Quiet and tree lined park with lovely views of the Atlanta skyline - fountains weren't working unfortunately but still well worth the walk round. Thousands of sponsored bricks to make up the walkways and interesting sculptures etc dotted round the park.

Centennial Olympic Park was set up for the NCAA Men's Final Four when we visited, and about half of it was set aside for the concerts that ran during the 4 days of the tournament. There wasn't much grass left in the concert area, but the rest of the park was beautiful, with lots of trees, bushes, and flowers.

I have visited the Centennial Olympic Park several times throughout the years during visits to the other downtown Atlanta attractions. Every visit was been absolutely worth it no matter what the weather conditions are.

Prettier than peidmont park but also smaller. water fountains are fun for kids and adults. Great restaurants nearby (Peasant Bistro is a little known gem and Baja Fresh is good too). Has great skyline views.

Beautiful park located in downtown Atlanta. You will feel very safe while at the park since there are so many Atlanta Police officers in and around the park. You can't throw a rock without hitting one.

Walked through this park a few times while wandering around downtown. Nice enough, good for relaxing for a moment and making use of the free wi-fi. Not something to make a point of going to as a tourist but worth a look while in the area.

The only reason to visit is for a free concert, or to start a charity walk/run. Go to The World of Coke instead.
