5 of the Best Activities at Piedmont Park in Atlanta

Enjoy the Scenery

Piedmont Park stretches over 200 acres, and every single one is full of beauty. It doesn’t matter what time of year you decide to visit — the park is stunning during all seasons. Immerse yourself in vibrant fall foliage, witness the snow-capped trees in wintertime, watch wildflowers bloom in the spring, or soak up some sun as the rays glisten throughout the park in summer. Consider taking a stroll for some fresh air and exercise or plan a romantic picnic with your special someone!

Browse Local Wares

If you’ve never heard of the Green Market at Piedmont Park, it’s time to check it out! Access Atlanta named it one of the top five farmers markets in Atlanta. Local farmers, artisans, and vendors set up shop every Saturday from the end of March to November — rain or shine — and you’re welcome to see what they have to offer. Expect plenty of unique and eye-catching items like seasonal flower bouquets, jewelry, artwork, and fresh produce. Pick up a gift for a friend back home, and don’t forget to treat yourself to something special as well!

Go for a Swim

Many people immediately notice the beauty of Lake Clara Meer in the heart of the park. However, you might not be aware that Piedmont Park is also home to an Aquatic Center and swimming pool. They are especially hot commodities once summer rolls around and the warm sun beats down on the city. You’re welcome to rest and cool off by the Legacy Fountain Splash Pad or take a dip in the public pool with four lanes, concessions, and a beautiful deck overlooking it all. 

Local tip: You don’t have to be a resident and dish out the full amount of money for a season pass. Feel free to take advantage of Piedmont Park’s pool for a one-time access fee of only $5!

The public pool and fountains aren’t the only reasons to check out this gorgeous green space in the summertime. It’s also primetime to attend some of the remarkable Midtown events that Piedmont Park hosts! Whether you’re into music or artwork, there’s a summer festival for you. (There are even several celebrations to attend year-round!)

Plus, Piedmont Park is the ideal venue for it all with plenty of space for festivities and attendees. When you’re not dancing to your favorite bands on the pop-up stages, you can grab a spot under a shady tree and rest up for more celebrating!
