Chattanooga is North America's first National Park City.

Welcome
What is Chattanooga National Park City?

The Chattanooga we know today exists in large part due to Chattanooga Venture’s multi-decade effort and visioning process. National Park City is committed to casting a new vision for the next 50 years. And re-igniting a spirit of civic entrepreneurship and community-wide collaboration for a new generation eager to help build the best place in the world to live, work and play.

The one thing we want most for ourselves,
our kids and each other:
Quality of life

The most valuable asset we have that can positively impact our quality of life and the future growth of our city and region:
Nature: as part of our everyday life

While not affiliated with the National Park Service, the movement shares the idea that we protect our most precious resources and places not only today but for generations to come. This intends to help our community shape our city around the values that make it so special outlined in the Chattanooga National Park City charter.
