Always wonderful to see a smile on his face! One day tho... I hope when other moms are with groups and solo moms try to join in and meet new people that the groups will be more excepting and make others feel invited. Unfortunately I have yet to experience that at all in Knoxville at any of the parks... ( personal feeling aside from the park itself )

Variety of areas for differing age groups and something for everyone. The parking is easy and directly next to all the action. My two nit-picking suggestions? It would be great to have more bench seating directly surrounding the playground (especially for those who bring dogs but also want to keep an eye on kiddos) and a fenced playground would be amazing for the runners. Overall, this is the best playground in OR.

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.

This linear park includes a playground and a covered pavilion plus playgrounds, picnic tables and a level paved space for the walkers and runners. It's hard to beat the beautiful Knoxville skyline though it sure is hot in June! They also have a kayak launch. [Review 1189 of 2024 - 505 in Tennessee - 22212 overall]

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..
