Beth Ann Booker Park

Beth Ann Booker Park, formerly known as Old North Knoxville Park, is located in Knoxville, Tennessee. The park serves as a local recreational area for the Old North Knoxville neighborhood.

The park was renamed in honor of Beth Ann Handshy-Booker, a beloved longtime resident of the neighborhood who passed away on January 23, 2022, after a long battle with cancer. Beth spent more than 20 years in Old North Knoxville and was known for her contributions to the community.

Beth Ann Booker Park provides a safe, off-street area for children to play. The park's creation transformed what was once overgrown and stagnant land into a vibrant community space featuring a playground.

The park is situated in the historic Old North Knoxville neighborhood, which is known for its walkability and pockets of green spaces. This cozy neighborhood is characterized by its many historic homes listed on the National Register of Historic Places, offering a variety of housing options ranging from Queen Anne and Shotgun to Bungalows and Folk-style houses.
