The Tennessee Riverpark


Like a strand of valuable pearls, the Tennessee Riverpark stretches along the river near Chattanooga. Many Chattanoogans have to a part of this park without ever realizing the extent of it.

From the Chickamauga Dam to Ross's Landing downtown, there is a single connected wide pathway suitable for walking, jogging or biking. Though it passes totally unique play grounds (Riverpoint), amazing views of the river, and many pavilions, the largest play area located in the Riverpark is here at the Fishing Park.
PICNIC? yes
SWIMSUIT? no
COST? none
PLAYGROUND? yes
AUTHOR'S RATING? five out of five stars!

Along with having a large older kid play structure and a smaller toddler play structure on rock/pebble base, the Fishing Park part of Riverpark is a great place for biking and picnicking.

The large pavilion houses bathrooms.




There are four pavilions available for rent in the Riverpark. Find availability and price HERE.

The picnic tables are on a first come first serve basis and are scattered throughout the park. Some even have grills alongside!

Though the park is a gem in itself, the views of the river dominate with their beauty and serenity. We had fun throwing pebbles off one of the fishing docks, watching the boats pass by and navigating the slippery rocks down below the dock.
