Reviews
It was my 1st time attending at the collegedale Commons. We attended here for the lunar Chinese New Year event. You can tell the gardening was upkept, the place was well maintained and clean. However the event we attended, was way too popular for a venue of this size and the crowd was elbow to elbow. A lot of it had to do with weather so a lot of the events were moved inside so little room for crowds. Despite that, I can still see myself coming back to this place for other events in the future as well based on how nice it was. I would also like to add that there was plenty of parking
We come here often for walks. It is a beautiful, safe, and clean area. Lots of people around at throughout the Greenway, Veteran’s Park, the playground, and around the new little debbie park.
My husband and I attend The Freedom Festival each July. In 2024, our 3 grown adult children played in the East Tennessee Symphony and Orchestra, as they have in years past. This year, one of the world’s top pianists performed his Rhapsody In Red, White and Blue (debuting this piece in Chattanooga, TN) on a gorgeous Stienway Grand Piano. What a gorgeous musical event complete with food trucks, vendors, music and a lovely fireworks display!!! Thank you for bringing this event to Collegedale year after year!!!
Love it. Was a very nice place to let your little one’s get some energy out at. Enjoyed all the different play items for kids that different from other Parks. I do Like to see more Little Debbie products on display.
Really enjoyed the Little Debbie Park. Lots of happy kids and pups as well. Nicely paved walking paths and cool little statues for some pics.
Nice shaded picnic areas, clean bathrooms, and pup as well as human water fountains. Cool little zip line for the kiddos and wished I would have taken a video. Oh well, next time..
