PARKS & GREENWAYS WEEK

The Parks and Greenways Week focuses on getting to know our area parks and greenways by walking and using them as a tool for healthy living. Maps of the Knox County and City of Knoxville parks and greenways are available online at www.knoxcounty.org/parks/ and www.cityofknoxville.org/greenways. Maps will also be available in the I Walk walking kits available for purchase at select events and at the Knoxville Tourism gift shop located on the corner of Gay Street and Summit Hill in downtown Knoxville.
