The Beltline
Where some saw old railroad corridors, Atlanta saw 22 miles of opportunity. The city transformed the corridors into five open trails, seven parks and a blank canvas for local art — all while supporting local businesses. Today, the BeltLine connects many of Atlanta's unique neighborhoods.
The Outdoors Are Calling
BREAK A SWEAT
Take a hike on the Northside Trail or break out your mat for King of Pops yoga. Go for a quick run around Grant Park or work on your serve at Candler Park's tennis court.
Work up a sweat with free classes at the Home Depot Backyard and Shed Sweat at Ponce City Market. Whatever your workout style, Atlanta makes it easy.
OR COOL IT DOWN
