Centennial Olympic Park, Atlanta, Georgia, United States, North America
Centennial Olympic Park is a 21-acre (85,000 m2) public park located in downtown Atlanta, Georgia owned and operated by the Georgia World Congress Center Authority. It was built by the Atlanta Committee for the Olympic Games as part of the infrastructure improvements for the 1996 Summer Olympics. It plays host to millions of visitors a year and several events, including a summer popular music concert series and an annual Independence Day concert and fireworks display. The park property was previously a variety of vacant lots and abandoned or run-down industrial buildings. ACOG's chief executive, Billy Payne, conceived it as both a central gathering location for visitors and spectators during the Olympics and as a lasting legacy for the city. With the park being the showcase to the world during the Olympics, ACOG decided to hold a design competition to lay out and build the park. Architect EDAW, with the construction and design firm H.J. Russell & Company entry, was selected as the winning design for the park by ACOG. Centennial Olympic Park was constructed in two phases. Phase I of construction was completed July 1996, just in time for 1996 Olympic Summer Games at a cost of US$28 million. During the Olympics, the park contained sponsor exhibits, hosted entertainment and medal presentations, and was a hotbed for pin trading. Phase II construction took place shortly after the Olympics were over and was completed during the following year, in 1998, at the cost of US$15 million. The celebrations in the park were marred by the July 27 bombing which killed two people (one from a heart attack) and injured one hundred eleven others. Security at the park and at all sporting venues was subsequently raised to include bag searches and metal detectors at all entrances. The bombing site is adjacent to the Park's Centennial Tree. It was closed shortly after the Olympics for renovations (including installation of grass) until spring 1998. On March 14, 2008, the park sustained minor damage when a tornado tore through downtown Atlanta. Two of the 65-foot-tall light towers were blown down. It was the first tornado to hit the downtown area since weather record keeping began in the 1880s. On July 16, 2016 Centennial Olympic Park hosted the 20th Anniversary Celebrations of 1996 Olympic Games. Organized by GWCCA (Georgia Would Congress Center Authority) the event included fireworks, live entertainment, food trucks, concessions, Olympic and Paralympic volunteer reunion. The 20th Anniversary Celebrations of 1996 Olympic Games served as the first official reunion for the 1996 Olympic and Paralympic Athletes, stakeholders, volunteers, and staff since there was no reunion organized for the 10th anniversary. Also on July 16, 2016 the GWCCA announced to the public that, In honor of the park's 20th anniversary, the Georgia General Assembly, the private sector, and philanthropic community will come together and raised funds for improvements and projects in Centennial Olympic Park. The construction improvements project will take place in two phases. Phase One officially began during the month of March 2017 and is expected to be finished by January 2018. Phase two construction is expected to start sometime during the month of February 2018. All construction improvement projects within the park are predicted to be completed by 2019. The park is surrounded by many major Atlanta Landmarks; the Georgia World Congress Center, College Football Hall of Fame, Philips Arena, the CNN Center, and Mercedes-Benz Stadium are all on the west side of the park and the Georgia Aquarium, National Center for Civil and Human Rights, and the World of Coca-Cola on the north side of the park. It is bounded by Marietta Street to the west, Baker Street to the north and Centennial Olympic Park Drive to the east and south. Andrew Young International Boulevard, named for the former Atlanta mayor and United Nations ambassador, runs through the southern portion of the park. Since 2008, the area around the park has been marketed, and increasingly referred to in the press, as the Luckie Marietta District. The Atlanta Streetcar will pass along the east side of the park, with a stop for the park on Centennial Olympic Drive.

USA: ATLANTA: Olympic Centennial Park Bomb Explosion - 1996
On July 27, 1996, terror struck the Atlanta Olympics as a pipe bomb exploded at Centennial Olympic Park, directly killing one person and injuring 111. (Anti-government extremist Eric Rudolph later pleaded guilty to the bombing, exonerating security guard Richard Jewell, who had been wrongly suspected.)
Storyline:
Terrorism struck the Olympics for the first time since Munich in 1972 as a pipe bomb exploded Saturday in the heart of Atlanta killing two people and wounding more than 100.
But the organisers were determined the tragedy would not stop the games from going ahead.
Security was extremely tight but the athletes and thousands of spectators arrived at the stadium for the day's events.
It was the headline no-one wanted to read.
The bomb which blew apart Centennial Olympic park at a free concert was dominating everyone's thoughts.
The International Olympic Committee ordered all flags to be flown at half mast in a show of respect for the dead.
But they were adamant to continue with the games schedule despite the tragedy.
SOUNDBITE:
First of all, the games will go on, I repeat, the games will go on.
SUPER CAPTION: Francois Carrard, Director General, IOC
Security officials and athletes were the first to arrive at the Olympic stadium.
Security was very tight and the atmosphere was grim but determined.
SOUNDBITE:
I feel pretty sorry for all the people that were in the accident, but I'll just have to remember this Olympics with their sorrow and their unhappiness.
SUPER CAPTION: Alejandro Carrizo, Swimmer, Venezuela
The bomb attack at a pop concert in Centennial Park was the first incidence of terrorism to hit the Olympics since the Munich Massacre of 1972.
11 Israeli athletes were killed by an Arab guerilla group called 'Black September'.
Saturday morning's attack served as a stark reminder.
SOUNDBITE:
Well, I just couldn't believe it in the beginning and yeah, I thought about 1972 in Munich, the Israelis and it's happening again, so...
SUPER CAPTION: Dennis Runbeek, Swimmer, Holland
As the news spread through the Olympic village, everyone was concerned for the safety of their own competitors.
SOUNDBITE:
I even called the manager of the US diving team and you know I said 'Don't alarm anybody', you know, just, 'Did you hear anything?' and, you know, just out of concern to make sure the entire team was safe, and they were safe.
SUPER CAPTION: Greg Louganis, Former US Olympic Swimmer
Once the news spread that the I-O-C was proceeding as normal, thousands of people arrived to watch the day's sporting events.
But many of the spectators were undeterred by the act of terrorism on their doorstep.
SOUNDBITE:
So I'm not really very much concerned about it. I can't live my life worried about what's going to happen every day.
SUPER CAPTION: Geoff Carter, Voxpop
SOUNDBITE:
I don't think it's a big deal, I think it could happen almost anywhere. It's a great city , I still think the rest of the Olympics are going to go without any incident at all.
SUPER CAPTION: Tom Brennan, Voxpop
The Mayor of Atlanta, Bill Campbell, has said security procedures are being reviewed in the wake of the Centennial Park bombing.
But he says he's still stunned by the act of terror.
SOUNDBITE:
Well obviously I'm heartbroken and grief-stricken for the families of the victims. I don't know how you can ever adequately convey the depth of grief that all of us here feel. We have prepared for these games for six years, we have literally been having an unbelievable celebration of people from all around the world and to have this long dark shadow cast upon this joy, and to have victims of this terrorist bombing, it's incomprehensible.
SUPER CAPTION: Bill Campbell, Mayor of Atlanta
Whatever sporting triumphs the Atlanta Olympics brings, the 1996 games will now inevitably be remembered for the terror attack in the park.

