Looks like the Stone Mountain Park is HUGE. Where are the games held in there?

In the Meadow on the right side of the park - it is off to the side of the mountian .
But yes the park it self is huge and there is alot to do at the games and the park .
-When you look at the map of the park , you will see a park off to the right hand side
that is where the games are

If this is your first time at the games , then look at the map and plan your weekend.
the park is one big circle but it can be alot to look at in one day.
We will go to the games in the day and check out the park in the evening .
You got to check out the Old mill - great picture taking place.
And the Laser show lawn will fill up quick -but if it is your first show it is worth the crowd .
All this and more just for the cost of the games ticket (not bad )

But be adviced not every one at the park is there for the games , they may look at you \
funny -dont mind that just have a great time , we will see you there .

Your right , and all the way from Cal , wow . just to let you know
the games arm band does allow you full Awesome acess to the park
you can leave the games and go right in the park and do all the things you see on the web
site .I have went the last 4 years and never had to pay for any thing other then the
Park gate parking pass of $ 10.00 (per car ) per day and the game ticket of $ 17.00 each
Person . The plation is nice and if you have kids the sky hike and the water ducks are a nice cooling off time , the 4 D therther is Air conditioned .
Oh side note , it cost ALOT to eat athe park I mean ALOT $$ so may want to pack a dinner .

I dont mean to raddle on about this , But it is my favorite game

Sorry to be so long in getting back here; been out of town and attending to work.

We can meet at the Celtic Tavern anytime, but I'll be there by 6:00 or so. I've warned Greg, the owner, that we'd be invading and probablyl reiving cattle and such, so he's looking forward to us. I really hope everyone will give it a shot since it's such a nice, low-key place to meet and talk, stand in the street, tell lies, and oggle women. Drinking is not required by any means, but it's certainly encouraged.

Go here for a good idea of the place and other information. http://conyersceltictavern.com/

For those of you unfamiliar with the park, and planning to drive, a quick note for your sanity. The map which is linked from this thread is for some unknown and relatively inexplicable reason totally reversed. Note the compass rose in the upper left corner - north is down, south up; east is left and west right. The Stone Mountain Freeway, Highway 78 shown at the bottom, runs above, north of the mountain. The meadow is between the main entrance off 78 and the West Gate. Coming in the main gate, Jefferson Davis Drive t-bones Robert E. Lee Boulevard, bear right. It will become obvious where to turn right to park and enter the Games. The Meadow is north of the mountain. If you pull up the park on Google maps, you can see it correctly. If you're familiar with the area, you may find smoother sailing entering at the West Gate.
