Located adjacent to Truist Park in Cobb County, this mixed-use district offers far more than baseball. It's a year-round hub for dining, shopping, live events, and nightlife that attracts locals and visitors from across the region.

For renters looking to live nearby without being in the middle of the crowds, Link Apartments® Lake Park offers an ideal location in Smyrna. Residents enjoy convenient access to The Battery while coming home to a welcoming community with modern amenities and a quieter atmosphere.

What Is The Battery Atlanta?

The Battery Atlanta is a vibrant entertainment district surrounding Truist Park, home of the Atlanta Braves. Since opening in 2017, it has grown into one of the area's most popular destinations by combining restaurants, retail, office space, hotels, and entertainment venues into one walkable neighborhood.

Unlike a traditional shopping center, The Battery is designed to be experienced on foot. Visitors can spend an entire afternoon browsing stores, enjoying a meal, and attending a concert, then finish the evening with dessert or drinks, all without moving their car.

Throughout the year, the district also hosts seasonal festivals, outdoor fitness classes, holiday celebrations, watch parties, live music, and family-friendly events, so every visit feels a little different.

Restaurants Worth Visiting

One of the biggest reasons people visit The Battery Atlanta is its impressive dining scene.

Sports fans often stop by Sports & Social Atlanta to catch a game on massive screens while enjoying classic American fare in a lively atmosphere. Yard House and Punch Bowl Social are popular gathering spots before and after Braves games, while Antico Pizza Battery serves the same authentic Neapolitan-style pizza that has earned the original Atlanta location national recognition.

With so many restaurants within walking distance, it's easy to try something new on every visit to The Battery Atlanta.

Shopping and Local Favorites

Beyond dining, The Battery features a growing collection of retailers and specialty shops.

Braves fans can browse the Braves Clubhouse Store for official team merchandise and memorabilia, while lifestyle retailers and specialty boutiques offer apparel, gifts, and locally inspired products. Seasonal pop-up shops and community markets add even more variety throughout the year.

Whether you're shopping for game-day gear or searching for a unique gift, The Battery combines the convenience of modern retail with the energy of an entertainment district.

Entertainment Beyond Baseball

Although Braves games are a major attraction, The Battery stays active throughout the year.

Live! at The Battery Atlanta hosts concerts, comedy performances, special events, and watch parties, creating a lively nightlife scene long after baseball season ends. Families can enjoy outdoor green spaces, public art, and interactive events, while couples and groups of friends often spend entire evenings exploring the district's restaurants and entertainment venues.

Because there is always something happening, many Smyrna residents return regularly, not just for special occasions, but for casual dinners, weekend outings, or meeting friends after work.

Why Smyrna Is the Perfect Home Base

The Battery Atlanta has transformed Cobb County into one of metro Atlanta's most exciting destinations, but its appeal is even greater when paired with the convenience of nearby Smyrna. Residents enjoy quick access to entertainment, restaurants, shopping, and Truist Park without giving up the quieter pace and welcoming atmosphere that make Smyrna such a desirable place to live.
