The history of wheels and Piedmont Park dates back to the
nineteenth century. The park was used by the Gentlemen’s
Driving Club, now Piedmont Driving Club, as a place where
their members could escape from bustling Atlanta to take afternoon
rides in their horse and buggies. Times have changed since
the park was closed to traffic in 1983—the wheels you’ll
likely see in the park today are on bikes, rollerblades and
skateboards.
Cycling, rollerblading and skateboarding are only allowed on the main
roadway and the 10th Street Meadow paths. These activities
are not permitted on pedestrian-only paths, stairways, the
lake bridge, grass, or seating areas.

“Rollerblading in Piedmont Park on
the weekend is what I live for. It makes all the stress I go through
at work disappear in
no time.”
— Maggie, age 29
