50 reviews for Centennial Olympic Park
My children and I really enjoyed this park. It is a pretty passive park except for the fountain and the children's playground which gets jam packed on the weekends. The water show set to music is really cool.
There are some interesting sculptures, some with Olympic themes, along with a pavilion and restrooms. On the weekends there are many people just laying around enjoying the outdoors.
Right next to the Aquarium and the Children's Museum you can make the area a complete day.

As I was heading back to my hotel post tradeshow, I heard loud bass that I knew had to be louder than a street full of low rider cutlass supremes and I had to figure out where the noise was coming from, in case I wanted to be a part of that noise... Wind Down Wednesdays in Centennial Park, FREE, with beer and wine. Oh yes, believe me as soon as I had changed out of my name badge into something more appropriate for an outdoor concert, I was there. You really can't deny that there's anything better than listening to Blame It on the Alcohol played by a hip-hop violinist while enjoying the sunny weather with a drink in your hand. The park is a great venue for this; plenty of room for smart people with lawn chairs and room for standing people like myself. I think the concert series ended the last weekend in September but i'd def. check it out again when it starts back in April.
My family and I cut through here on our way from the Aquarium and stopped long enough to take a few pics. The park is huge and although some might just try to write it off as 'just another city park', I'd definitely have to disagree with that. The flags, the bricks with donors names and dedications - just the surroundings in general. Even with the city around it... it's absolutely beautiful.

This was another hit while we were visiting on vacation. My toddler LOVED the playgrounds at the north end and they had some unique elements I had never seen anywhere else. One half is an "all children's" playground designed to suit kids with special needs. The other is your standard playground with climbing and slides.
The all children's playground had these really cool spinning stools that even my husband and I found fun. One tiny push and your stool somehow spun faster and faster. I could imagine kids would love this place. And these playgrounds are only steps away from the Children's Museum and the Georgia Aquarium.
The middle of the park has lots of open space with some pavilions, bathrooms, artwork and benches. We were there is the evening and say time and felt safe. There were a couple of nonthreatening homeless folks but you'd expect that in any city. We have way more in Orlando's downtown park, Lake Eola. I always saw bike cops roaming around. The bathrooms even had soap and towels but can you believe no changing table?
The fountains were a big draw too. It was a tad too cold to play in them but I can imagine in the summer how much fun this would be for young and old. There is a coordinated fountain show every 3 hours from 12:30-9:30pm. There is a river portion on the side of the park that was closed due to the drought.
Overall we saw a lot of people enjoying the park. Picnicking, walking their dogs, playing football, eating at the pavilions and watching the fountains. I think Atlanta should be proud of this great addition.

Like other reviewers suggest... there isn't much to do here. Well, maybe a few things. Here they are:
The Olympics - They were here many years ago. Perhaps by walking through this place you'll get all nostalgic, a warm fuzzy feeling or something. Didn't happen to me. Your results may vary.
Ice Skating - I haven't experienced this. This may be the best thing going.
The Rings Fountain - We were here last summer and it was hot. My three year old really liked the fountain. I didn't want to deny her the chance to run through it. So we stripped her down to her underpants and off she went. Now that I think about it, this sounds like something out of Jeff Foxworthy. You might be a redneck if you strip down your kids to run through the fountains at the park. Yeah, guilty.
Otherwise there really is no redeeming quality to this park. Perhaps they could create some over-the-top Olympic theme amusement park. But short of something like that, I think the city would be better served by turning most of this place back into a parking garage. I know, that's a terrible thing to say but it is probably true.

Passed by this place on a hot summer day (of course) on the way to CNN Center and didn't really have time to explore, but it looked nice and clean compared to other parks I've been to. My sister and I wished we could've ran through the water fountain the way the kids were, but since we were documenting our vacation, we didn't want to risk getting our electronics wet.
Centennial Olympic Park in Atlanta isn't particularly interesting or imaginatively designed. It's just there, sometimes sporting an ice skating rink, bearing testament to the fact that, hey, a bunch of athletes came through at some point. The Rings Fountain could be nice on a hot day and it's always fun to watch unsuspecting kids lose their minds when a jet of water hits them.
But this park is really only notable for me because it is where I once saw a homeless man try to hammer kick a pigeon.

