Knoxville Parks & Gardens

Knoxville’s 4,500 acres of green and open spaces provide peaceful retreats and exciting recreation centers. Breathe in the fresh air with a walk or jog along the lake, skateboard deep bowls and rails, watch for wildlife in a natural area, or read a book under a shady tree. Whatever your outdoor pleasure, there is a perfect park just around the corner.

In addition to all the parks, greenways, and trails listed below, there's a great GET OUT & PLAY GUIDE that uses icons to convey what each outdoor area has to offer. So, if you're looking for a skateboarding area or a splashpad for the kiddos, look for the corresponding icon to get outdoors and play in Knoxville!
