Athens and UGA
Sports and Recreation
Play with the Big Dogs
Athens is known as one of the top college sports towns in America. But, did you know that admission to most UGA sports is free? Free to low-cost tickets plus wonderful promotions and activities for fans makes a UGA sports outing one of the best family days around.
Athens also offers an extensive selection of natural resources, parks and recreational activities. Take a walk (or hike, or climb, or kayak) that's a bit off the beaten path.
