Explore the Beltline – CSOA’s Summer Bucket List

CSOA continues with our Summer Bucket List and next up for Week 9 is the Atlanta Beltline.
Anyone in Atlanta has heard of, and most likely visited some part of, the Atlanta Beltline.  According to their website, The Atlanta BeltLine is the most comprehensive transportation and economic development effort ever undertaken in the City of Atlanta and among the largest, most wide-ranging urban redevelopment programs currently underway in the United States.

Sound overwhelming?  Don’t worry, CSOA has taken some of our favorite activities and spots and come up with your ultimate must do’s for the Atlanta Beltline!

What is the Beltline: 

The Atlanta BeltLine is a planned loop of 22 miles of modern streetcar (an expansion of the Atlanta Streetcar), 33 miles of multi-use trail, and 2,000 acres of parks. It will open in phases through the anticipated completion in 2030.  Learn more at www.beltline.org.
