Centennial Olympic Park is a public park located in Atlanta, Georgia owned and operated by the Georgia World Congress Center Authority. The park was built by the Atlanta Committee for the Olympic Games as part of the infrastructure improvements for the Centennial 1996 Summer Olympics. During the 1996 Olympics, the park was part of the marathon route for both the men's and women's race. The park plays host to millions of visitors a year and several events, including a summer popular music concert series and an annual Independence Day concert and fireworks display. (wikipedia)
