Tyson Park, Knoxville

This park is terrific, though a little hard to find - even with Yahoo Travel directions. The drive into the park is very easy to miss. We passed by it 3 times before realizing it. The park itself is beautiful - a great place for a leisurely picnic. And, they have a large playground for kids with the largest climbing structure in Knoxville - and the biggest one I've ever seen. My daughters love it. We always stop at the park for a break when we're doing our semi-annual drive to Alabama from Virginia. We stop and grab lunch somewhere and take it to the park. The kids eat, then play for 20 minutes or so, and that seems to be enough time for them to get some of their wiggles out. It makes the final leg of our trip a little easier.
