Sculpture Fields in Montague Park is a great addition to the Chattanooga, Tennessee community. The sculptures are interesting and allow you to ponder the inspiration of each artist. The grounds are well-kept and overall, Sculpture Field at Montague Park has a great ambiance to it. If you are in the Chattanooga, Tennessee area, I would definitely recommend checking this place out.

Sea lights festival

I went to the sculpture fields for the Sea Light lantern festival. It was really nice, but not quite as pretty as the Asian Lantern Festival at the zoo. I enjoyed many of the lanterns, but the owls were my favorites. They had some interactive pieces where you could take some pictures. There was an act with some Asian jugglers, a clown and a man in Asian dress doing quick mask changes. The mask changes were pretty amazing. There were also vendors offering bao buns and other food, snacks, and drinks, plus kids novelties. Overall it was a fun night.

"We think you got a lot of potential Kit De Luca, don't let anybody tell you any different." The SF@MP has a whole lot going on and even so, this park is worth a stop. It looks to be a repurposing of an industrial wasteland to a sculpture park in a transitional (industrial to residential) neighborhood. There are many meaningful sculptures (~20) found here. The labeled ones (permanent) were thoughtful and it rivals sculpture parks at larger cities. It's really enjoyable to experience a developing park that someones' passion and efforts went into. Yet, there seems to be a disharmonious temporary? fairy fantasy wire framed fabric characters strewn about their permanent pieces. We didn't readily see a list of sculptures nor a map. We walked the park and many sculptures were labeled. Think a posted map of the sculptures at the parking lot would be helpful. When we visited, it was an early Spring. The grounds were in their natural state than manicured grass and the paths were gravel. I recommend wearing a good pair of walking shoes. There were few porta potti at a corner of the parking lot. Overall, while I enjoyed the permanent collection, I found the SF@MP in an identity crisis. Their fabric collection, though it's fun and funky, it took away from the main pieces and was like an amusement park gone extra. Their collection though is one of the best outside of DC and NY on the East. The SF@MP has a lot of potential.

This is a very calm, chill place to walk alone or with family. We were in town for a couple days and just wanted to fill some free time we had. It can be a relaxing walk or interactive with the app that is posted at each sculptures sign.

This place has potential but it's not there yet! Grass is unkept, a lot of random people sleeping in the park area and it really is deserted. If I were visiting alone, I personally would have thought twice about walking the park by myself. Great sculptures but overall just an okay experience.

We were in the area before heading to ruby falls and saw this place on Google maps. Glad that we decided to swing by. The park is quite big as land. Several sculptures were there for you to enjoy walking around and see them. It was only appreciated if you like art which we are.

Enjoyable display. Wear some serious hiking shoes. My regular sneakers had my ankles rolling in the gravel paths. The art is worth the visit. The sport has an openness about it. Dogs are welcome. Be warned that not all dog owners are picking up their poop. The area is being reclaimed and elevated. That said, possibly not safe if you end up here alone. Also, a police break parking lot. Helped make us feel a little more comfortable and relaxed.

We came here on a Saturday late evening May 2022. The word on the street is this land used to be an old dumping ground for junk. But they cleaned it up and now it is a park with art sculptures. I wouldn't come out here during the day as there's no shade but if you came in late evening with a breeze it was actually pretty pleasant to walk around and look at the sculptures. Minus the fire ants! Unfortunately they don't have any information about each sculpture or who did it or why. Just a sculpture sitting in the middle of the field. But I love all types of roadside oddities and this is a must see if you are in the Chattanooga Tennessee area. There is plenty of parking and Renaissance Park on the river is right around the corner also I must see.

This place is one of the hidden gems of Chattanooga. A lovely walk, surrounded by a myriad of sculptures. They also do some pretty cool events here as well, like kite flying events, bonfires and food trucks. The place is well patrolled by the local police dept. The bathrooms are clean and well maintained.

What a nice surprise in the middle of up and coming south district Clean park and amazing sculptures Could not find info on artists by the sculptures would have love a board or something to learn about art and artists More art on the making Easy walk, flat surface

Sculpture Fields is an absolute must see when visiting Chattanooga! With plenty of parking and lots of space to draw move, it's a perfect place for a family (Pets allowed if on leashes) or individuals. You'll be amazed by the various sculptures and ideas the artists put into play while creating. Each sculpture has an "about" so you're able to understand a bit more about the meaning behind it. I recommend going at sunset as you'll have a beautiful view of Lookout Mountain. I'm told that each year they do a sculpture burn! You can checkout their FB page to see when that is. I guarantee I'm gonna be at the next one! I read there are talks of more sculptures so I bet this park will only continue to grow. Can't wait to return!

