Piedmont Park is a beautiful place. It's very large with lots of room for walks, runs, or letting kids explore. For the kids they have a nice playground, a splash fountain for those hot days, or if you want to spend $5 a very nice pool for the little ones. For adults there are tennis courts, running trails, nature areas, and more. read more

Piedmont Park - Parks Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Huge park that connects to the Atlanta Beltline and Ponce City Market! 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. read more

Came out for the Saturday morning farmers market and it did not disappoint. About 30 vendors spread across the park covering everything from hot foods and coffee to flower stands and dog treat vendors. 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. read more

Piedmont Park is an 121 yr. old, 200+ acre public park in Atlanta. The Piedmont Ave & 14th Street Entrance was within walking distance from our hotel. Upon arrival the first time visiting, in clear view was gorgeous greenery. Actually, along w/ great weather, lots of greenery and beautiful views are everywhere in Piedmont Park. Visiting the park multiple times throughout our trip occurred to truly enjoy all that Piedmont Park has to offer. Here are the highlights: - American Artist David Hammons "Free Nelson Mandela" Sculpture ' Created in 1987. - Dockside & Lake Clara Meer & Promenade - Gazebo - People were outside fishing & we just enjoyed seeing turtles, ducks, etc. in the lake. - Active Oval - People can go around the oval & walk, jog, etc. as well as enjoy exercising on pull-up bars, etc. - Skyline Atlanta Point - pictures taken here give you a fabulous view - reminds me a bit of an NYC Skyline. - Sean's Heart of the Park & the Swimming Pool. Pool has General Admission (small fee) & specific days w/ hours that have free admission. Seans's Heart of the Park has snacks / beverages for sale. We ordered delicious Strawberry Lemonade Slushies & hotdogs. There are various restroom & playground areas, cute birds & ducks & several jumbo bench swings w/ in areas of the park. Boy, did we enjoy using one of the swings & feeling the genntle breeze on our skin...so peaceful! Open Everyday - 6am - 11pm. piedmontpark.org @piedmontpark Check their website for information on things including programs, tours, their calendar, etc. read more

short of Central Park in Manhattan (from the same architect btw) Piedmont Park is the most-important greenspace on the eastern seaboard--but for sure the southeast. as such, we have to protect it with all we have. sadly, some other groups are not living up to the example that residents want for Piedmont Park. most notably, some of the decisions made by Botanical Garden and the land-swap. after all, that's how we got a "mini storage district" across from the park--something that would NEVER happen in New York. Piedmont is one of the reasons why I chose to grow my family in the Garden District and--barring some sort of massive shift in the city proper--I would like to retire here too. Piedmont Park is the Jewel of the Southeast and we should protect it with all we have. read more

One of the best parks in Atlanta which is 200 acres and a great place to spend time. Whether you are looking for biking, walking, running, playing games, or attending festivals, this is your one-stop destination. You can also attend many festivals here all year round. This place does have bike rentals and scooter rentals as well. It also has a small pond with ducks where you can see a young couple doing photoshoots or the next tik tok star in the making :) Apart from this, it also has soccer fields and swings for kids. Overall, a great huge park for any of your needs if you are looking to be close to nature. read more

Came here to have a picnic on my 12 year anniversary and we picked out a prime spot too: in the grass, shade, cool breeze. But of course it wasn't enough because people had to literally sit RIGHT NEXT TO US. They not only sat next to us, they kept kicking their goddamn dodgeball at us literally three times until we just had enough. It really sucks when you're passively bullied by your own people. Saying sorry doesn't mean anything if you keep DOING IT. Anyway, go at your own caution. They do have lit festivals like the Pride festival in October we go to and the arts festival usually in August. Just be prepared to be potentially harassed or bullied for existing. read more

A great park in Atlanta. This place gives me Central Park vibes but on a scale that is manageable and enjoyable. I think I mostly relate it to that because it's the only other "park in a city" that I know and have been to, haha. Parks in a city is probably one of my favorite things because it brings nature to the urban area. At Piedmont Park, there are a lot of fields, walking/running trails, and many other things you can explore here. My last trip to Atlanta, I came here with my best friend for a nice relaxing time before heading to the airport to catch a flight home. We sat and read beneath the trees and it was probably one of my highlights of the trip. Everyone seemed to have the same idea, as we weren't the only ones doing this here. Such a great park to read, nap, or have a picnic at. Love it here! read more

