Golden Park

Located in Columbus, Georgia, 108 miles (172 km) southwest of Atlanta, Golden Park will host the first softball competition ever held in the Olympic Games. This historic event will feature only women's competition. The city of Columbus is constructing a new softball complex and river walk area -- located on the banks of the famous Chattahoochee River. ACOG will lease the softball field and associated facilities from the city as the site of the Olympic competition. Athletes and officials will stay at a satellite Olympic Village at Fort Benning, a U.S. Army post near the city.
