Review & FAQ:

Located on River Street on Chattanooga’s North Shore, Coolidge Park is a popular waterfront park with open spaces, pleasant views of the Tennessee River, and the largest pedestrian bridge in the world: the Walnut Street Bridge.

The park is part of the Tennessee Riverwalk: this is a 15 mile long greenway that runs along the Tennessee River from the Chickamauga Dam to the Southern Belle Riverboat.

One of the most well-known features of the park is the historic carousel, a 100 year old carousel that has been restored. Children enjoy riding on the tigers, horses, and other animals. There is also an interactive water fountain and a rock climbing area.
