Located just steps away from other Downtown landmarks, Centennial Olympic Park will bring out the child in you, especially during the dog days of summer when the fountains are running. The park offers spectacular views of the downtown skyline, and makes for a scenic spot as a mid-afternoon reprieve. Be sure to check out the sculptures and other items commemorating the 1996 Olympics. Free concerts and festivals often find their way to the park as well, so look at the schedule online before you go. In the winter months, the park is home to a popular ice-skating rink as well.
