It seemed to be a very nice, large park. It is right off I-75. The show venue is where I went and for being an open area in TN July weather, it was able to be kept a comfortable temperature. The show venues restrooms were clean and nice for the type of facility. The park was easy to enter and exit, although it may be difficult during times of higher traffic.

Super nice, clean an need spacious. Im a little bummed that the ginormous playground is still closed. I suppose Tennessee is still running a little behind most other states on that issue. Every other aspect was of the park was great. We will be returning.

Regional Park is a nice place to go exercise, or just to clear your head. The setting has a caring effect for me. Beautiful place.

Beautiful park, well maintained and nice trails. Plenty of flowers and a nice creek circling it. Bathrooms could be better. Besides that, nice place and will definitely be back!

Love this park! The hiking trail is absolutely beautiful and so is the area by the ponds. The disc golf course is fairly nice, but its easy to lose a disc in the pond on one of the holes, be warned. They are building a new playground for kids that looks super nice too. Great place to bring family, pets, kids, etc. They have a volleyball net you can play on, you can fish in the pond, along with other activities :)

It was an okay park. The tournament director canceled the tournament even though people are driving across the country to waste money on a hotel. Thanks for wasting peoples money, dont expect to see our softball team at your park again.

Took 4 grandkids to the splash pad and playground. This is an excellent facility! Plenty of seating for watchful parents...and covered tables. Very grateful that the city chose to build this. Well worth the trip if your children like playing in water. Connects to playground so theres lots to do even if they dont.

A great place to take your kids to play, cool off in the splash pad, go for a hike or walk around the pound. They have great events as well. Our kids really love it when the kids fishing derby comes around.

We were in the area to visit family and they suggested we come here. The playground and splash pad are great. They are clean and well maintained, and have a variety of activities to suit every age range. Theres also plenty of shade so you can get out of the sun for a break. Were so glad we came.

Amazing kids playground area. This quick stop off I-75 offers an elaborate play area for kids to burn off some energy, walking trails for adults, and a conference facility for those looking for a meeting facility. If you’re traveling I-75 and need a quick stop for the kids to burn some energy, don’t pass this park up.

Review №52

Not as dog friendly, the sidewalk look around the baseball field cuts through the splashpad/ playground area which has a no pets rule forcing you to take the road for that portion. Plenty of area for photography or just relaxing.

Review №53

The Park has something for everyone, kids to adults. Frisbee Golf, walking and biking trails, baseball fields, soccer fields, play ground, splash pad, event buildings, what more can you ask. Athens Park and Recreation has made this one of the premiere Parks in the state. Perfect place for events for all East Tennessee.

We always enjoy coming here to play on the awesome playground equipment and watch the fireworks show on the 4th of July. Lots of country type folk here, but overall a nice place!

It was a nice little park. It wouldve been better if the splash pad would have been open since that was the main reason for being there... I guess next time Ill call before I come.

I love this place but today July 13 it was infiltrated with bees. We have never had a problem with insects of any kind before. It was terrible. Will be back but just thought I would let whoever is over the park know this. Thanks for a beautiful fun place for the kids of the area

Best Park around anywhere in this area of southeast Tennessee. Nice, Cozy Friendly and most of all you feel safe in this park, which is always a good thing. If youre going to go to a park in this area, it should be Athens Regional Park.

Always go to Athens Regional Park on the 4th to see the fireworks show. It is always a great show. Any other time in the summer you can play on the playground or cool off on the splash pad. The have a walking trail, bike trail, baseball fields, soccer field, frisbee golf, and even rodeos! A nice pond sits on one side with ducks and plenty of parking. Very nice park that fits a lot of needs.

Review №78

This park could easily be considered the best in a 50 -mile radius besides Tinsely Park in Cleveland, TN. They have a good trail running and mountain biking trail. There is no Greenway in Athens so I wouldnt recommend any type of road biking. Great for kids as they have a little water park. Fishing is allowed in the pond they have. Restrooms are available and well-maintained. Soccer fields, softball fields are in top-notch condition. For runners, this is definitely not a bad place to train for a marathon. A lap.around the park road is close to a mile, and if you want to dart of the path and go on their new .4 mile trail with awesome surface composite, it is a good experience as I have bad knees. All-in-all this park is a good park for all ranges of people and you should give it a try. As you can see, I spend a considerable amount of time and training-work here.

Review №85

We came for the eclipse, and during that time there were way too less toilets. But still, it was a great service that they have upscaled it to 10.000 visitors! I am convinced that everything is equipped to the notmal need. Nice park with a few Ingress portals️ and some toilets.

Disc golf course only recommended for those who dont believe they will have bad knees in the next five years. Beautiful location, but almost sprained my ankle a few times due to holes on the fairway in overgrown grass.