Centennial Olympic Park - History
Less than two decades ago, Centennial Olympic Park's neighborhood was a run-down part of town. That all began to change on the day Atlanta Committee for the Olympic Games CEO Billy Payne gazed out his office window and a brilliant inspiration came to him - to convert a multi-block eyesore into a glorious gathering spot for visitors and residents to enjoy during the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games and for years to come.
Atlanta responded to that vision with tremendous support. The estimated $75 million in development costs came entirely from private-sector donations - contributions in the form of commemorative bricks, funds raised by the Metro Atlanta Chamber of Commerce and local philanthropic foundation grants.
This community support, coupled with the willingness of the State of Georgia to take the lead in the Park's development and to assume ownership after the Games, transformed a dream into a grand reality - Centennial Olympic Park.
Following the Olympic Games, a large portion of the park was closed and redesigned for daily public use. A gala commemoration weekend in March 1998 introduced the newly landscaped Park and its expanded amenities.
Today, this unique 21-acre park performs a dual mission: it serves as Georgia's lasting legacy of the Centennial Olympic Games and it anchors efforts to revitalize residential and commercial development in Georgia's capital city of Atlanta.
The Georgia World Congress Center Authority has operational responsibility for Centennial Olympic Park, as well as the Georgia Dome and Georgia World Congress Center.
The Park sponsors community-wide free events, including the Fourth of July Celebration, Wednesday Wind Down concert series and Fourth Saturday Family Fun Days. The Park also hosts festivals, fundraisers and private events. These events, in addition to the normal day-to-day traffic, bring an estimated three million visitors to this urban oasis each year.

Visité el centro de Atlanta y fui al Centennial Olympic Park
(Parque Olímpico del Centenario), un lugar que no debes perderte cuando visites Atlanta por su belleza.
Centennial Olympic Park es un parque público de 21 acres (85,000 m2) ubicado en el centro de Atlanta, Georgia. US, propiedad y operado por la Autoridad del Centro de Congresos Mundiales de Georgia. Fue construido por el Comité de Atlanta para los Juegos Olímpicos (ACOG) como parte de las mejoras de infraestructuras para las Olimpiadas de Verano de 1996. Alberga a millones de visitantes al año y varios eventos, incluyendo la celebración del dia de la independencia y una exhibición de fuegos artificiales.
Billy Payne, lo concibió como un lugar central de reunión para visitantes y espectadores durante los Juegos Olímpicos y como un legado duradero para la ciudad. Con el parque siendo el escaparate del mundo durante los Juegos Olímpicos, ACOG decidió celebrar una competencia de diseño para diseñar y construir el parque. El arquitecto EDAW, con la firma de construcción y diseño H.J. Russell & Company entry, fue seleccionado como el diseño ganador para el parque por ACOG. Centennial Olympic Park fue construido en dos fases. La Fase 1 de la construcción se completó en julio de 1996, justo a tiempo para los Juegos Olímpicos de Verano de 1996 a un costo de $70 millones de dolares.
El Fountain Ring Plaza es un popular lugar de reunión en el parque de 21 acres donde las familias llevan picnics y miran el espectáculo fuente de los rines, que se realiza cuatro veces al día.
¿Sabías que cada anillo olímpico en la fuente tiene 25 pies de ancho? Eso es lo suficientemente grande como para aparcar cómodamente dos automóviles uno al lado del otro dentro de cada anillo. La altura del agua durante el funcionamiento normal de la fuente es de 4 a 12 pies. Durante el show de la fuente de los rines, las alturas de chorros de agua pueden alcanzar de 15 a 25 pies. La fuente está libre de riesgo para los niños que juegan durante el espectáculos para mantenerlos a salvo de la poderosa fuerza de los chorros de agua. Durante el espectáculo de 8 a 10 minutos, el agua tiene corografia con música. Las canciones van desde Circle of Life de The Lion King hasta el estándar jazz Fly Me To The Moon. Por la noche, la fuente se transforma en una colorida pantalla luminosa.
