Atlanta's Best Parks & Green Spaces

Atlanta is one of the "greenest" cities in America, with more tree cover than almost any other major U.S. city. Here are the parks you shouldn't miss.

Piedmont Park

The city's most iconic green space, spanning 189 acres in Midtown. Trails, dog parks, playgrounds, sports fields, and stunning skyline views.

Atlanta BeltLine

A 22-mile loop of multi-use trails connecting dozens of neighborhoods, parks, restaurants, and public art installations. Best explored by bike or on foot.

Centennial Olympic Park

Downtown's anchor park, built for the 1996 Summer Olympics. The interactive Fountain of Rings is free for all ages.

Atlanta Botanical Garden

Adjacent to Piedmont Park, with 30 themed acres including a tropical conservatory, canopy walk, and seasonal garden art installations.

Stone Mountain Park

16 miles east of downtown, with hiking, cable cars, a lake, and Atlanta's most dramatic natural landmark.