As some pointed out, sure it's not Piedmont Park, but come on, it's a nice free park in the middle of Downtown Atlanta. Not every big city in America has an Olympic Park, we are fortunate enough to have it. I actually wish there would be more rock concerts and such held here instead of having to drive up to the northen burbs, I think the park can handle it as it has the yearly 4th of July concert and festivals.
It's a great park to go to either before or after seeing the GA Acquarium or the World of Coca-Cola, as it's all right there!
I have been to Centennial Olympic Park for a few events. Most recently for the National Black Arts Festival. The park is nestled in downtown between Phillips Arena, and neighboring sky scrapers. The lawns are clean and well managed. The fountain was full of small children, and some adults, trying to stay cool by dancing in the water. For this event, they had the stage set up with vendors lining the sidewalks. What was most impressive was how clean everything was.
This park always surprises me. I've been for the 4th of July, the Final Four and Jazz in the park. Each time, it's always neat, clean, and well kept. I'm not sure if I'd go back just for fun but, if there's another event, I'd definitely check it out.

There isn't a heck of a lot to DO there, but it's pretty neat to at least walk through and see the various different little pools and rock ponds throughout. It's a break in all of the hustle and bustle in downtown Atlanta. We got in trouble for putting our feet into one of the pools though, so let this be a word of caution...don't do it!! We actually got thrown out of the park! Ha.
The coolest part is probably where the fountains spring out of the Olympic Rings though. However, if you go during the summer, expect to see many people bringing their young ones there to use it as a "pool" of sorts. I personally think it detracts from the park to have people using it so that they don't have to pay for pool admissions, but if the Park Council is fine with it, I guess I have to be too. (Although, I put a picture up of this in my album here...and you can just see how sickeningly packed with kids it is.)
It can, and usually is, really hectic. It's neat to at least see if kids aren't all over it. :)

A great place to chill and take a break from the concrete jungle. While there isn't a whole lot to see or do in the park, the Olympic Rings fountain is a fun attraction, especially for kids. Bring a book or laptop, and a cuppa joe, and you'll be all set.
I went during November, which I would definitely recommend. This is the South, so as soon as the temperature dips below 60 degrees, everyone stays inside. But transplanted Northerners aren't afraid of a light chill, so bring a windbreaker and have the whole park to yourself! The fountain was running even in November.

Nice park.
Not huge. And darn it the fountain was not running due to the drought.
We stayed right on the park at the Embassy Suites and walked through it to get to the major attractions. There are some good play sets for the kids and it was great to have some open green space for them to run around in.

Just got back from ice skating at Centennial Olympic Park! Thought I would reach deep within the Asian side of me and pull out the inner Michelle Kwan that I have. Even though I invited an entourage of people, it was only Leslie and I. What's up with the Southerners and the fear of ice???
Anyways, Thursday night...not as packed as I would say the weekend would be, although I was surprised to see the amount of kids there...and a birthday party!? I would definitely try Tues. or Wed. night if you want to be the snow princess of Atlanta. The rink is definitely small and the skates were old and worn out, but I pretty much expected it for eight dollars. It was just so nice to skate outside on a cold night in the middle of the city!
Now I'm surprisingly a very good skater and people enjoyed watching me come up with my own dance renditions to Fergie and Jordin Sparks. (I seem to have missed my calling somehow!) I did notice that the people that brought their own skates seemed to have an easier time gliding across the floor! For what it was worth, it was a great time and I would probably go back when there is less of a crowd. So if you just want to go out and have a fun night, definitely go...if you want to practice your triple lutz and spins, keep it at the rink in Gwinnett!

