In Short – This centerpiece of Midtown sports spacious lawns, paved pathways, tennis courts, baseball diamonds, two soccer fields, a pool and two ponds--not to mention a postcard view of Midtown's pointed peaks. Framing the scenery on either end of the park are the Atlanta Botanical Garden and Park Tavern. Trivia buffs should note the various statuary and memorials of local history. Piedmont Park is the mecca of outdoor activities in the city proper, and it continues to improve.

Nice park for people watching, go elsewhere for a dog park
by cinnamoncinnamo at Citysearch
It is a great local park for a picnic or group gathering. It's a great place to people watch,too. However, you should be careful of the high number of serious roller bladers. Also some people might describe it as a dog heaven. I don't. The dog park at piedmont tends to have a mixed crew of owners. Some are mindful of their dog's behavior, but there are some that will go into the park with a known aggressive dog, un-neutered dog or dogs in heat. Some people do not watch their dogs while in the park. This can lead to many problems. Case in point--the chow dog that was attacked/killed a couple of months ago in the park. If you love your dog and want to go here, take a taser gun.

Really Great Park
by stephh19 at Citysearch
Piedmont Park is like a little Central Park in Atlanta. There is a really great distance you can run. I also really love the dog park area. The park is always very clean and I always feel very safe running there.

Best Park in the city of Atlanta
by truro1234 at Citysearch
This is a beautiful park for walking/jogging, sightseeing or picknicking. I personally do not like the fact that people allow their dogs to run around without leashers. If you are a dog lover - this is the place to see a fashion show of every breed of dog. There are plenty of benches and green spaces to spread a blanket, sit back, relax and enjoy the sights. If you have young children beware because there are plenty of gay/lesbian couples enjoying the park as well.
