Karns Community Park

Karns Community Park is a recreational space located in Knoxville, Tennessee. The park is managed by the Karns Lions Club, a non-profit organization dedicated to serving the community. One of the park's standout features is its all-inclusive, handicap-accessible playground designed for children aged 2-12. This playground provides a safe and equal environment for children of all abilities to interact and play together.

The park is open from dawn to dusk, offering visitors ample time to enjoy its facilities. In addition to the playground, the park includes a public swimming pool equipped with a handicap ramp for easy access. This feature ensures that individuals with mobility challenges can also enjoy aquatic activities.

For those looking to spend time outdoors with family and friends, the park provides covered picnic tables. These offer a shaded area for rest and relaxation, making it an ideal spot for community gatherings or family outings. Restroom facilities, including diapering stations, are available on-site for visitor convenience.

It's worth noting that during winter months, water is shut off in the playground area to prevent pipe freezing. During this time, the regular restrooms are locked, and portable toilets are made available as an alternative.

The Karns Community Park serves as a central recreational hub for several nearby communities, including Karns, Powell, Ball Camp, Cedar Bluff, Solway, Hardin Valley, and Halls. Its location on Beaver Ridge Road in Knoxville makes it easily accessible to residents of these areas.
