About Centennial Olympic Park

Built as the heart of the 1996 Summer Games, this 22-acre downtown green is now Atlanta's front lawn. Kids dance in the famous Fountain of Rings, the lawns host festivals and free concerts, and the city's biggest attractions ring its edges. It's the perfect free anchor for a downtown day.
