After visiting the Georgia Aquarium and the World of Coca-Cola, we walked over to Olympic Park. It was a wonderful way to let the kids just run, play and get wet. We had an 11, 9 and 3.5 year old and they all had a blast. Free fun and great way to wrap up a busy day. more

We went during the New Year and it was lively with skating activities and a water show. Our girls really enjoyed the playground, but I would not recommend visiting at night. Unfortunately beggars approach you and adults use the playgrounds to do inappropriate things. The other water features were empty due to the State's water shortage. Anyway, the Centennial Park... more

After visiting the Aquarium, our hosts took us to Centennial Olympic Park. We enjoyed walking through the park, seeing the fountain of Olympic rings (which several girls were running through), the statue dedicated to the modern founder of the Olympics, Pierre de Coubertin as well as finding our friends brick. It is a nice park in the middle of downtown. more

The park is in the center of downtown, surrounded by many buildings. It is near tourist stops like the CNN tour, the aquarium, and the World of Coca Cola. It is a pretty park with playground equipment for the kids. There is also some historical value in things like the Olympic Ring fountain and a statue dedicated to the modern... more

I have always loved the Olympics and took the opportunity to stop and see the Olympic park. This park was absolutely beautiful. It was very well maintained and several families/children were enjoying themselves. We walked around and took everything in then stopped at the fountain. This part of Atlanta was gorgeous and you could view the skyline while enjoying the... more

On my recent trip to Atlanta it was fun to stop by the Olympic Park. It is located between CNN and the World of Coca-Cola and the Aquarium. It is nice to stroll through and watch the fountain of Olympic rings, which only goes at certain times. (While I was there it was something like 12:30-3:30 and 6:30-9:30. You'll see... more

I'm not sure why one of the reviewer's would say the park is not a great tourist area. First of all, the park is in the middle of downtown Atlanta and it's lovely. Secondly, it's DIRECTLY next to The New World of Coca-Cola (1.5 hr. tour), Georgia Aquarium (2-4 hrs. tour), Imagine Children's Museum and the CNN center. Also, the... more

It is a great park to hang out and relax in, maybe to have a picnic in or take the kids to. The ring fountains are fun, especially on a hot day. But as for things to do for tourists, it doesn't have much to do. The CNN Center is near by but that is about it. more

The park was very beautiful and well maintained. It isn't nearly as big as I thought it might be. There is a nice water fountain area where kids can and do get wet. There is an ampitheater, so I assume there are concerts held there. It was a nice area just to walk through and relax. We stopped at the... more

This park is a great place for the kids to run around a bit and blow off some steam. There are two fabulous playgrounds (one is all accessible, even for kids with disabilities), and lots of open green space to run in. When there isn't a water shortage, there are fountains to play in. This is a nice place for... more