Well on a whim, we decided to go to the park. Mothers Day has proved to be a fairly pretty day...just some rain right before we left...just the same...the wide open spaces, large trees, the families with their kids...playing in the fountain...I found it all to be fun and interesting....Overall I give this park a 4 and well let's just say I plan on coming back...
I think that with a lot of Atlanta's landmarks, it's easier to appreciate them fully when you have an understanding of their evolution, most especially "what they used to be". Centennial Olympic Park basically used to be parking lots. This is part of the reason why it is now so difficult to park downtown. The lots were valuable real estate, and a place for Deadheads to gather when The Grateful Dead came to play at the Omni, but that's a whole other story.
A good one though. I used to do some of that "gathering" there myself back in the day, wandering up and down the aisles of parked microbuses and station wagons, dodging drugged out hippies holding up their index fingers and pleading, "I need a miracle". Ah yes, those were fun times indeed. People actually traveled for miles following that crazy original jam band, and camped out in those very parking lots for the three day tour of the Dead in Atlanta. I merely bought tickets to the shows, usually through the band's mail order service, and headed downtown to see what goodies were for sale in the parking lots before going inside for the shows (I'd already gotten my miracle), you know, jewelry and veggie burritos and such (though there were a lot of things for sale).
When the Olympics were announced as coming to our fine city, everything changed. Rents skyrocketed (forcing me, for one, out to the exurbs), and a major gentrification project began, in every neighborhood, but most especially downtown. Street people were told to find new streets, parking lots were ripped up, and Centennial Olympic Park, for example, was built. Commemorative paving bricks, oddly enough, were sold to proud Atlantans wanting forever to be a part of the experience (yes, I happen to have TWO bricks in the park, but I always have to enter the office and use the brick finder to remember where they are!), and the place was paved with names and hearts and remembrances.
I never thought I'd be a fan of the park, but I accept change, after a while, and Centennial Park is one of the best things to happen to a revitalized downtown Atlanta. The Olympic Rings fountain is great fun (I even have a picture of me standing in it), as is watching the kids who play in it, the grassy areas are just grassy enough, and perfect for watching fireworks, or live music shows (I happened to be there the night of the bombing doing just that, watching a concert - thankfully I left before the bomb went off), and the memorial statues fitting. It's a great mix of green space and mixed use park area, centrally located between CNN Center and the Aquarium, with restaurants (mostly fairly expensive and touristy) and mixed use (lots of mixing it up around this area) buildings surrounding.
Centennial Park is no NYC Central Park, by a longshot, nor even as green as Piedmont, but it's a nice place to hang out when the weather is nice, or to stroll through to see the lights display at the winter Holidays. From parking lots that witnessed fun times for those Deadheads who can still remember, to a park that visitors and Atlantans both can enjoy and be somewhat proud of, it's one of my Best of Atlanta destinations. Take the train to CNN Center, walk on over, and visit the Aquarium too, make a day of it. You won't be sorry.

Ok, so those of us who live in Atlanta pretty much have all been here- but, did you know they have an ice skating rink in the winter?
I think most of Atlanta was privy to this rink, as there was at least as many people as the population of John's Creek on the ice Friday night.
This is definitely not a romantic place to go to if you are on a date on a Friday night- too many people to bump into.
I'd suggest going on a less busy night, like the weekdays.

Ice skating in the park, yay or nay?!
We arrive at the park around 8:00. When I say packed I seriously mean packed!! I think the concept was really nice, BUT, there were a ton of teenagers on the ice wearing sneakers, just standing around talking. Normally when you go roller skating or bowling they sanitize the skates/shoes with spray (or at least they spray something in them to give you the illusion that germs and harmful fungi is being contained), well not here! The skates were wet and almost unbearably smelly (ugh). The number of kids under the age of 10 seemed to out number the adults, the kids would run around and toss ice at one another, and literally grab you as a shield.
It was a nice experience but I doubt I would ever go again, the rink was way too small for the amount of people. The only good thing was after wards you get to walk around the park and see the lights, that is if you can forget about your bacteria infested feet.

