This park was right next to my hotel and very close to where I was going for work. I walked through it a few times. There is a lot to see. The Rings are the perfect photo op and there are great views of downtown Atlanta. There are a lot of homeless people wandering around but there is also a police/security presence. It didn’t take very long for me to systematically work my way through the park and see everything. The most humbling thing was the Quilt of Remembrance in honor of those killed and hurt during the bombing. And in the same area there is a fountain honoring Richard Jewell who was vilified until he was finally cleared and named a hero for his actions that day. It was great to see this place that was all over the news when I was a kid and see where it all happened.

This is certainly not one of the greatest highlights of Atlanta, but it’s a worthy stop if you’re waiting for your reservation to come up at the Coca-Cola Museum or aquarium. The park is beautifully lit at night with a view of museums, the Ferris wheel, and downtown Atlanta. You can take selfies by the Olympic rings, find a tiny memorial in the middle of a fountain to the 1996 bombing, and even see the imprint of one of the nails from the bomb in the green, fanlike statue nearby. It’s a pleasant and large area with fountains and pathways, but it doesn’t take long to see and will be uncomfortable during the cold winter days or the infamous summer humidity.

Centennial Olympic Park commemorates hosting of the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta. Serving as both a commemorative site and a hub for community engagement, the park offers a green space connecting the bustling city on all sides. There are numerous statues and fountains scattered throughout the park. The park started a trend for a remarkable wave of economic revitalization in downtown Atlanta, spawning numerous restaurants, hotels, and retail establishments in its vicinity.

Lovely park in the city, built at the time of the 1996 Olympics. A nice place to go and also nice exhibits and history. The names of medal winners are recorded on rocks. Atlanta really celebrates hosting the 1996 Olympics.

Free entry but only from 7am but its worth getting there earlier for a walk around the park to watch the sunrise. Smallish park. Opens onto another park with access to the main Atlanta attractions

I absolutely love Centennial Olympic Park in Atlanta, especially the area around the Olympic Rings. It's one of my favorite spots in the city. The park is beautifully maintained, providing a perfect blend of green space and urban vibrancy. Sitting by the Olympic Rings, you can feel the history and excitement of the 1996 Summer Olympics. It's a great place to relax, chat with friends, and enjoy some snacks. The atmosphere is always lively, with families, tourists, and locals all enjoying the surroundings. The fountains near the rings are a highlight, especially on a hot day. Watching the kids play in the water is always heartwarming. The park also hosts various events and concerts, adding to its dynamic charm. Whether you're looking for a peaceful place to unwind or a vibrant spot to socialize, the Olympic Rings at Centennial Olympic Park offer the perfect setting. It's a must-visit for anyone in Atlanta!

This is a beautiful park with lots of photo ops. It looks like you can actually do a picnic in the park and it was very family friendly. Parking in this area is ridiculously high, so I would suggest an Uber if you're not within walking distance. This just so happens to be directly across the street fro. The Embassy Suietes were we stayed, so it was pretty convenient

My star ranking may be a bit conservative. Centennial Park is definitely worth visiting and is good, but very good may be misleading. It's a park. There are things to see and it's nice to walk around to see some nice fountains and such. We walked into the visitor's center and it was kind of a joke, it takes all of about 90 seconds to see everything. Walking around the park is a good secondary thing to do if you're in the area visiting one of the major attractions such as World of Coca-Cola, the Center for Civil and Human Rights, both of which are essentially in the park, or if you're going to the aquarium or one of the nearby sports venues. Don't get me wrong, it's a very nice park, but not really worth a special trip just to see it.
