Benteen Park

A Green Oasis in Southeast Atlanta

Found in southeast Atlanta lies Benteen Park, a popular green space that is the heart of the Benteen Park residential area. This well-kept park functions as a neighborhood gathering place - a spot where kids play freely, and locals escape the urban hustle without leaving their zip code. The clean, welcoming atmosphere makes it an easy spot to spend a few hours unwinding.

What You'll Find

Spread around the park are open grassy areas ideal for throwing a frisbee, having an impromptu picnic, or simply lounging with a good book. If Georgia's notorious summer heat has you seeking refuge, you'll appreciate the mature trees that line parts of the park, offering blessed shade when the sun is doing its worst. And yes, your four-legged friends are welcome here too - making it a favorite spot for neighborhood dog owners to let their pets stretch their legs.

Private Street Art Tour of Atlanta

With over 300 painted walls and multiple mural festivals, Atlanta has a vibrant street art, mural, and graffiti scene featuring murals by international, national, and local artists.

Getting There