Ok so on Saturday afternoon I went out to the park to try my own shot at the "ice skating" and I had a BLAST!! It was a bit busy, but not too overcrowded. Alot of individuals were standing on the side watching over the rink. But on the rink their was plenty of space to move around in.
We were newbies, so it took us a minute to get used to the ice, and so we were among the rest of the individuals clinging on to the side of the railing as we went around, but once we got the hang of it, we were on the go!!!

Besides Centennial Park obviously being a monument dedicated to the Olympic Games held in Atlanta 11 years ago, the park has been the host for several other events. The last time I was actually at the park was when 99x hosted their free concert series called "On the Bricks."
Going to this park in the middle of the day in July is something that I would not recommend. Every time I have been remotely close to that area on foot I felt like the sun was making a sworn enemy out of me concentrating his nasty ultra violet rays on my body. Seriously though, I think the temperature rises in that area because of the lack of trees along with the black pavement and brick walkway combination.
The whole water fountain thing that kids are supposed to play in is something that I avoid, no matter how hot of a day it may be. I think the fountain recycles the water that springs from the ground, and judging by the number of different people that jump through the thing on a daily basis, there is no telling what kinds of nasty liquids are mixed in the water. No, I am not a germ freak, I am just a little wary of kids and bums in the city who may have decided to tinkle into the drain why they were playing.
Overall, this is a great place for tourists who are visiting the city and want to see a place that is permanently embedded in the "Memorable moments in American History" or whatever.

The only thing that makes this a 2 star instead of 3 star is the simple fact that Olympians once came through once upon a time. It's a nice square patch of land but there aren't too many big nice trees or park benches. It's more cement and brick than anything. A statue and a fountain that synchronizes to songs, like at the Bellagio in Vegas (but no massive lake underneath it). The fountain was the most entertaining part of the park. The grass was all brown - I learned it was summer grass and it was supposed to look like that? It's a gated park that is closed at night but don't go too late or you might see a drug deal. Not kidding.

Before coming to Atlanta, I only saw COP on TV. I was expecting to be more spectacular. It was a visual disappointment. Its not ugly but it wasn't anything that made me say, "wow! this place is fantastic!". On a good note, its centrally located near some really great tourist spots. Hey I'm a tourist, what can I say? The kids seem to like the water park. It was a hot day so the little ones were running in an out of the water trying to beat the streams of water. In most cases they were un successful and got hit with the water that shot out of the ground into the air.
One memorable experience was buying ice cream from this vendor in the park. She was the most popular vendor there. It was so hot that kids were lining up in droves for a scope of ice cream.

Any park that has a water fountain feature synchronized to Neal Diamond tunes can't be ignored...
It's bigger than it looks as you zoom past it on the way to Philips Arena or CNN Center. They do a good job of hosting the occasional event and keeping it clean for the tourists. There's definitely a lot more people in the park now that the Aquarium is around.
If you're in town for a convention or working nearby, give it a shot in the spring for an impromptu lunchtime picnic. Just don't lose your mind and run into the fountains with the kids.

I'm really glad there is a park of some kind in the downtown area. It's curious eleven years later, to have something so singly devoted to the 1996 Olympics, but it's pleasant, if a bit artificial. And it does the job with a playground for kids, broad walking paths, lots of benches even if most of them will burn your shorts-wearing butt, a honky refreshment stand that serves icees, and your typical trimmed grass and trees.
A word about the water show. There is a fountain right in the middle of the park composed of a bunch of jets that squirt water right out of the ground. The fountain is usually filled with little children jumping around during summer weekends, but at certain intervals, they clear everyone out using a recording, and the fountain performs a show to music. In keeping with the Olympic theme, of course, they have the Olympic music and Chariots of Fire, and it is quite absurd, but entertaining. After the water show is over, a disturbing sulfury smell lingers in the air around the fountain.

