Best of Atlanta: Best Spot to Commune with Nature/Best Park

Piedmont Park Critics, Readers, Consumer Culture

You know that Piedmont Park is Atlanta’s most popular park, but did you know that Booker T. Washington gave a speech right next to the soccer fields? Or that in 1864, Piedmont Park was part of the Civil War’s Battle at Peachtree Creek when that asshole Sherman was attacking? Or that Piedmont Park has served variously as: a farm; a World War I encampment; a driving club; the grounds for the 1895 Cotton States and International Exposition? Now you do.
