Park/Recreation Spotlight: October
2002
Commemorate the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, GA
Come enjoy Centennial Olympic Park, a 21 acre park which
highlights and commemorates the 1996 Olympics that where held in Atlanta.
Thousands of visitors come to this park every year. The park features
both man-made and natural points of interest. There are about 750 trees,
50,000 shrubs and 330,000 square feet of grass in this park, enough
to cover Turner Field (home of Major League Baseball's Atlanta Braves)
three times. Also at this park is a majestic fountain (five-ring water
fountain), exquisite art, and inspiring statues. During hot summer days
and nights, the five-ring water fountain is a popular spot to cool off.
Dogs are allowed, but must be leashed and remember to clean up after
your pet. Pets are normally not allowed in concerts at this park. The
park is bordered by Marietta Street, Baker Street, Centennial Olympic
Park Drive and Andrew Young International Blvd.