Piedmont Park is such a great place in Atlanta! Always enjoy my time here. Clean fun outdoor area in town. A group of us (8) meet near the Park Tavern to do a night walk around the park during December. It was cold, but we soon warmed up during our hike. We choose the night because of the Holiday Lights. We wondered around for about 6 miles, passing by the Botanical Gardens which had beautiful holiday lights. Also we got on Peachtree Street with the many light displays along the road. All in all great way to burn some calories with friends, while enjoying the holidays. See my numerous pics. We have been here during daylight hours too. Many more people then. Also sports fields, lakes, and relaxing areas on the grass. Music is normal part of the park with symphony concerts during the summer. Also movies on the green during summer. Nice views of the downtown skyscrapers from Piedmont Park. The popular beltline trail is near Piedmont Park. Parking can be a hassle. Easiest is to use one of the paid lots. Free parking can be found on some of the side streets, but read the signs carefully before parking. read more

Yes, you DEFINITELY get a great "Central Park" vibe as you explore this wonderful downtown Atlanta gem, and it's no wonder, as it was apparently designed by the same person (Olmstead?) who "created" NY's Central Park. Although we went on a somewhat cold(er), dreary late December afternoon, it's easy to imagine how full of LIFE this park must be as the weather gets warmer. Beautiful city views, great expanses of lawn/greenery, a pool, a lake, picnic areas, playgrounds... And that was just what we saw after a quick wander-through; I just KNOW there's so much more to see and do here. We were lucky to find nearby parking... I'm sure it gets more challenging during "prime time." If I lived in the area, I'd be back with my bicycle, a nice picnic lunch, and plans to do absolutely NADA for the whole day!! Enjoy this GREAT city resource, Atlanta!!! read more

Don't follow the direction of whoever posted it on Yelp. Takes you to the botanical guard gate entrance. Turn from Piedmont and Monroe and onto the Monroe entrance to the deck. Park on deck floors 1, 2 or 3 or risk being booted. This state loves putting boots on vehicles, how inane is that? The running statue is located at the Piedmont Commons area. First half hour is free. $3 for the first hour and $2 for every half hour. read more

My nephew and I had so much fun! Things have changed greatly since I last visited this park many years ago. They have a lovely parking garage. The botanical gardens are located here. I don't remember pool being there before, there is one now. The playground had a lot to offer, with instruments, slides, swings, and a mini fire truck. read more

Went here this weekend for an event. Park was clean and there was a market on one side, dog rescue event on the other. It was a perfect day so there were a lot of people there just hanging out, walking, jogging, relaxing, celebrating birthdays, taking wedding photos, shopping at the market, walking dogs, etc. I noticed there are a lot of bikes and scooters you could rent. Park is situated in a residential area and the are little eateries that are easily accessible. Most of these eateries look like they are locally owned or ma-n-pop places so I love that about thus area. Has a lake in the middle, no swimming and didn't spot any alligators so that's a plus! read more

I visited Piedmont Park in mid-November 2023 during a hotel stay in midtown. If the weather is nice in autumn, I would strongly recommend a visit here (even for 1 hour) to enjoy the pathways and foliage. The park is accessible from 14th St. (walking south east from the High Museum of Art). Or you can walk to the 12th St. entrance. First, it has several paved walkways that are ideal for a stroll or jog. Second, you can find two playgrounds (if you're traveling with kids). Third, it covers a vast area - one could easily spend a few hours just walking around the park. I only had 30 minutes to visit, so did not go very far beyond the memorial to Booker T. Washington, the lake overlook house, and the pathway to 12th St. This vast park used to be the property of Dr. Benjamin Walker who sold it in 1887 to the Gentlemen's Driving Club (for horse enthusiasts). It hosted a couple of important expositions in the late 1800s to commemorate the growth and rising prosperity of post-Civil War Atlanta. If you're trying to Google Maps your way here, search for the Booker T. Washington marker. read more

We were here for the first day of the Atlanta Dogwood Festival which was huge and pretty much took over most of the park. All of the walkways were set up with vendor booths and tents featuring artists and there were others with food and for some reason, expensive cheap wine and cheap beer. The park is pretty amazing with walkways, fields, scenic paths, pavilions, restrooms and so much greenery. Parking along the perimeter streets is marked but not free during the festival. We found street parking a block or two away. Interesting tidbit - the park was the home field of Atlanta's first professional baseball team, the Atlanta Crackers. And now you know that as well.

