I took my 11 and 7 year old boys here when were in Chattanooga. They loved playing in the water. It was a hot day and I even got in the water myself. The park is just beautiful and there was plenty of green space for us to play football. If you go to Chattanooga in the summer, you must... more

This is a very nice park and a great asset to Chattanooga for the locals. We went on a very nice Oct. Thurs. There is a giant indoor Carousel there that only cost .50 a ride. We walked the long pedestrian bridge, but only went about half way. A very nice park ! more

We loved this park!! We took four of our grandchildren to the park and stayed several hours. They loved the carousel and we did too!! Can't tell you how long it's been since we rode one, but it's been a while!! We didn't bring suits, so we didn't use the sprayground, although it looked wonderful! We rode the carousel a... more

This is a lovely city, and a great little riverside park. Ignore the reviews about hoodlums - some people see any minorities and flip out. This park was super clean and felt very safe (wouldn't even mention if not for the other reviews). Carousel a nice diversion for all ages. Take the Walnut pedestrian bridge for nice views of the... more

My husband and I rode the water taxi to Coolidge Park on our last day in Chattanooga. It was a great end to a fun stay. The park is very well maintained and we loved people watching while seating on a bench. Although the carousel was closed, we received joy just looking at it through the glass windows (I look... more

My family and I have been to Coolidge Park many times with no problems. My little girls love the fountains on a hot summer day and the whole atmosphere is very lovely and soothing. Most of the time. Unfortunately, when my family was here from Ohio we took them to the park on what apparently was gang appreciation day. Nothing... more

A really great park. This is well worth the time; big kids and little kids will love the carousel - even if that's not usually your sort of thing. The workmanship will just blow you away. And the fountains looked so inviting that it took all we had not to just take a run through them with everyone else! One... more

We took our 4 yeaar old Grandson last year and he enjoyed it so much he wants to go back this year. We went last year for the 4th and we are going back this year for the 4th. All he talks about is going back to CHATTANOOGA. He had rather go to CHATTANOOGA than to the beach.Please try this... more

Coolidge Park is very nice, with its carosel and fountains. It's a great place to ride bikes, walk, throw a frisbee, or just have a picnic. The best part is that it's next to the Walnut Street Bridge, so you can walk or bike there from the other side of the river. more
