Imagine a dream for a signature park in the heart of Chattanooga.

It was a dream more than a century ago for Montague Park - where last week, a plan was unveiled to reimagine that dream for this century.

Among the features of what is known as “A Unifying Vision for Montague Park”:

  • a renewed Sculpture Fields, with 25 locations for new sculpture acquisitions; 
  • expanded facilities for the Chattanooga Football Club Foundation; 
  • The Heart - a new space in the park center; 
  • The Community Front Porch, a new main entrance and “civic edge” along Polk Street;
  • and improvements throughout the site:  a pedestrian path and trail network, multi-modal paths along streets beyond the park; native plants; stormwater management; new parking and furnishings.
