Nice but Frustrating
Sep 2021 • Family
This park is very nice and is a hub to many attractions. It has very weird hours, opens late and closes early. It’s very, very obvious they are trying to keep the homeless from sleeping in the park, so the limit the number of open gates and make sure the entire park is closed well before dark and open late morning. It’s really a wasted effort since all of the surrounding areas are consumed with people sleeping on the streets.

A Launchpad for Essential ATL Attractions
Sep 2020
Back when I visited Centennial Olympic Park, I feel I should’ve given it more praise than I did initially—this green space is sprawling, inviting, and utterly convenient to any sort of main attraction or restaurant you may want to enter. While it was uncomfortably busy the time I visited, the purpose of this place is extremely meaningful and pleasant. The aquarium and Coca-Cola Museum are right across the street, and a delicious pizza restaurant called Max’s is a few minutes away on foot…just to name a few ideas. But in the park, see the rings left over from Atlanta’s Olympics jaunt back in the day; admire the fountains and gardens; and people-watch until you drop. Hehe. You get the picture.
I highly recommend Centennial Olympic Park to anyone visiting Atlanta or anyone in the community!

Beautiful.
Jul 2021 • Family
Centennial park is beautiful in every way. I was headed to the Atlanta Aquarium with my granddaughter and decided to walk through this lovely park. It was pretty big and very clean. We stopped to take pictures by the water, I would definitely suggest that you add this to your list of things to do if visiting Atlanta.

Nice peaceful walk
Jun 2021 • Family
On our way to find lunch we walked through Centennial Park. Other than a couple statues we just enjoyed the walk. The park was clean and safe and I could definitely see packing a lunch to have at the park.

Beautiful plants and landscaping. Plenty of places to sit, and child friendly activities. Parking is pricy, but lots of shady places to relax.

Not open every day
May 2021
It's a nice park, and it was nice to see the Olympic rings. BUT, it's not open every day, and didn't seem to open until later in the morning. We would have walked through the park many times, but it wasn't open.

Centennial Olympic Park on Park Avenue in Atlanta is a cool park with plenty of green space in the middle of everything. This is a great place to have a picnic or get some fresh air during a busy day. I like all of the different features that the park has and have had a good time every time I have been here.

Nice Park
Apr 2021 • Solo
The entire park as of right now is fenced off but there are a few spots that allow you to enter. But they close it all off around 5 or 6pm which is too bad. Nice park. Well maintained. Some random statues and such relating to the Olympics spread out. Lotsa green grass. Cross the street to the aquarium, Coke museum and Civil Rights center or on other side the ferris wheel. pleasant place to relax, people watch, etc.

I’m not sure if Covid has shut that area down. You May want to check with the Atlanta Visitors Center.
Where do people park when going here?

Several large multi-story garages and a number of lots are in the area. You can't escape paying, street parking is rare and metered.

Yes, there IS a directory. But it can be difficult to get oriented. It will give you the section to look in. There was construction there when we attended. Take a picture of the directory map and use that to find your section.
