2026 Fall DOC - Chattanooga Parks and Outdoors - Hammock Structure Construction

Calendar Happens On Sep 18, 2026
Time 9 am - 12 pm

Description

Get ready to make a tangible difference in our city's parks! This Day of Caring, we're embarking on an exciting project: building brand new A-frame pavilions for everyone to enjoy. Imagine park-goers relaxing in their hammocks, strung up beneath structures you helped create – that's the impact you can have!

We need six teams of 4-5 dedicated volunteers to bring these pavilions to life. Don't worry about cutting wood; our staff will have all the pieces pre-cut and ready to go. Your role will be the assembly, transforming pre-fab materials into fabulous new park amenities.

Here's what you need to know:

What we're building: A-frame structures for hammocks in city parks.

Your role: Assembling pre-cut wooden components.
Where to park: In the gravel lot in front of the park (in the red circle). Secondary parking by the road (in the yellow square).

Project location: Concrete pad in the center of the park.

What to bring: Your own reusable water bottle (we'll have water available too!), closed-toed shoes, and a can-do attitude! If you have the following tools, feel free to bring them with you! The City of Chattanooga does not allow volunteers to use city-owned power tools and ladders. 

- Cordless hammer drill with T-25 star bit

- 6' ladder

- 3/4" open ended socket

- Hammer


Join us for a rewarding day of teamwork and community spirit. Your efforts will provide comfortable and inviting spaces for countless residents to enjoy our beautiful parks for years to come. Let's build something great together!