I enjoyed the outdoor ice-skating there during the winter. I find it to be a nice place to have a picnic, relax and unwind.
As the park in the very center of Atlanta, Olympic Park is a good spot to go for a stroll and see a few landmarks. There are plenty of attractions all around the park, including:
- CNN Center
- The Georgia Dome
- Georgia Tech
- The Georgia Aquarium (biggest in the world!)
The park itself has much to offer, including water gardens, various plazas honoring individuals and organizations, and (currently) an ice-skating rink.
Being situated on the side of a hill, the park offers some decent views. Most important, it seems pretty safe.

Built in '95 just before Atlanta hosted the world games, Cenntennial Olympic Park is more like a visual landmark than a place to really 'hang out'. Reason being: there's not a lot here. Yes, it is very aesthetically pleasing: the bricks embossed with people's names (my sister and I are there somewhere), the fountain that squirt out of grates in the ground that you can run through and soak your clothes (quite fun, I must admit), and long stretches of plants and greenlife with benches and etc.
Really that's it though. There's an information lounge that I've never been into. In the winter they have ice skating. In the summer they have a free concert series called 'On the Bricks' that occasionally has nice shows. I saw the Flaming Lips here last year and it was probably in the top ten shows I've ever seen.
If there's not an event here, or if you're not already in the area for the Tabernacle or something else, there's not a whole lot of reason to come wander around the park other than it's just nice to look at.
Still, our city could use more like this. Of course we only get nice new modifications when we're having company and we want visitors not to think Atlanta sucks.

I didn't get nostalgic because I don't remember this from the Olympics. I mostly enjoyed this space because it felt good to be on grass after commuting through all the concrete MARTA stations. I was here during a drought, so I didn't get to enjoy the fountains. It was too early for ice skating. You just people watch and walk around the Olympic memorial.

Are you guys nuts or what? Centennial Olympic Park has cool events for adults in the summer. Let's not forget "Wind Down Wednesdays" and Free concerts in the spring and summer. I Lke it!
Take a walk in the park in downtown Atlanta. Built for the 1996 Olympics, Centennial Park is a central tourist attraction surrounded by The Omni Hotel, CNN Center, Georgia Dome, Phillips Arena, The Tabernacle, Georgia Aquarium, Imagine It! Children's Museum, America's Mart Inforum and the soon to be finished World of Coca Cola. This park hosts free concerts during the summer and ice skating in the winter. When the weather is nice you'll see children and a few adults, running through The Water Fountain Of Rings. This fountain has been such a hit in Atlanta that it's the first image arriving travelers see before they reach the baggage claim at Hartsfield Jackson International Airport.
Centennial Park will forever be a historical part of this city. Beyond its Olympic status, the bricks that create walkways and paths throughout the park have names and dates on them representative of people that purchased them. This park is perfect for taking pictures, basking in the beautiful downtown skyline, a picnic, a relaxing walk, a date or a night scouring the town with friends. If you're in town for Independence Day check out the fireworks. Also from November through January there is a Holiday in Lights celebration. For hours and events go to http://www.centennialp....

It's a great place to sit down to relax if you are out of town or you want to take a break from work. It is rather small, though, so don't expect a workout running (I managed to get around the park in about 10 minutes - and this is with me stopping for the lights and tying my shoes).
That and free parking appears to be a problem. Go there via MARTA.

