🌳 Make plans for Miller Park
What would you like to see at Miller Park in 2025? | Photo provided by River City Co.
Along with heading development projects throughout Chattanooga, River City Co. is known for hosting events for locals to enjoy — think:Rock the Riverfront and Noontunes.
The nonprofit is currently seeking input on what folks would like to see this year at Miller Park, the 1.25-acre green space in the heart of downtown.
For example, maybe you’d visit the park more often if there were more outdoor seating and shaded areas or if you could swing by a food truck or snack kiosk on your lunch break.
From more live music and entertainment options to fitness stations and social games — office workers and neighbors of the park are encouraged to take a short survey to share what opportunities for fun + relaxation they would like to see. River City Co. will use the responses to guide upcoming programming.
Bonus: Organizations or groups interested in hosting an event in the park can inquire via email.
