City of East Ridge Receives 2026 Community Service Award for Tourism Attraction! π
Last week, the City of East Ridge was honored to have been recognized by the Greater Chattanooga Hospitality Association- GCHA with the 2026 Community Service Award for Tourism Attraction in recognition of the East Ridge Parks and Recreation Department. ππΌ
While Camp Jordan serves as a major destination for sports tourism, outdoor recreation, festivals, and special events, this recognition reflects the broader impact of the East Ridge Parks & Recreation Department and the many ways it serves both residents and visitors throughout the entire community in . π€
From hosting regional tournaments and community events at Camp Jordan Park, to providing year-round programs and services through the East Ridge Community Center, and welcoming guests at the recently opened Venue 1921 at East Ridge, our Parks & Recreation Department continues to enhance quality of life while supporting tourism, economic activity, and community engagement here in our own community every single day!
This award would not be possible without the dedication of our Parks & Recreation staff, the support of Mayor Brian Williams and City Councilmembers, the collaboration of City departments, and the many community partners, volunteers, coaches, organizations, and residents who help make these facilities and programs successful in every way possible.
As we continue investing in our parks, recreation facilities, community programming, and public spaces, we remain committed to creating opportunities that bring people together and showcase all that East Ridge has to offer!
Please join us in congratulating the East Ridge Parks & Recreation Department on this outstanding achievement! ππΌ
Letβs keep moving forward, East Ridge!
