Climbing to new heights and taking risks are what Outdoor Chattanooga hopes to bring to the Chattanooga, Tenn., region.

Outdoor Chattanooga provides free and low-cost adventures to residents by reintroducing them to the joys of nature. The agency, a division within the Chattanooga Parks and Recreation Department, provides information and services promoting the use of natural resources and recreational opportunities, according to Philip Grymes, executive director of Outdoor Chattanooga.

So when planning started for the new Outdoor Chattanooga Center in Coolidge Park, a climbing wall was at the top of the list--a natural fit for promoting fitness and fun.
