For more information on public transportation to Braves games, see PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION / MARTA.

Last but not least after the game children ages 4-14 can line up on the Hank Aaron Ramp and run the bases just like the players do. I know that people start lining up early so if possible get a group of people together maybe to take shifts staying in line with the kids....this process does take awhile but the children LOVE IT and it is a wonderful experience for them. Also Turner Field takes pictures of the kids doing this that you can purchase at a later date. If anyone has any questions please let me know at [email protected] I look forward to seeing everyone out there....make sure to wear your Braves or Shaw Park gear and let's have lots of fun with our families, friends and Shaw Park family.
