Perfect for a stroller, and some nature scavenger hunts. The playground itself is huge and looked really well cared for. The toddler area was unfortunately closed during our visit, but the rest of the space more than made up for it. There are tons of benches and seating all around, and you can see most of the playground from just about anywhere, which is so helpful when you're keeping an eye on kiddos. There's a massive covered pavilion area that would be perfect for group meetups or a picnic in the shade. And while it was still closed for the season, the splash pad/water park area looked like fun! Definitely planning to come back in the summer to check it out! Such a great spot to have in the area!

This new splash pad and playground serves as a reminder that damn Loudon County has some money. We got here at noon with our toddler and only planned to spend a couple of hours and ended up basically being here until they closed in the middle of summer at 8 PM. I think it's an amazing design to have three playground design for different ages right near the splash pad. Luckily it was like 5000° out so kids dried off the minute they left the waterpark to go to playgrounds. So being a wet mess really wasn't a concern. There are a few rules to the waterpark that includes no toys and no dogs and the standard diaper requirements for the incontinent , but otherwise it's pretty open and people were really really well behaved. The bathrooms are amazingly clean for a public bathrooms and offer wide enough stalls to change in. It's highly recommended because of temperatures and the fact that most of the place is concrete to wear water shoes. The only issue we had was that a baby kept putting wet banana peels like this was Mario kart in the splash pad and people kept tripping on them. Most of the water features are well functioning and a lot of fun. The playground themselves range from ages 5 to 12, and have a lot of hills with Astroturf, which is kind of fun to just roll down and they have slides built into them. There are a lot of climbing activities. The slides do get hot on a sunny day, but since the kids are already wet from the waterpark, they seem fine. And the park is very clean. We went on a weekday and it wasn't really that crowded, but I can see how weekends could be pretty full. They also have lots of tables for our families to sit down and enjoy some picnic items.

My kids love it. It's clean and lots of parking space and well maintained. It's worth visiting.read more

This consistent pattern strongly points to the play equipment itself not being properly sanitized. While the setup seems fun, the lack of visible cleaning/sanitization protocols for the toys, slides, climbing structures, etc., is a major health concern. It's unacceptable that visiting at opening didn't prevent illness, suggesting deep cleaning isn't happening overnight. We won't be returning due to this recurring health risk. Management urgently needs to implement and enforce rigorous, frequent sanitization of ALL play surfaces.

There's also a gazebo area that's perfect for lunch and a few benches where parents can relax. The park is conveniently located right next to the Waterworks Splash Pad, where kids can swim during the summer before enjoying a picnic under the gazebos. One downside is that there's only a porta-potty on site, and it isn't very clean--so it's best to make a restroom stop before arriving.

The forest trails here are so pretty and most of the time there's no one else there. It's just me, the birds (listen for the woodpeckers!), the abundant squirrels, and an occasional deer. There are many different entrances to the trails, so you can look at the maps online and decide which one you'd like to take. (Look up Neabsco Greenway TrThe trees are marked with different colors/lines to help you know which trail you are on. However, I do recommend bringing a phone with GPS capabilities if you are going for a long walk, just in case you happen to lose your way, especially as the landscape changes with the seasons. Most of the path will be gravel or flat dirt, although some sections can get really muddy if there's been a good rain. They also recommend using tick spray, although I've never had any bites when sticking to the established trails. Be sure to be respectful to others by staying at least 6 feet away if you happen to cross paths. These trails provide a great place to get some fresh air and enjoy nature!
