Lakeshore Park offers spectacular views of
Fort Loudoun Lake and the Great Smoky

A popular location to runners and walkers, Lakeshore Park provides spectacular vistas of Fort Loudoun Lake and the Smoky Mountains. Results from the City greenway laser counter project proved Lakeshore Greenway to be the most heavily used greenway in Knoxville. 

Lakeshore Park is managed by the Lakeshore Park Conservancy, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization whose mission is to preserve, protect, and maintain the Park for public use and to provide on-going financial support for operation, expansion, enhancement, and beautification of the Park. The future development of Lakeshore Park and all park improvements will be supported by private donations. To make a gift, schedule an event, or for more information, visit www.LakeshoreParkKnoxville.org

The park also includes vast recreational opportunities with 4 baseball / softball fields with lights, and 4 soccer fields (3 large and 1 small). For reservations or program information, contact Knox Youth Sports at [email protected] or check out www.knoxyouthsports.com.


HANK RAPPÉ PLAYGROUND

The Hank Rappé Playground is an universal playground designed to be inclusive for children of every ability and includes a resilient surface, multiple play areas and special equipment. It is named in memory of Hank Rappé, the son of Dr. Matt and Brandy Rappé, who passed away on April 5, 2013 – two days before his first Knox Youth Sports tee-ball game at Lakeshore Park.
