Centennial Olympic Park
Centennial Olympic Park is located within five miles of Candler Park Golf Course and Ansley Golf Club. Centennial Olympic Park was created to offer a scenic gathering spot for visitors during the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta. Today the 21-acre park commemorates the games with statues, bricks and fountains, and it also serves as a gathering place for festivals, children's activities and outdoor recreation. The park, which is located across from CNN Center, offers well-maintained grounds that feature scenic views of the Atlanta skyline. The park is also a popular family destination, as many children play in the fountains in the summer and enjoy ice skating in the temporary skating rink set up during the winter. The park also features elaborate Christmas lights and a large Christmas tree during the holiday season. The park is free and parking is available in metered and free spaces on the streets next to the park.
