	Centennial Olympic Park \| Museum/Attraction Review \| Atlanta \| Frommers.com
		Centennial Olympic Park, one of the most enduring legacies of the 1996 Olympic Games, is a living monument to the city's memories -- both good and bad -- of that seminal event.
		If you're visiting the park on your own, and not coming for a specific event, your first stop should be the visitor center on International Boulevard, in the southwest corner of the park, across from the CNN Center.
		The best part of the park is the fountain and its 251 water jets in the shape of the five interlocking Olympic rings.

		Locals would laugh if their children suggested they drive out to COP in the heat of the summer when gas is high so they can run through the water that acts like a sprinkler gone wild.
