Description:
DOWNTOWN. What was once an abandoned shipping yard has been transformed into a beautiful 7-acre oasis in downtown Chattanooga. Take a ride on the vintage carousel – rescued after years of storage in a warehouse and revitalized by students who trained with well-known wood sculptor Bud Ellis – or simply enjoy a picnic on the grassy slopes. From April through October, a fountain cools down the kiddies and their folks, and the pavilion frequently hosts concerts. |
