This is a great park near downtown. We come here whenever we visit Chattanooga. Our kids really love the carousel with large hand carved animals. Its indoors and available all year.

Indoor carousel. Water "geysers" for children to run in and out of. Nice way to spend a family day without spending money. Pack a lunch and blanket and enjoy the family and outdoors.

Our granddaughter had a wonderful time playing in the fountain while we had comfortable seating nearby. We disliked having to feed the meter. There is a carousel but the water was more attractive to the grandchild.

The water feature is great during summer months, so the kids can play. The carousel is beautiful & fun year round. Named for local Medal of Honor recipient. Across the river from the aquarium.
