 Historic Mansion |
980 Briarcliff Road NE Atlanta, GA 30305 United States +1 404 872 5338 http://www.callanwolde.org |
This Gothic-Tudor mansion was built in 1920 as a home for Coca-Cola founder Asa Candler's oldest son, Howard. The 27,000-square-foot expanse features several great halls that wing out to surround an interior courtyard. Stained glass, ceiling and fireplace carvings, and a 3,752-pipe Aeolian organ are among the wonders that comprise this gem of historic Atlanta architecture. Now home to a fine arts center, Callanwolde and its gardens are open daily and are free to the public, except during special events. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Recreation in the city |
At McClendon and Candler Park Drive Atlanta, GA 30307 United States +1 404 347 9325 http://www.candlerpark.org |
A Civil War landmark as well as an expansive in-town green, Candler Park offers tennis courts, basketball courts, soccer fields, and an outdoor pool. Perhaps the park's most unique feature is its nine-hole golf course that winds its scenic way through one of the East side's most pleasant residential neighborhoods. Often crowded, Candler Park is not the ideal place for a quiet jog, but sports are always being played and everyone is welcome. Review © 2007, Wcities |

In town recreation area |
Corner of North Avenue and Freedom Parkway Atlanta, GA 30306 United States +1 404 875 7284 |
Although not the most glamorous of Atlanta parks, Freedom Park offers an In town escape for joggers, runners and cyclists. The wide recreation trail is part of the PATH program that leads from the Carter Center to Stone Mountain, and a recent expansion of the trail has added considerable lawn space and smooth concrete for roller bladers and bikers alike. For history lovers, the Carter Center and the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historical Site both abut the park. Review © 2007, Wcities |
