Was really looking forward to trying after all the hype....what a let down…read more Gorgeous atmosphere, location & the staff was incredibly professional, now if that could be applied to the food quality they'd be in business. Mediocre Cocktails, appetizers luke warm at best. Tried the pork chop which was decent, the glaze was the best part. We were concerned when everything came out so quickly, not usually a good sign & unfortunately correct. Truly the worst Brussels sprouts I've ever had, cold, overcooked & terrible flavor, we sent them back & replaced w/ EXACTLY the same thing! Again, NOTHING is fresh served in 2 min! 3rd time replaced with luke warm hospital broccoli, not an ounce of seasoning. Half the meal wasn't eaten. Was kinda shocked no effort was made to comp part of the bill, desert....etc. Great place for a so-so cocktail and a walk in the gorgeous grounds is about it.

Knox County Sportspark is the cleanest park and outdoor fun area on the planet…read more I love going to the park with my two son's each week. Because I have pet allergies, I can't go to every park that has dogs and pets. There is only one park on this planet, where I can go without having to take allergy shots and an overdose of allergy medication. I love walking the amazing clean and safe walking track and trail. Northwest Sports Complex is like a golf course without the golf with a playground and pavilion area. This is the most beautiful and pet free park in the world, and I love this place!

What a lovely park! We've been making our rounds to all of the parks in the area and this one was…read moreperfect to explore in the morning before it gets lava hot. Many mature trees and the surrounding pond cool down the playground area. There is ample parking and a large restroom facility which are both convenient. Pavilion area that you can rent and a few docks jutting out into the water are nice touches, as is the extensive walking trail that goes around the park and surrounding neighborhoods. As for the play area, it is well-maintained and there is a large sandbox that is clearly very popular (hence, why I didn't take a photo with so many littles enjoying it). The playset has lots of stationary toys on it as well as an abundance of slides. The swing area is separated from the playground and has some unique swing options. Note that the sandbox and playground is directly next to the pond, so if you get high anxiety with young kiddos around bodies of water or have runners, you may want to forgo this park (or at least ensure you have an extra set of eyes/hands with you).

Great parking spot for the bike and walking trail here, also there is a soccer field and a pond to…read morefish in. Our kids have lots of luck catching sunfish, or during the Bob Watt Fishing rodeo once a year here CATFISH!

Ijams Nature Center is decent. There is a $5 parking fee. They allow leashed pets on the property…read morehowever they are not allowed in the nature center. There are trails to walk. They were okay. I got bored with them and didn't stay long. They do have a a high ropes course that looked neat if you are into that.

I happened to be in the area on vacation looking for a good place to hike. I definitely found what…read moreI came for. This place has it all. Paved roads, for those who want to take it more easy. Dirt roads. Some way off the beaten path, for those who wanna make it a little hard, climb up some rock stairs. It was really fun. It was quite an adventure. More than I have had in a nature center in a while. I stopped at the gift center, which was very quaint. I love the little stones they had. It was a bag of them for six dollars I believe. The quality of the tumbled stones seemed very nice as well for such a price. I would definitely go back to this area and visit once more if I happen to be here on vacation!

My family goes to this great playground every week after exploring Haw Ridge. It is easy to miss…read morethe turn in, but it is directly past the TVA Fossil Plant with baseball fields at the corner. There is a Porto Potty and covered area with picnic tables. It is toddler-friendly with an area for the littles with baby swings, smaller slides (one is currently broken), and even sandboxes. Note that it isn't fenced and there is a large water retention area with a bridge kids seem to be curious about. I grew up in IL with a very similar wooden park, also named Kids Castle, so it is nostalgic to bring my own kiddos here. Something for every age, expansive, and rarely many people here. In fact, we are often the only people there!

Lakeshore is a wonderful public park situated along the Tennessee River and offering some…read morespectacular views of the Smoky Mountains. I finally got a chance to come here with my neighbor and her toddler on a weekday and I was surprised how many kids were at the playground. However, we never felt crowded here and there are several playgrounds in the park, with one being in a slightly wooded section. Besides children's playgrounds, the park offers extensive greenways, sports facilities, and even, event spaces. Sports facilities include: baseball/softball fields, soccer field and an outdoor fitness center. On my next visit, I'm going to explore even more of the greenways and try to find the steel sculpture in the park called the "Quantum Embrace." Know before you go: 1) Lakeshore is open daily: 6 am - 10 pm 2) Plenty of parking spaces 3) There are public restrooms onsite 4) Events at the park hosted by the Roots & Revelry Group. Some events coming up are Paint & Sip (April 28th) and Mahjong in Garden (May 12th)