You can anchor a downtown around a lot of different things. Many cities build around waterfront. Baltimore did. They thought, "We've got water. Fish live in the water. Why not build an aquarium next to the water, so that people can look at the fish without a scuba tank?"
Here in Atlanta, we don't have waterfront. But we do have a park, a remnant of the 1996 Olympics. And, even though we're oh so landlocked, we still appreciate cool fish. So we built an aquarium adjacent to the park. Sure, it's a little bit of a stretch. But so far people love it.
As for the park, in winter there's an ice rink. In summer there's the occasional free concert. Last summer I saw The Flaming Lips in Centennial Olympic Park. The Lips, as they tend to do, rocked. And the park was a great place to see a show.
Also in the park, you have the sporadic shooting water fountain, that the kids like to run through in summer. It's not my cup of tea, but the kids look like they're having fun and that's all that matters.
Centennial Olympic might not be the most scenic place in the world. It may not bring the cool breezes that blow off of the Baltimore harbor. But I can think of worse things to build around.

Has it really been 11 years since the whole world had their eyes on Atlanta and the 1996 Olympic Games?!
This park is just a reminder of the festivities that went on during the Olympics, and what still goes on today. There are a few memorials and statues honoring the Athletes that filled our hearts with hope scattered around this lush, 1 block by 1 block, park.
The crowds that fill this park are tourist visiting the New Coca Cola Museum (I'll go once the crowds die down, and then I'll let you know my thoughts) and the Aquarium. There are also tons of camp kids that can be found soaking wet in the fountains during the hot summer months. During the winter, everyone joins in for some ice skating on the tiny rink that is constructed over the fountains.
Also, there are are numerous family events and concerts that take place here throughout the year.
It is a perfect place to sit and reflect on how great a city Atlanta is. I remember the first time I stretched out on the grass and gazed at the glowing city lights. I thought about how peaceful Atlanta can be sometimes but this was ironically after I saw the British band Blur rock out at the Tabernacle across the street.

A nice place to bring kids or just to enjoy the downtown skyline and nearby popular tourist spots like the aquarium. We took our son here recently to see the water fountain show and really enjoyed it. It's great to have a place where all sorts of people form all groups are represented and can come together to enjoy a nice park - Piedmont Park tends to have mostly the aflluent nearby residents.
One drawback is the lack of shade. There's young trees around that aren't big enough to provide any relief on a hot Georgia summer day. It'll be better as the trees grow.

As a true landmark in Atlanta's historic downtown plaza and a true homage to our last US-based summer games, the Centennial Olympic Plaza is a park that stays true to the American spirit while staying casual and beautiful. True, its not Atlas sized or of Olympic-sized proportions but is still a great place to take a family for a nice weather outing and is a focal point for some of the best views in the city.
Running through the unpredictable water fountain seems to be a local tradition here. Its a great place for people watching, meeting up with other folks, and looks to be safe, well-kept, and relaxing at the same time.

Do not expect to go to the Olympic park and find an easy lunch or dinner. The park is nice for a quick stroll, but on a rainy New Years Eve there was nothing else to do besides ice skate. The visitors center information booth people were not helpful. They offer low end coffee, pretzels and very little seating. And there are no other restaurants, coffee shops or shopping in general within walking distance or even visible from the park.
You must have a lunch or dinner venue picked out in advance prior to going to the park or you will be up a creek without a paddle if you don't already know downtown Atlanta like the back of your hand.
Atlanta by the park is a wasteland of want for street level shopping and restaurants. It's an impossibly un-walkable downtown area. Skip it and hit one of the malls. That's where Atlanta has apparently corralled the action. Or try Piedmont park which reflects real life as opposed to this empty green and cobble stone crater.
I think this is a must see for out of towners with kids. Every time I am here I see kids running in and out of the jumping fountain and I think that it has to be people from out of town. Locals would laugh if their children suggested they drive out to COP in the heat of the summer when gas is high so they can run through the water that acts like a sprinkler gone wild.
They have events here in the park, but I always feel there is little to no publicity. Music gets the biggest draw next to the fireworks on the 4th of July. It is nice to lay out on some lawn chairs here during a nice spring or summer day.
This park is nice. There are column replicas of Olympic torches around the park. It's a nice place to hang out when the weather's nice. There is also a children's playground for those visiting families. We passed by the park on the way to other touristy destinations, and it looked like they were setting up for some kind of concert.