Sign to the entrance to Sculpture Field is itself a work of art
Robin B.

As Chattanooga grows and expands it's refreshing to find this park maintaining open space on the south side of the city. The field has multiple gravel paths going around and thru the park so you can get up close and admire the many sculptures placed throughout. There's restrooms located adjacent to the parking lot and benches throughout the field to sit and admire the art. A perfect place for a picnic or to stroll. I hope there's a plan to place signs by each sculpture so provide information on each work of art. As of now there were a few signs in the ground but many were gone or hard to read. Sculpture Field is a lovely place to spend tome admiring these larger than life works of art.

Joy S.

I don't know who dreamed up this place, or why, but it must have been someone with a great imagination. Granted, I am not a connoisseur of art. But we stopped by to check out the interesting pieces and it was certainly eye catching. Different large sculptures dot the landscape of this park located in the middle of old industrial buildings. (However in the middle of the day it felt very safe; it is very wide open and there were several other groups walking around or hanging out including a few four legged friends.) I'm sorry I can't elaborate on the history or how the pieces spoke to me, or what some of this stuff even IS, but nonetheless it was a neat stop on a day trip to Chattanooga.

Reviews are largely positive. Many highlight the variety of sculptures and describe a peaceful atmosphere. The park is free and accessible.

We made a whole afternoon…read moreof walking around this part of Chattanooga, stopping at the sculpture garden, having lunch at Tony's, and then heading down to Ross's Landing. The sculpture garden is small, so it's a quick stop as part of your walk. From there, we enjoyed spending time along the river at Ross's Landing. There's nice green grass where you could spread out a blanket and have a picnic. There are also waterfront platforms you can walk out onto, with built-in benches and lounge chairs. Actual solid seating, too--not flimsy chairs someone tossed out there! A really nice place to sit and enjoy the river. There were porta-potties outside during our visit, although it looked like there had recently been an event, so I'm not sure whether those are always available. This is also where we spotted the Southern Belle riverboat and ended up booking a sunset cruise for that evening. We went out for a walk and apparently added a boat ride to the day! A really nice way to spend a sunny afternoon, especially paired with lunch and a little exploring.

Such a beautiful place! The Bluff View Art District is located in a historic neighborhood of…read moreChattanooga, TN, and is noted to be dedicated to the horticultural, visual, and culinary arts. We loved seeing the beautiful architecture of the older buildings, some of which had an old European feel. The old Bluff View Bakery building looked like something magical you may have seen cross the screen of a Harry Potter film. This district was a lovely way to spend an afternoon strolling around the downtown area with our small dog. It has restaurants, cafes, mezzanines, patios, beautiful winding paths, and views of the Tennessee River. This is a more relaxed area of downtown Chattanooga for sure. Depending on when you visit, parking can be limited and difficult to find. Free parking is offered for customers and can be found throughout the district on High St., East Second St. and Spring St. Parking is also available in the middle of the district between Rembrandt's Coffee House and Tony's Pasta Shop. Additional parking can be found at the southern end of the district behind the Bluff View Bakery. In all, visit the Bluff View Art District - you won't regret it!

I have decided to buy my 2-year-old grandson in annual pass so his family can take him here as many times as he wants. There is an area in the section for every age group.

Enjoy my pictures because I don't feel like I can find the words to explain all the awesomeness that is in one building. Have fun kids and caregivers!

I was a little let down. First, admission is pretty hefty. This is an area for kids so I was surprised adult tickets were so expensive. Secondly, not a single hand sanitizer station had any hand sanitizer. We arrived right a 10am when they opened so I was very surprised they were all empty. Thirdly, many of the "buttons" for kids to push didn't work or maybe they weren't suppose to do anything. But I would think if there is a button to push, it should at least make a sound or turn on a light. Lastly, (nothing that the museum can control) but it's hard to fully enjoy the exhibits when parents don't "reset" the area after their child is done playing in it. Parents please be considerate and reset the area when your child is done playing. Better yet teach them to do it themselves along with "taking turns".

The lights on the boats on the water and the stage created a magical inviting ambiance. The music sounded great while we sat perched above the river. The crowd was festive.

It had been pouring rain and let up to a drizzle for long enough to explore! John went off to read historical markers, while Robert and I walked closer towards the bridge. There are deep steps leading down from the roadside towards the waterfront that I imagine could act as an amphitheater. The park runs all the way toward the Southern Belle Riverboat and the Duck Boat tours. Or the opposite direction towards the art museum and sculpture garden. Even on a dreary, rainy day~ this park is beautiful.
