Lake Lanier Olympic Tower gets a refresh.

Lake Lanier Olympic Park is showing off some new color. The tower, across the street from The Boathouse received a new coat of paint for the first time in 10 years. The refresh is coming just in time for the upcoming May 2026 NCAA Women’s Rowing National Championship. The updated design gives a nod to the 1996 Olympic Games and the colors are from those used in the park’s logo. The design was created by local artist Chad Shore in collaboration with Lake Lanier Olympic Park staff.
