A park next to the Juvenile Court and Juvenile detention center. I could only imagine the pain it creates to see misery and a park right next to each other.

1st time being here...seems nice...fields good quality..parking seems a little squished and dark when games end....came to watch my sons friend play....police presence for safety...some parents can be unruly when the game doesnt go their way...watched one parent try to chew a coach out...almost to the point of fighting.... But the coach took it with stride... recommended that they all go home and then they discuss it at a later time...good move

Bathrooms and parking are a freaking job and we pay taxes for this place.. whoever runs the park should find another job.. and the police being there doesnt make me feel any safer !!

I was there for a youth football tournament. Two teams from Atlanta got in a big fight. They should of both been kicked out. The tournament director gave them another chance. In my opinion that was wrong. Then the team from Mississippi could not been comprised of 13 and 14 year olds. Their average height was 62. Average weight was around 240/250 lbs. Also, when you host a tournament, you supply the people to run chains.

Quiet place to go with the kids. You can have a picnic, play with the kids or throw a birthday party. They have grills for cooking out and public restrooms along with a conveinant skate park for the older kids

Ke
Review №31

Lots of fields for the games. The only downer I see if the fields should be labeled better. The 1st we went we didnt have a clue which field was what field. Like the fact they have plenty of cops on scene. Kids parents get wild at games now days.

John Tarleton is the site for Knox County Youth League Football competition. Its always a good time going to watch these young people compete while learning about team sports and sportsmanship. A character building experience for our young people and a source of family participation.

I always enjoy​visiting, I read some reviews that mentioned small items of trash, but personally, I think this is a very clean park, well lighted and multipurpose. I think an interesting side feature is the proximity to Young Williams Animal Shelter! I have frequently referred friends to the shelter, because I saw a dog they might like walking at Tarlton Park!

Held a youth football tournament this last week that obstructed people from getting into the animal shelter nearby. When people would enter for said shelter, there were people standing in the way asking for payment. I was harassed and they continually yelled at me. Happened twice in a week. Ugly situation to be in.

Review №72

Cleanest animal shelter I hv ever been n. The staff and volunteers are awesome and actually care. I hv never experienced a shelter like this I would enjoy going bk and adopting from them. The dogs isnt in cages they are all in AC rooms with windows and even got a puppy play room and outside pools to take dogs to play and interact with them if I had to take an animal to a shelter which I wouldnt but it would b this one they even work with them to see their strength and attitudes and even give them a peanut butter Kong everyday its unreal..all hands down I cant say enough bout this place!,Go Adopt
