    Cherokee Park - One of the grilling areas with the older $10 a day picnic pavilion rentals. These are at the far end of the park.

    In town for one day and we visited Cherokee Park for a few hours. Loved the scenic lake area. We…read morewalked down to the dock and the little shop where we purchased fish food for the many carp that swarm the dock area. We walked around the park as well and found the boat ramp area. Park was very clean and paths were clear for walking. Would visit again if we're ever in the area in the future.

    This is my favorite park in Morristown. Why? By far it is the most enjoyable of the three area disc…read moregolf courses. I like the variety and treachery of the holes. It is by the lake, so had great views. They have nice to basic picnic shelters and pavilions which can match any budget. (Smaller old shelters are as little as $10 a day, and include a grill. See posted photos.) The park is by a public boat launch, paid boat slips, and a campground. They have an outdoor clamshell style stage, lots of walking paths, and pretty nice playgrounds. I really have been enjoying reading in the shade lately, while my husband plays an extra round. The only things I could wish to see improved would be a more easily accessed handicapped bathroom* and a fenced in dog run.** Morristown is doing a pretty good job with their parks. We visit this park, and the nearby dog park at Jaycee field once a week, and often end up getting lunch in town, or running errands. They are hosting this years Tennessee State Disc Golf Championship, June 7-9. Way to go, Morristown! *the bathroom has a handicapped ramp, but is a long walk from the parking lot. This would work for those in scooters, but would be too much for someone in a walker. **the Morristown Dog Park at Jaycee Field is not too far away though, and it is very nice.

    This is an awesome dog park, it's all fenced in, they have fire hydrants for the furbabies, ramps…read morefor them to run over, pipes for them to run through, a furbaby pool!!!! Dual entrance- Restrooms and covered bleachers for us caretakers- Lots of room to run-- Love this park for our furbabies!! Be careful as the dogs that were here jumped all over me and stained my white pants and scratched my arm. It wasn't the furbabies fault it's the owners. No control over their dogs once your in the fenced area. I even seen where that owner didn't clean up after their dogs mess.

    Well this was a surprise! Since moving to Tennesee, I have been looking for a good dog park. When…read moreasking for the location of just such a place, people usually scratch their head. "Why do you need a park for a dog? Don't he run on your farm?" Well, yes, but, you see, I come from a land where dog truly was man's best friend, and thus we got to go everywhere together, even bars. It is hard to admit to you, but I got addicted. Real bad. Now I can't stop adventuring and exercising with my dogs. Yahoo! We only found out about this little gem by driving past a sign. We did a quick U-turn to investigate. We found that someone (or some group) in Morristown clearly loves dogs. A lot of care was put into this dog park, which is in a converted ball field. The saplings are still growing, but the night lights are already installed (switch is near the entrance gate) and the dugouts have been converted to shaded seating areas. They have a box of toys hanging on the fence, a kiddie pool right next to a hose, and multiple doggie bag stations. We used the kiddie pool to wet down our big guy after a long hot day at the people park. We plan to add some toys to the box, and pick up after our dog, to show Morristown they made a great decision to open this dog-gone-Mecca. I hope that more dog friends find their way over here now, and take care of it like these folks are!

    As long as I've lived, I have never been to a disc golf course that's been so perfect. The claytons…read moreis a professionally cut and maintained course right outside of Knoxville tn. that has everything you might want out of a disc golf course taken care of. Here's the list: 1) claytons is the size and quality of an actual golf course, maintained for disc golfers. 2) there are dedicated AstroTurf tee off pads at the start of each hole 3) there are detailed course maps available at the start of each pin with par, total distance, and a and b markers clearly labeled 4) there is a creative expanse of different shots to be made on a course that has plenty of open space and winds around through both forest and park like setting, the full course is huge 5) creative liberties taken on some holes--especially 18. The course was still under construction (front 9 in forest) and so I only played the back 9 in the park. Playing just half of the course still delivered a full and five star experience as this was the best course that I have ever been too. Definitely try to be back to try out the whole course!

After driving around, we came across the playground area that also displayed Alex Healy's statue. He is the author of "Roots." It's a lovely statue of him and it's really big! There is no graffiti or damages to his statue, which is always a good thing! There is a lovely playground next to it and it has lots of things for kids to do! There are swings and slides and monkey bars for them to use. There isn't any shade in that area, which is a bummer so make sure you keep cool with an umbrella, sunglasses, and water! There is parking on the street above on Dandridge St.

We located Morningside Park quite easily off Dandridge Ave..I just plugged the directions in to my Google Maps app on my android and Gertrude (the name of my phone) guided us there quickly from our luncheon off Central Ave. We went strictly to see the Alex Haley statue located there in the Haley Heritage Square. This park is large and the entire area is FREE. We found parking easily and entered into the area of the park where the Statue is located. It is very nice but remember on a HOT SUNNY day, like today..Don't touch the statue YOU WILL GET BURNED...just a little FYI in case you wanted to climb on it for a photo or put a small child near it for a photo opportunity..just be careful it will BURN YOU or THEM... I was surprised to learn that my 18 yr old daughter has NEVER SEEN the ROOTS SAGA...I am a bad mommy..I have to make sure she sees it and soon!!! IT is a terrific Story of a True family that needs to be heard.. If you are in the area visiting Knoxville, put this Wonderful FREE site on your MUST DO LIST...and enjoy...the park is nice and set up for picnicking if you choose..
