Please don't be put off by the tacky nature of some of the 'attractions' in the surrounding park; the park itself is an attractively wooded area and the summit of the mountain is just about the most stunning view in the Atlanta area.
The park's signature event is a stunning display of light and color, projected onto the main face of the mountain after dark. The show is free with your entrance to the park, but be sure to grab your seat on the lawn before they're all gone.
