Quick Location Snapshot

How to Get to The Battery From Around Atlanta

Because The Battery sits right next to two major interstates, it’s relatively easy to reach from most parts of metro Atlanta—but traffic can be heavy during games and events.

From Downtown Atlanta

• Head north on I-75.
• Continue until you approach the I-285 interchange.
• Look for exits near Cumberland Boulevard / Cobb Parkway (US-41) and follow signs for Truist Park / The Battery Atlanta.
• Once off the interstate, you’ll see multiple signs directing you to parking decks surrounding the stadium and The Battery.

Approximate driving time in normal traffic: 15–25 minutes, but allow more on game days.

From Midtown or Buckhead

• Get onto I-75 North.
• Stay on I-75 past the I-85 split and continue toward the Cumberland area.
• Take the exit for Cumberland Boulevard / Cobb Parkway / Truist Park and follow local signs.

From Midtown: usually 10–20 minutes in light traffic.
From Buckhead (via GA-400 to I-285 or via surface streets to I-75): 15–25 minutes typically.

From the Northern Suburbs (Marietta, Kennesaw, Woodstock)

• Take I-75 South toward Atlanta.
• Exit near Cumberland Boulevard / Cobb Parkway and follow signs to The Battery / Truist Park.

Because you’re approaching from the north, you may find game-day traffic lighter compared to coming from inside the Perimeter, but it can still back up close to the exits.

From the East or West via I-285

• Use I-285 to loop around toward the northwest quadrant.
• Get off near Cobb Parkway (US-41) or I-75 and follow the signs into The Battery area.

This can help you avoid driving straight through Downtown or Midtown if you’re coming from places like Decatur, Tucker, Mableton, or Smyrna.

Getting to The Battery Without Driving

You have a few non-driving options, though The Battery is not directly on MARTA rail.

Using MARTA Rail + Bus or Rideshare

1. Take MARTA rail to a northern station such as:
   • Arts Center Station
   • Midtown Station
   • Lindbergh Center Station
2. From there, you can:
   • Use a rideshare (Uber, Lyft, taxi) to The Battery.
   • Transfer to a CobbLinc bus where available and ride to stops near Cumberland Boulevard / Cobb Parkway, then walk into The Battery area.

Travel time and exact route vary, but many locals combine MARTA + rideshare to avoid stadium-area parking and traffic.

CobbLinc (Cobb County Transit)

Walking or Biking from Nearby Areas

If you live or stay near Cumberland, Cobb Parkway, or nearby hotels and apartments, you may be able to walk into The Battery via Battery Avenue SE, Cobb Parkway, or connected sidewalks.

Biking from farther inside Atlanta is less common because of highway crossings and heavy traffic, but some cyclists do use local roads and multi-use paths in the Cobb area to reach nearby streets, then lock bikes near public racks.
