Piedmont Park

On one of the first warm days of the year we decided to go explore Piedmont Park in Atlanta. You could think of Piedmont Park like New York's Central Park. It's a really great area, right in the middle of Atlanta; and it's just a couple blocks from my work!

My building is the one with the two thin points, I heard someone describe it as “the building with Batman ears”, I guess that works.

Kickball leagues were happening. It looked fun.

These awesome stairs lead up into the Botanical Gardens. I bet the park and gardens were totally awesome when they were all opened to each other.

They had this great area for dogs to be off the leash, they had a big and small dog section even. It was totally fun to watch all the dogs interact.

Here are some great views of what the park offers. Plenty of open lawn space, lots of paved walking paths, a couple lakes, and views of the city.

There was even this fun modern park for the little kids play in. I really liked the slide.
We were going to also go to the Botanical Gardens, but they closed early and we spent a lot more time wandering Piedmont Park than we thought. So it’s still on our list.
