John Sevier Park is one of Maryville's premier family parks, featuring an 8,500-square-foot inclusive playground that serves families with diverse needs and abilities. This park has serious sports facilities and a playground that's genuinely accessible to everyone.
Why kids love it: The inclusive playground is the star here. Kids of all ages and abilities can play together on equipment designed to be usable by everyone. There's also a full set of sports facilities - basketball courts, tennis courts, and pickleball courts (yes, six pickleball courts!) that older kids can use for games and practice.
Why parents appreciate it: The inclusive playground means you don't have to worry about whether your child can access the equipment. Everything is designed for everyone. The multiple picnic tables and charcoal grills make it easy to plan a family gathering. With two sets of restrooms, the park is well-equipped for families with young children. The courts are all lit, so you can play even after sunset.
My tip: This is the go-to park for families who want inclusive play spaces. The playground's design means kids can play together regardless of mobility or ability, which creates a more welcoming and integrated play environment. If you're planning a family gathering, book the pavilion and use the grills - it's perfect for birthday parties and family get-togethers.
