Parks
Atlanta’s gorgeous skyline is full of glass and steel, but guests are constantly amazed at the green space in the city. The gardens in the middle of Downtown, Midtown and Buckhead — Centennial Olympic Park, Piedmont Park and Chastain Park — are just as beautiful as they are iconic. And they are only the beginning of Atlanta’s green space.
Atlanta BeltLine and PATH400 are a great walks with views and attractions along the way. By foot or on wheels, head over to Old Fourth Ward Skatepark to test out your latest tricks or join a free community yoga class. Woodruff Park is an oasis Downtown, and Rodney Cook Sr. Park is the latest green development offering a place to sit by the creek. Grab your bike and head west to ride around Westside Reservoir Park, home to ADA-accessible trails and beautiful Atlanta skylines. Atlanta is home to the first park named after a Hispanic individual in the State of Georgia. Visit Sara J. Gonzalez Park and celebrate the culture and diversity of the city. We are the city in the forest with endless opportunities for you to enjoy the outdoors. Check out one of the many Atlanta parks and gardens open to guests daily.
