| COOLIDGE PARK CAROUSEL |
| Chattanooga, TN |
 |
| The wonderful pavilion that houses the carousel.... |
 |
| ...and a close look at the windvane on the top. |
 |
| A view of the fun play fountain located beside the pavilion. The statues are animal figures that randomly spray water from their mouths, in addition to the ever-changing jets in the center. |
 |
| And here are some of the hand-carved figures themselves! Each one has a name and a story, which the attendants are happy to tell the riders. Many are styled after Dentzel figures,but with creative new twists, such as the cat which holds a slipper in its mouth, seen to the left--and there is a neat extra surprise carved into the slipper itself! |
 |
| Other figures are quite original, such as the fearsome leaping tiger to the right.... |
 |
| Or this cool giant fish, above! |
 |
| Here is another variation on the Dentzel cat design, which we particularly like. |