I loved exploring Piedmont Park during my recent visit to Atlanta! We were able to walk here from our hotel in Uptown so I'm not exactly sure of the parking situation but this park was HUGE! They had all kinds of activities going on from baseball, running, beach volleyball courts, a public pool, soccer, and so much more! We also happened to be walking around when a market was going on so it was neat to explore some local vendors selling homemade food, candles, clothing, etc. The park overall was pretty amazing with a lake through the middle, city views, paths, pavilions and well kept grass areas. It would be the perfect place for a picnic or to go for a run if I lived in the area. I loved how full of life this park was, truly an amazing spot in Atlanta! read more

This is always a dope joint to walk through. It's a super large park that is in a really good spot in Atlanta. It is near the beltline, several food establishments/cafes/bars, hosts many events (such as the jazz fest), has trails for walking and biking, plenty of picnic space, and it's just a one stop shop for all of the chill vibes (especially on a good and clear day). Parking is basically get it how you can, so just be aware of that (street parking most likely but there is a garage as well if you can get a spot). Its near the botanical gardens, which can be another plus to visit. read more

Great place for a picnic, walk, and photos. I love Piedmont Park because of how expansive and spacious it is. Our holiday tradition the last few years has been to come out to the park for photos. With the backdrop, you'd be hard pressed to find another spot in Atlanta that's family friendly and picture worthy. You can hear the sound of ducks and birds. Recommend visiting the park on your stop to Atlanta and making the most of Atlanta's open spaces. read more

I really enjoyed my time at Piedmont Park! Even though the leaves were all fallen off and it was gloomy, the park still had this picturesque feel to it. We walked to Piedmont from Ponce Market using the beltline. There were so many people around and enjoying the outdoors. They have a pond, the botanical gardens, fields, tracks, a dog park and many other activities. We rented scooters and rode around the park. Good place for that as there are no cars! I bet in the summer it's even more beautiful. There's also a view of midtown. read more

The central green space of Atlanta offers a variety of recreational opportunities and facilities. Aesthetically, it isn't that impressive or distinctive; I'm not sure I'd know I was in Atlanta if I hadn't put the city in my GPS. The botanical garden embedded in the park is more interesting, but if you just need an outdoor space to roam, this is it. read more

Piedmont Park is like a mini Central Park. Each part of the park showcases something different and has multiple trails. It's walking distance a few blocks from where my friend lives. If you walk up Piedmont Ave to 10th St and take a right at the rainbow crosswalk, it'll lead you straight there. There's open fields with trees that you can lay out to have a nice picnic, read a book, or play fetch with your dog. There's paved trails around it and a unique playground. Another part has a special track area, and people played soccer in the open middle space that Saturday morning. There's a nice lake at the bottom. During Christmas, they have a light show at the Atlanta Botanical Garden, which you can also access from a part of the park. Then, if you keep walking down the street, it'll lead you to the East Beltline trail that's closed off to vehicles and has really cool art/art walls and restaurants that lead you to Trader Joe's or Ponce City Market. I love how accessible Midtown Atlanta can be. It's got an East coast charm. read more

Ahhhh Piedmont Park...an Atlanta staple. What is there to say to those that have never been? Get here ASAP! I've been here a thousand times, from the many Dogwood Festivals, handful of Pride Festivals, Music Midtown and just tons of days having a picnic in the park. It's huge, it's beautiful and you can do some great people watching. I've never felt unsafe in the park. The park is packed where there are events, and overall busy on regular days. Parking around the park can be difficult. I always take MARTA to the Midtown station and walk the few blocks to the park. It's really your best option and it'll take you maybe 7-10 minutes by foot. I will continue to go to Piedmont for events or just chillin out with a great book. If you love hanging out outdoors, this park is for you! read more

Lovely day for the park We visited Piedmont park from the beltline off ponce city market. The beltline was alive with vendors and activists for Iran's women's protest. It was a nice walk to the park where we passed by several art installations, and admired the murals painted on the back doors of businesses. The park itself was quite slow on this overcast day. The lawn is massive but the grass today was pale from the winter. There are bikes and e-scooters you can rent - which we did- to further explor the park. The sidewalk trail is clear and goes in a circle. We passed by a lake with bench swings, a bridge, and stone staircases along the way. It's a large park with tons of space and setups for volleyball and tennis. Great place to spend outdoors, and very near businesses for drinks and food after. read more
