival, the Dogwood Festival, and an annual outdoor summer film series. MARTA service to the park is provided via the city's red and gold lines at the Midtown and Arts Center subway stops.
