Centennial Olympic Park is a 21 acre (85,000 m²) public park located in downtown Atlanta, Georgia. The park was built by the Atlanta Committee for the Olympic Games (ACOG) as part of the infrastructure improvements for the Centennial 1996 Summer Olympics. ACOG's chief executive, Billy Payne, conceived it as both a central gathering location for visitors and spectators during the Olympics and as a lasting legacy for the city.
The park was the site of the 1996 Centennial Olympic Park bombing which killed two people.
