    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! The playground is well maintained and there are plenty of picnic tables and benches to sit and rest at. We are so glad to have this park in Farragut!

    The first time we went to this park was to check out the historical Friendship Bell and have a…read morepicnic. The trails and stream are on flat terrain easy to navigate with littles, strollers, wagons, wheelchairs, etc. we searched for the playground but couldn't find it. Doh! If you are looking for the same, park at the rear of the library lot or in the OR Rec Center lot, as the playground is right behind. The Friendship Bell commemorates the workers of the Manhattan Project and it's a good thing to check off your list once. I don't know that we need to go back until/unless our kids learn about it in school. The park has a great amphitheater which frequently hosts live music, concerts, and festivals. The playground next to it is great for kids 2-5. Low to the ground, slides aren't as steep, and some developmental equipment for those of the younger age. Baby swings available and a nearby pavilion. Tons of shaded benches to keep an eye on your kiddos. The playground is a stone's throw from the library and the pretty courtyard with a fountain.

    This park is quite nice. There are some beautiful of trees as well as a few newer trees that have…read morebeen planted. I would hope they plant even more to give better coverage to the trail that goes around the park. I walked here every morning on my recent visit. Most mornings there were a few joggers and people walking their dogs. The trail is gravel for the most part. A few short sections are sidewalk. It would be nice to have some trail markers that show distance on the trail. There is some signage about the park near the bell. Farther down the trail behind the senior center is a large playground and a place that appears to host live music. Overall this park is pretty amazing. I plan on coming back on my next visit

    Love this scenic trail! Paved and definitely stroller-friendly. There is shade from the many trees,…read moregorgeous greenery and flowers, an abundance of convenient parking areas, and of course, water views the entire way. Ducks galore gather in warmer months and you can even take in the rowing competitions. Pop into Adventures Outdoors to rent a paddleboard, bike, kayak, or even waterbike to explore in the water next to the greenway. There is also a great playground and pavilion next to Adventures Outdoors (immediately off the greenway), as is Calhoun's for yummy BBQ a little further down. No matter where this trail takes you, you are bound to get a great view during your workout. Just be careful with littles who may not be able to swim yet, as there is not much separation between the trail and the water. Have fun!

    If you are staying in Oakridge and an avid runner, you must come here to try their Greenway! It's…read morewell paved, lots of people running or walking by, rowing nearby, and a feeding area for ducks, geese, and swans. There's a nearby power plant, that's the visible stack visible in the background. The clinch river is really pretty especially during sunset with the pink hues. I went in mid-April and there were a couple bugs around but nothing that was too terrible. The Greenway is also shaded by the many surrounding trees, so I wouldn't worry so much about the sun. Great place to unwind and take in the nature sights.
