A Rich History of Centennial Olympic Park
The story of Centennial Olympic Park began in the early 1990s, when Atlanta was chosen to host the Centennial Olympic Games. Built on previously neglected land, the park was designed to serve as the Games’ central gathering place.
- Phase I was completed in 1996 for the Olympics at a cost of $28 million.
- Phase II was finished in 1998 for $15 million, completing the park’s permanent design.
On July 27, 1996, a bombing during the Games shocked the world, killing two people and injuring more than 100. Despite the tragedy, Centennial Olympic Park has endured, evolving into a thriving cultural landmark. Today, it remains the heart of Atlanta’s downtown, welcoming millions of visitors each year.
