Guest post by Elizabeth Warden, STC Atlanta. When you think of a busy city like Atlanta, “beautiful parks” is probably the last thing that comes to mind. But Atlanta, although one of the most populated cities in the country, has gorgeous green space. Less than a mile from the Hyatt Regency Hotel is the well-known Centennial Olympic Park. The park was built for the 1996 Olympic Games and has been a beautiful addition to the city ever since. At the Park, be sure to watch the Fountain of Rings—the world’s largest interactive fountain, which features the Olympic Ring symbol. For more information about Centennial Olympic Park, including where to grab lunch and a schedule of the Fountain of Rings, visit the website. Another popular and beautiful park in Atlanta is Piedmont Park. From bocce courts to playgrounds to a farmer’s market to paved paths great for running, biking and roller blading, there is something for everyone at Piedmont Park. Take a quick trip on MARTA (just three stops from the Hyatt Regency Hotel) to relax and grab a bite to eat at one of the many restaurants within a block of the Park.
