Piedmont Park, Urban park in Midtown Atlanta, US

Piedmont Park is an urban park in the Midtown neighborhood of Atlanta, Georgia, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The place covers 189 acres with maintained lawns, a lake, playgrounds, tennis courts, and a public swimming pool.

The site served in 1895 as the grounds for the Cotton States and International Exposition, a large world's fair that drew nearly 800,000 visitors. After the exposition closed, the area was converted into a public park and expanded gradually over the following decades.

The park's name comes from the Piedmont Exposition Company, headed by Atlanta businessman Charles A. Collier, which used the grounds for fairs in the late 19th century. Today it hosts annual events including the Atlanta Jazz Festival, the Atlanta Dogwood Festival and Atlanta Pride, and a summer film series, Screen on the Green, is shown for local residents.

The park lies about 1 mile (1.6 km) northeast of Downtown Atlanta, between the Midtown and Virginia Highland neighborhoods. A 53-acre extension was begun with a 2008 ground-breaking, and its first phase opened in 2011. The Lake Clara Meer dock and visitors center, covered picnic areas, tennis facilities and two playgrounds serve visitors.

The park's name comes from the Piedmont Exposition Company led by Charles A. Collier, which used the grounds for fairs; the 1887 Piedmont Exposition drew 20,000 visitors on its opening day. The main exhibition building measured 570 by 126 feet and stood two stories high.
