I would have liked some history of the Olympics but there are just markers, and a memorial to the people who died in the bombing. Not what I expected. More

Very neat and tidy park with the Olympic Ring fountains not particularly impressive but kids were having great fun dodging in and out.

This is a great place to take the kids and let them hang out. They have a fountain that squirts water inot othe air and kids are allowed to play and run around it.

nice place to have a stroll during morning or evenings - avoid sunny afternoons as there are not many places to get respite from the sun. Home to a lot of public concerts and may be closed for public during those times. Check the schedules in advance to avoid surprises. More

Several interesting stations around the park with 1996 Olympic games history. Would like to see a few more interactive exhibits but good place to visit for an hour or so. More
