Nice park with lots of areas to walk and explore. We did not have children with us, but the kids we observed were having a blast. The wading pool with fountains looked so fun and there is an inside carousel, which we did not see actually running. More

Don't ever pass up an opportunity to ride the carousel -- whatever you age! July 3rd Pops Concert not to be missed. Enjoy the kids playing in the fountain, check out the Delta Queen, walk into Renaissance Park, check out the Chattanooga Theater Center, the Sister City trees, the climbing wall. Take a picnic. More

Great surroundings. Beatiful City Views. My fiance and I have been a few times just to walk and relax before dinner. There are some cute restraunts with local flare near the park we like to eat. Also, did our engagement pictures at the park. More
