Atlanta Centennial Olympic Park Guide

Located in the center of Atlanta, a public park established in 1996, covering a total area of 21 acres, was once part of the infrastructure of the 1996 Summer Olympics. During the Olympics, it played an important role as a gathering place for Olympic spectators, and now it has become a backyard for Atlanta residents and visiting tourists to relax. The design of the Olympic Park, which has been around for a century, takes the Olympics as its theme and adheres to the basic principles of free plan, distinctive space, and simple form. It combines sports and entertainment functions, as well as commemorative and practical functions. It is a modern landscape design that respects the personality of the site and the spirit of the place, and is humanized and ecological. Every year, the Olympic Park is famous for its rich and colorful concerts and performances. The famous summer pop concert, annual Independence Day concert, fireworks displays for various festivals, and large-scale concerts attract visitors from all over the world to come and visit. The biggest feature of the park is the famous Fountain of Rings, which is not only one of the most exquisite fountains in the world, but also the largest interactive fountain in the world, incorporating the symbol of the Olympic rings. The fountain's lighting effects are controlled by computers, and the water columns change colors that are amazing to behold in rhythm with the music. A splash pad is also designed for children to play in the fountain. The fountain show runs uninterrupted 365 days a year, with four performances per day featuring four to six songs of varying lengths. Tourists who want to see the graceful and charming fountain can watch it on time, and we believe you will be infected by its beauty. SkyView Atlanta is a movable Ferris wheel built by the Atlanta Olympic Committee in July 2013. The 61-meter-high Ferris wheel has 42 small cabins, allowing visitors to enjoy the views of the park and surrounding areas from high above. On the walls of the park, you will see the Centennial Olympic Park logo. The torch seen in the park is not the main torch lit by boxing champion Ali twenty-two years ago. The 1996 Olympic torch flame tower is located southeast of downtown and has been well-preserved for more than twenty years. This is the pride and glory in the hearts of the people of Atlanta. Ticket: Park admission is free. Opening hours: 07:00-23:00 every day.
