The beautiful Camp Jordan Park has a variety of fun and recreational opportunities for people of all ages and lifestyles. “The Pride of East Ridge, Tennessee” is a 275-acre park operated by the East Ridge Parks and Recreation Department. Camp Jordan is one mile off I-75, Exit 1 in Southeast Tennessee and one mile from the Georgia state line. Camp Jordan got its name from a commander, General Paul H. Jordan, who was there when the property was a National Guard training camp. For many years, the land was used as a pasture and farmland. Part of the area was also known as the “Crow Farm”. The City of East Ridge purchased the property in 1975, recognizing a need for a larger recreational facility. Development began in the form of two ball fields in 1978 and has grown into what we know as Camp Jordan Park today; 13 baseball/softball fields, 14 soccer fields, a two-mile paved walking track, 18-hole disc golf course, two kayak launches, two beach volleyball courts, a ropes course and zip line, stocked fishing pond, two picnic pavilions, amphitheater, RV campground and a 30,000 square foot multi-purpose Arena.
