Centennial Olympic Park
Yes... you've heard of it before. The 1996 Centennial Olympic Games provided a pivotal shift for this former run-down neighbor area. This unique 21-acre park performs a dual mission today: it serves as Georgia's lasting legacy of the Centennial Olympic Games and it anchors efforts to revitalize residential and commercial development in Georgia's capital city of Atlanta. Any given weekend you can find lots of events focused on family, philanthropy, conservation, etc. I stumbled into this park on a recent visit to Atlanta. The park was filled with families, kids, booths, tents and a large stage still erected as a center piece. It looked like a "Walk for a Cure" event has taken place. The park is simply stunning.
