A steering committee has selected the landscape architecture firm Reed-Hilderbrand to help reimagine Montague Park.

According to a news release from the Chattanooga Design Studio and the city’s parks and outdoors department, the design process will begin in early 2023 and will involve input from residents in nearby neighborhoods and groups that frequently use the space.

Reed-Hildebrand has previously worked on the Buffalo Bayou Gardens in Houston, the Bestoff Sculpture Garden at the New Orleans Museum of Art and the Storm King Art Center in New Windsor, New York.

“Montague Park can and should be a gem in our urban landscape,” Chattanooga Mayor Tim Kelly said in the release. “It has been in Chattanooga’s parks system since the earliest days of our city, so we’re excited to be working with such a respected firm to finally bring it to its full potential.”
