✨️Add John Sevier Park to this weekends to-do list, because it's getting some new equipment!✨️

Phase 2 has been installed and we are hoping to have the surface finished by Friday (pending weather)! Once the surfacing is finished, it will be open for use.

The next update to the playground will be to fence both sections in 💙 While we don't have a timeline for fencing installation, we are in the process and hope to have that for the community soon!

The below rendering is what has been ordered and we are so thankful to have more options for younger children, as well as additional wheelchair accessible equipment! We will update the community with an install date as soon as we have one!

We had a wonderful time this morning at our official grand opening! We are so thankful for everyone from the community that came out to support us, and to all of the folks who worked so hard to make this playground a reality for the children of Blount County. If you haven't had a chance to come explore the playground make sure and make plans to do so soon! Also be on the lookout for information on phase 2 shortly.

Our John Sevier Inclusive playground construction is moving forward! Last week Parks & Recreation removed much of the old playground equipment. One more large piece to go. Then the site will be prepped and leveled out. We are so excited that the new equipment is expected to be delivered in about a week!!! Then comes the installation by the equipment company! Stay tuned for more updates.

Donations are being accepted for friends and relatives: “in honor of” or “in memory of”. There will be permanent engravings and you can even have an engraved bench or a memorial tree planted nearby with a memory plaque. If you are interested please email Kathy McGee at [email protected]

Thank you!
