James Smith Park

Local Space

Tucked away in Knoxville, Tennessee, James Smith Park might be small, but it packs a lot of charm into its half-acre footprint. This cozy green space acts as a welcome retreat for locals looking to enjoy a bit of nature without venturing far from home.

Perfect for Quick Outings

What makes this park special is its approachable size - ideal when you need a breath of fresh air but don't have time for a major excursion. Parents will appreciate having a dedicated spot where little ones can burn off energy during those "we need to get outside NOW" moments.

The basic amenities here aren't fancy, but they get the job done for casual play and relaxation. Sometimes simple is exactly what you need.

Behind the Scenes

The City of Knoxville's Parks and Recreation Department keeps everything in ship-shape, ensuring the grounds stay welcoming for everyone who stops by.

While James Smith Park won't compete with Knoxville's destination parks, it wasn't designed to. Instead, it's a quieter but equally important accessible patch of green where neighborhood kids can play and adults can enjoy a moment of peace just steps from their front door.
