Visitors enter Outdoor Chattanooga’s Coolidge Park headquarters seeking something physical to hold and guide them as they get started exploring the area’s recreational offerings.

Phillip Grymes said he sees it regularly.

As executive director of the city’s outdoor programming arm, his staff and their resources are a conduit for tourists and residents drawn by the praise for Chattanooga’s natural playground.

Grymes and his team now have a way to help get those activity seekers started in an outdoor scene that has an intimidating number of possibilities.

The pocket-sized “Ten Chattanooga Outdoor Adventures Guidebook” formulated by the Lyndhurst and Benwood foundations and Friends of Outdoor Chattanooga is hitting kiosks at Outdoor Chattanooga and other spots around the city this month.
