Djaniella D.September 12, 2016Home of the 1996 Olympic Games! Take a stroll around & check out the different monuments. Close to many things nearby including the aquarium, Coca Cola, Football Hall of Fame, & a huge ferris wheel!

Daniel SullinsNovember 18, 2013There is something always going on. You may see food trucks, performers, and ice skating in the winter. Don't forget the new 200 hundred feet carousel near the park. Maybe just enjoy the weather.
Kevin AccettullaOctober 28, 2016Absolutely stunning and very relaxing. I recommend stopping by here to take a look. It's very close to the Coca Cola museum and the aquarium.
