Atlanta’s largest city park, Piedmont Park features bike trails, jogging paths, playgrounds, recreation fields, and more. Take a history walking tour, then cool down in the giant aquatic center featuring a pool, lap lanes, and splash pad.

Right next to the park, the Atlanta Botanical Garden features 30 acres of themed gardens including a rose garden, edible garden, and a Japanese garden. Plus, with rotating exhibits throughout the year you’re bound to see something unique.

Venture north to Stone Mountain Park for the best views of the Atlanta skyline. Hike the 1-mile trek or take the high-speed cable car up to the top where, on a haze-free day, you can see for 60 miles. Then head to Stone Mountain Lake to cast a line for bass, catfish, and more.

Try zip lining, hiking, or canoeing at Chattahoochee Nature Center. Learn about the local wildlife on the Wildlife Walk, see majestic resident owls, and get hands-on with the Nature Exchange program.

The Atlanta BeltLine is a former railway corridor that has been repurposed for miles of multi-use trails making for a great way to enjoy a city hike or bike.

You can find several parks along the BeltLine. Wander greenspaces like Boulevard Crossing Park, then work up a sweat at the Historic Fourth Ward Skatepark and playground.

With all of that exploring, you’re bound to work up an appetite. Check out THE ROOF at Ponce City Market for gorgeous city views and delectable eats.

For the ultimate in al fresco dining, Park Tavern in Piedmont Park serves up views of the massive greenspace along with an eclectic menu.
