For Outdoor Enthusiasts
Exploring Georgia’s Green Spaces
As a Wellstar resident or fellow, we’ll keep you working hard. But when it’s time to rest and recoup, our sunny, mild weather makes it easy to get some fresh air.
A strong biking community, we consider cycling a main form of transportation in Marietta. You’ll also be close to Atlanta’s BeltLine, a 22-mile multiuse trail that circles beautiful downtown Atlanta.
An outdoor enthusiast’s dream, we’re home to countless parks and green spaces. If camping, hiking, or rock climbing is your thing, you can find just the right spot in the North Georgia mountains. Or, if you’re happiest on the water, raft, paddleboard, or fish the beautiful Chattahoochee River.

Whether you like to sit on the sidelines or be the first one on the field, Atlanta is a sports-loving town.
You can enjoy our many professional teams by taking in a Braves, Hawks, or Falcons game or support a number of collegiate sports from Georgia State women’s basketball to Georgia Tech football.
