Woodruff Park

Why go

A walk through Woodruff Park gives Downtown's dense blocks a change of pace. Seek out the fountains, pavilion and chess court, then look for the phoenix sculpture that recalls Atlanta's rebuilding after the Civil War. The park also works as a clear endpoint for a walk through Fairlie-Poplar from Centennial Olympic Park.

What to look for

• Two fountains and a pavilion break up the park's open space.
• The chess court is a distinctive feature of this downtown park.
• The phoenix sculpture refers to Atlanta's recovery after the Civil War.

Useful to know

• Use the park as a pause on a Downtown walk rather than a full outing by itself.
• Continue through Fairlie-Poplar toward Centennial Olympic Park for a contrast in city spaces.
