Portion of Centennial Olympic Park re-opens

ATLANTA - Part of the storm-damaged Centennial Olympic Park is now open to the public after being closed a week for cleanup and repair.

The north portion of the park, spanning from Andrew Young International Boulevard to the Georgia Aquarium, opened Saturday. A March 14 tornado ripped through downtown Atlanta, downing trees and scattering debris across the park and other parts of the city's core.

Park officials hope to open the rest of the park by the end of the week.

The Georgia Dome held its first event since the tornado. Tens of thousands attended an Easter service there Sunday morning.
