All the parks are quite similar and all of them have a very nice double gated concrete entry area with a nice bench on a concrete pad inside the actual Park whether it's the big park or the small Park. All the parks seem to have a poop bag dispenser and trash can close enough to be used but I have not found one that has water yet. Parking is close and there is ample area for your dog to run, dog parks in New housing projects are becoming All the Rage across the country, it is good when people get to know each other in the individual neighborhoods. So although there is no tree nor shade in the big dog park there is a tree in the small dog park, and at least they have one hahaha

Although there is no signage it is laid out exactly the same with a nice concrete double-gated entry as well as a concrete pad with benches in both the big and small dog park. This one does have a water fountain in both dog parks as well as a poop bag dispenser in both and a trash can right out side the double gated entry. Not much in the way of shade but there is plenty of room for your dog to run and it does look like they planted a few trees so in a couple years it will be very very nice. You park decently close and you can easily walk around the interior of the fence line

We don't come from PF to Gatlinburg without stopping at this park. It's excellent for our toddler…read moreto burn off energy before a car-nap or to move around a bit, especially if we've been in the car a while. We watched them build it for a while, even witnessed an Eagle a few years back in this same area, and were so glad once it was finally finished and open. They have nice bathrooms, a fishing access area, and a fence around this play area-which I really appreciate! Highly recommend stopping by if you have a kid and need to let them run and play a bit or if you're looking for something free to do. Also, be sure to walk down and look at the trout in the area near the restrooms.

Patriot Park is a perfect starting point for exploring Pigeon Forge--especially on a sunny day…read more Free parking alone makes this spot a win, and it's conveniently located next to the Pigeon Forge Trolley stop, which is affordable, easy to use, and connect you directly to Dollywood and most of the city's major attractions. The park itself is clean, well maintained, and has centrally located restrooms (always appreciated). From here, you're steps away from Old Mill Avenue and the historic Old Mill district, one of the most charming areas in Pigeon Forge. Highlights include the Old Mill Pottery House Cafe and Pigeon River Pottery, where you can watch local artisans at work, plus plenty of unique gifts and souvenirs. Old Mill Square feels like the heart of the original Pigeon Forge, with its preserved charm and walkable cluster of shops and eateries. Favorites include Iron Mountain Metal Craft, Old Forge Distillery (they have the best prices in town for moonshine, whiskeys and all) Old Mill Restaurant, Creamery, Candy Kitchen, General Store, Farmhouse Kitchen, and more--there's truly something for everyone. This area beautifully maintains its historic ambiance while offering great food, shopping, and family-friendly fun. Ideal for all ages, Patriot Park and the Old Mill district are absolutely worth dedicating a full day to--and a must-stop on any Pigeon Forge visit.

This park is cute and has a nice walk area and grass area. Loved the Smoky the Bear statue and a…read morefew of the Pigeon Forge statues here too. Located real close to the transit center, this is a great place to park for free and use the tram to go into town. Overall, the park is on the small side, but the location makes this a nice stop. It's super close to the Old Mill, so a pleasant area for a walk through and around town and the Old Mill area where parking is sometimes scarce.

This is an excellent dog park, equipped with multiple water stations (including a wash station),…read moretwo separate areas (one for small dogs, one for large), an open field for running, share and benches for owners, and even some walking trails! This dog park is fairly new, and has some young trees. Most of the trees are too young to provide shade, but should be great in the future. The grassy area is located on a hillside, which makes chasing a ball a little strange. It could be good if your pooch is a diehard ball chaser; just tossing a ball down the hill would be great exercise. Mine golden retriever retrieves about 40% to 50% of the time, lol. You get the idea. It could be great excercise for ME! There is only one sitting area for owners (pet parents), but maybe they will install more in the future. During this summer heat, we spent most of our time in the wooded area, but there's no seating there. Overall, a great dog park! I hope it continues to be well maintained & developed.

Excellent newer dog park. Located on the Maryville Pike side of IC King. Plenty of parking…read more There is a small dog and large dog side of the park. Both fences well kept. Strong secure entry gates. There are great water stations on both sides of the park for dogs and humans as well and water bowls scattered around. We'll supplied dog poop bags, and there's even a wash station. There's only one small area under shade and cover with two benches on each side, so be aware if it's sunny that there's no other coverage for dogs or humans. There are bathrooms and a small children's park located near by as well. The highlights of this park are the multiple walking trails. They start on either side of the dog park with trails around the park that go all the way to the old entrance off of Alcoa Highway. These are well kept, cleared regularly after bad weather, and are slightly hilly but easy to walk and the dogs love it.

Morningside Park is pretty spread out in the area. There seems to be two parts of the park, which…read morecan be rather confusing for a tourist trying to find the Alex Healy statue. 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..
