We grabbed food, supported a few vendors, then took it to the grass to sunbathe and decompress. Perfect way to spend a morning. Great day, great weather, great vibes. Piedmont Park delivered.

Huge park that connects to the Atlanta Beltline and Ponce City Market!…read more This park is pretty big and offers a space to do various activities such as picnicking, leisure walk, and biking/scootering to name a few. I even saw a baseball field. I would just stay vigilant because there's a lot of bike riders who go fast on the walkways, so I wouldn't suggest wearing noise cancelling earphones. For parking, you can find some free street parking around.

Such a pretty and relaxing park. Great spot to picnic, walk alone or with pets, kayak or spend time…read morewith kids. The main attractions here are the swings and the lake with a beautiful view. I love visiting it with my husband just before sunset. We saw so many kids playing in the spider web climbing thing and the play area. There was a birthday party going on and the park was filled with folks of all ages. Trails: A little walk on the left leads you to the dam(falls) and it's a very quiet and serene path to walk or jog. There are 2-3 trails around the park but a bit rugged, so I recommend going when there's plenty of daylight. Parking spots are plenty and the park is pet-friendly. Fun fact: Atlanta Astronomy Club conduct star gazing events at this park. Check their website for more information!

Seeing OutKast come home to Centennial Olympic Park for #ATLast was genuinely one of the best…read morenights of my life. I had seen Big Boi solo before, but seeing him and André 3000 together in Atlanta, surrounded by the city and culture that produced them, was something else entirely. OutKast is sacred to me, and that weekend felt like an Atlanta hip-hop family reunion, with Future, Killer Mike, Sleepy Brown, 2 Chainz, and others turning the park into an extraordinary hometown celebration. The Friday night I attended felt like a Dungeon Family hit parade, and I'm very glad I was there for it. The whole weekend only deepened my affection for Atlanta. After Friday's show, we went to El Bar, where the late DJ Speakerfoxxx was absolutely killing it, and on Saturday we watched part of OutKast from a rooftop before heading to Terminal West to see a then-emerging Jungle, who sounded destined for superstardom from the first tune. Even the Coca-Cola presence beside the park felt perfectly Atlanta: an iconic global company woven right into the landscape of its hometown. What a trip, what a music city, and what a weekend. SALUTE.

I really wanted to explore this place more than I got to. When I was in town, the whole park was…read moreclosed to the public. Kind of a bummer, I would have loved to have walked the entirety of the park and not see it from the outside at certain intervals. We were told that it was closed off because they were doing repairs after the FIFA World Cup viewing parties. Not sure if this was true, but there was still FIFA props everywhere. What I was able to take in was from the perimeter. Every gate I was able to stop and peek in to figure out what was in each spot. From behind bars I was able to see a lot and figure out what was what. Would have been nice to actually walk through here and be on Olympic grounds kind of. It is beautiful to see, and it is huge. Maybe one day I will be able to take it all in.

Pro: If you're looking for a scenic hike near Atlanta, I highly recommend Sweetwater Creek State…read morePark. The park offers a perfect blend of nature, history, and adventure. The trails wind alongside beautiful rushing rapids, through shaded forests, and lead to the fascinating ruins of the historic New Manchester Mill, which dates back to the Civil War era. citeturn0search0turn0search2 The Red Trail is especially popular and provides stunning creek views with a relatively easy-to-moderate hike, while longer trails offer more of a challenge for experienced hikers. The sound of the water, rocky landscapes, and peaceful surroundings make it easy to forget you're only minutes from Atlanta. excellent destination for a day of hiking, picnicking, and making memories with friends. Con: Parking fees are $10 (gone are the $5 day) Also, the way you pay is...via link and it can be tricky & time consuming. You can go park anywhere in the park once you pay...you don't have to pay 2nd time.

Today's hike at Sweetwater exceeded my expectations in every way! The weather was giving spring…read morevibes and the people were out for it ! Initially we parked in the wrong lot but that worked in our favor (where the bait and tackle shop is). There were lots of families out having picnics and fishing. We did a 1-mile loop in the area and were able to see the yurts. NOTED . Beautiful sites to take in before we ventured to the main lots with the visitor's center. Not only are the trails well marked, but there is ample parking across multiple lots. The attendant at the gate entrance was so kind, welcoming and JOYful! We ventured out on the red trail and it was gorgeous. To my surprise, the trail was full today. It seems that Sweetwater is a populated date spot!!! We saw folks of all ages out with picnic baskets, journals, coloring books, bathing suits ... it was AMAZING! We hiked to the end of the red trail and back, venturing off trail to be clear to the River only once. By far, this was one of my favorite hikes and definitely a place I'll revisit to explore some of the other trails.
