Small park but very busy when we went. The park had a nice little man made stream and a lot of art from local artists. A nice little get away from the hustle and bustle of the surrounding streets. A lot of retail shops and restraunts within walking distance.

Sweet city park across the street from Market Square. Just not enough of it. The day we were there (day after election before all votes were counted) a demonstration and march through downtown was about to get underway.

A cool little park in downtown Knoxville. Lots of shade and several places to sit. The art work was unusual but always interpreted different by different people. Right next to the park was the downtown market place with shops, restaurants and bars.

Cool place to chill for lunch or just to sit and people watch. Theres a small pond, waterfall in the middle and no tables only benches. This park is near market Square and Gay street where all the action is happening.

I like this place. The artwork and statues are nice. I would have given it five stars, but while trying to enjoy a moment with my fiance when we were stopped by someone with religious flyers. It killed the mood.

This small urban park is a do-not-miss destination when visiting the city. Located in the rejuvenated heart of of downtown Knoxville, it features lots of shade, seating areas, paved walking and gathering areas, as well as a many outdoor sculptures.Photo ops abound. There are beautiful vistas that combine urban greenery and flowers (in season) with restored buildings. There are intimate small seating + gathering spaces tucked in amongst the surrounding buildings. There are realistic statues commemorating Knoxville history plus very cool abstracts.Surrounding the park, there are many places to shop, dine, drink and snack. This is the perfect place to spend a fine weather afternoon, or just spend an hour here posing by the art and and enjoying a fine cup of coffee.

I came here for a Clue event, but the park is decent. Every city has a park in the middle of downtown, and Knoxville is no exception. In my opinion, there should be some high rising bushes to hide some of the businesses, and to add to the guide of true nature in an urban areas, but I dont have many other qualms.

Nice, small urban park. Rotating art. Dont like whats there right now, but most of the time there are pieces I really like. Small waterfall. They clean the water regularly and have beautiful foliage and flowers. Nice. Clean. Nice benches. Always clean. Near Market Square.

Beautiful day, lots of people out to see the drawings; 4-legged fur-kids were behaved. Friendly people moving in all different directions. Loved the waterfall and stream running through, and the many differing sculptures! Fantastic place!

Review №71

Its okay, but a favorite hangout of vagrants and neer-do-wells. One guy was screaming his head off at his significant other over his phone for better than 30 minutes. Not exactly a warm sense of community or a family atmosphere. I could see where someone more vulnerable would fear for their safety.

It was a charming area in a special moment, an art fair. Its central streets, kind of colonial internal patio architecture, has trees, benches, and some fountains to enjoy without the hassle of congested cities. Along both sides of the streets, there are many food places. It qas a nicw stop beforw getting to the airport.

Its a small park off Market Square in downtown Knoxville. They have nice sculptures that get changed out periodically. And they have little events there through the year. Plus a ginormous Christmas tree for the holidays. Its a good place to sit outside for a few minutes or take a little stroll with your sweetie.

Krutch Park is a tranquil piece of constructed nature in the middle of downtown. Faux waterfall and stream, trees, seating, and home to a sculpture garden which is refreshed annually. Great place.
