Athens and UGA
Sports and Outdoors
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.
There are plenty of things to do outdoors in Athens. We've got 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.
Check out our Athens outdoor attractions and sports listings, and explore more below!
