Enjoy fresh air and green space in and out of the city

Find out why ATL is called the city in the forest. Lush parks and green spaces create a wide canopy of trees spanning the city, a literal urban oasis.

Thanks to all the outdoor opportunities in the area, you can choose your own level of nature-based relaxation or exhilaration. Take it easy and enjoy a family picnic in grassy Piedmont Park. Take a stroll through Atlanta Botanical Garden. Get active and immerse yourself in public art along Atlanta BeltLine. Test your might and climb to the top of Stone Mountain to catch a laser light show.

Wherever your outdoor excursion takes you, Atlanta will no doubt surprise and amaze you.
