    Renaissance Park is a great public space to walk and get a little nature. Trails, bridges, art installations are all around. Pet friendly too! Just remember to clean up any .....pet deposits. One of the main draws of this park would be the sledding hill. You can bring you snow sled or a large piece of cardboard and give it a try! It's the tallest hill closer to the apartments facing the main atreet. Often there will be cardboard in the hill just waiting to be sled in. Keep in mind the weather can have impact on how fast you'll go. Parking is paid at machines around the park. Don't get a ticket! Renaissance Park is just haven't to Cooliage Park and the Walnut Bride so you can really get your walk in as long as you remember to pay for parking!

    After hiking in Stringers Ridge I walked down here to Renaissance, cut through to Coolidge Park, then walked across the bridge to downtown Chattanooga. If you like walking that's a good one, and will let you see a lot on a beautiful day. Renaissance is more hilly and quiet with less tourists, but the park connects to busier Coolidge. You have various overlooks that allow you views of the wetlands with these structures called Gabions that redirect the water and allow plant life to flourish. They create a really interesting visual.

    One of the few dog friendly parks in Chattanooga, we love the trails and different terrains it offers up for visitors exploring its paths. This park also has plenty of benches, a picnic pavilion, and so many unique features to check out. With it being so close to a variety of dining establishments and shops, it is the perfect location for a picnic when downtown in the Northshore area. *parking is on a few basis, except for on Sundays

    So what does a group of classy, professional 40 year old women do on a girls trip to Chattanooga? Head right to the top of cardboard hill in Renaissance Park and slide down it, of course! I had read the reviews mentioning the slide down and wanted to try it but was a bit apprehensive. It was a little scary at first, I'm not going to lie. But we found some old boxes left behind and after some careful research we let er rip. The best way to go down is on your stomach, down the steepest part. You might get a little grass burn, but the lip will catch you so you don't go flying off to your doom! Fun times to be had for sure. Highly recommend!

    Ask the Community - Renaissance Park

    Can you rent bikes there?

    Yes, there are several spots you can rent bikes and electric bikes too! Most require a credit card and are closer to Coolidge Park. Super close and walkable.

    Excellent spelunking and cave exploring adventure are at Racoon Mountain Cavern and also wonderful…read morecampgrounds. Came here with Troop 513 and our Boy Scouts and adults really enjoyed a truly wonderful and satisfying experience. The cave exploration is definitely an adventure and challenging and pushes you to the limit while being guided by experienced guides. Our cave guides were Tristan and Emily and both were very kind, helpful, and knowledgeable of the cave and their experience definitely made what would have otherwise been a very frustrating and difficult task a fun and truly memorable experience. Tip: you can bring your phone if you aren't afraid to possibly damage or lose it as you will be crawling and squeezing through many parts of the adventure. 5 stars for the cave adventure and 5 stars for the campgrounds. Thank you for all you do for the scouts and making this great experience available to the public!

    The campground is beautiful with the exception of a condemned building, debri lying around, leaves…read morepiled high in the middle of campsites. The staff is unfriendly. The Manager confronted us at our campsite after we complained about a parking issue. She brought 3 staff members to our camper. She instructed one staff member to turn on her body camera after and film us. True story folks! We came to Chattanooga for a race. I would never return. We packed up and left immediately. I felt unsafe at this campground. I do NOT recommend.
