Freedom Park

Freedom Park is a 200-acre greenspace with trails that hold vast amounts of history and act as a connector for many of Atlanta's oldest intown neighborhoods. Legend has it that Gemeral Sherman watch Atlanta burn in 1864 from [what is today] Freedom Park. Today, visitors to the park can take in stunning views of the Atlanta skyline and public art along the paved multiuse trail. The park pays homage to the legacy of Atlanta's civil rights legends Martin Luther King, Jr. and John Lewis and is also home to the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library and Museum.
