New in the Park for 2006 Season

Centennial Olympic Park recently launched its new website, www.centennialpark.com, designed to give visitors a Park experience while online complete with beauty shots and information about upcoming events. "Our new Web site is more informative, more attractive, and easier to use. It's got everything you need to have before a Park visit, besides the sunscreen," said Mark Banta, the general manager of Centennial Olympic Park.

From neighbors who use the Park as a place to relax, tourists who come to see the most photographed fountain in the United States, or clients who use the Park as a gathering space, the new website is designed to suit the needs of its diverse users. Interactive maps now show where events take place within the Park, and the resource areas of the site have been enhanced significantly. The variety of events the Park hosts, including the weekly concert series "Wednesday WindDown" and "Music @ Noon" schedules are prominently featured.

Along with the new website, the Park is also proud to be the location of new events this year. Star 94 recently hosted Movie Under the Stars, an outdoor movie screening of "March of the Penguins" on North Lawn. Viewers came out with picnics, friends and family to watch the film and enjoy the evening.

Coming up on May 20 and 21 is the Southern Comfort Music Experience (SCMX), a free music festival featuring bands such as The Flaming Lips, Cowboy Mouth, Ozomatli, De La Soul, Big Star and Family Force 5. The event is 21 and over and will be from noon-11 p.m. on Saturday and noon-10 p.m. on Sunday in North Park. SCMX will be traveling the country this summer and it is kicking off the festival in Centennial Olympic Park! For more information visit the newly improved www.centennialpark.com.
