Camp Jordan Park and Arena

The kids and I were at Camp Jordan for a 5k Color Run and festival on Saturday and we were surprised to see some big changes. There is one of the most interesting play structures I've seen on the far side of the park right next to a new restroom. (Hooray for lots of restrooms in large parks!)
When you add that play structure to big open fields, a 2 mile hiking path, a huge event arena, a picnic pavilion, a fishing/duck pond, and a disc golf course (coming soon) you get what I would say is a major force in the Play Chattanooga world!
PICNIC? yes! 
SWIMSUIT? maybe, when the weather is right and you don't mind your kids wading in a muddy creek
COST? none
