If you prefer to stay on the ground, the park has two soccer fields, lots of open space, playgrounds, and trails.

The Holston River Greenway goes through the park providing a paved path for walkers, runners and bicyclists, while the perimeter trail winds through the forest on natural surface terrain, forming a loop along the southern edge of the park.
