A nice little park by the river. Room to play fetch in the grass with your dog and a nice playground for children to play on. The park features nice views of the marina on the other side of the river and is within walking distance of several AirBNBs.

A beautiful evening of playing at this lovely park. We always stop to salute every airplane that flies overhead just in case its an Army plane because thats where Daddy use to work.

A great place on the river in Knoxville. What more could you ask for than to take your family and enjoy lunch.

Amazing park! Clean and well kept. The restrooms were open and were also extremely clean. I took my Rollerblades for a mid-morning ride and will definitely be back!

Cute quaint little park, lots of areas to sit at a picnic table overlooking the river. Theres a large grassy area to just hang out in or have a group activity. Last night there was a good size group doing yoga. The walking trail circles back to the main walking trail. This park is walking distance from many of the cool little swanky bars and restaurants in the S. Knox river area.

Very clean and well tended park on the river. A fantastic play area for kids and a kayak launch that is handicap accessible. Well lit at night with a great mix of people. Plenty of bench seating and picnic table areas.

This is a pleasant park to spend some time walking around. My kids are grown, now, but it looks like a great place to take your children to play or walk your dog. I just like going there to walk along the river for a while.

Needed to use the restroom and get a drink if water, after a kayak trip. Got neither due to covid precautions. Nice park though.

Enjoy walking around the park late at night after I got done drinking a beer at alliance brewing, the whole place was empty it felt like a ghost town, but I like the views from the river and the Knoxville downtown skyline.

Why is the bathroom so far away from the playground? Whoever designed this park obviously doesn’t have kids.

Although theyre still doing some work, the finished sections are lovely & well kept. Really quite a nice park, will be stunning in a few years & the trees offer some shade

Very nice park along the river. Lots of picnic tables and benches. Large playground for kids. Lots of lights line the walkway. Very safe and easily accessible. Perfect for evening walks along the river.

Great park for senior dogs - wide, paved, easy walk space. Nice to view the downtown-side of the river for a change. New, appealing playground and large flat space to kick a ball around or toss a frisbee.Dog poop bags and trash cans are provided. Owners need to be responsible and clean up after their pups, however. Lots of dog poop along the walkway...

Its a nice but small park with good views of the river and based on location it doesnt typically have seedy people here. Good to visit and walk along the river.

Wish there was more shade. The playground is a favorite of my kids and its fun to do on a Sunday afternoon by the river. But there is nowhere to cool off. However if the city invested in something a splash pad would make this park jump from a 3 star to a 5!

Nice park but once again Knoxville has built a park with no shade. Its like the people who build them live up north and dont realize what Tennessee in summer is like. Fun playground though and nice place for young kids to ride a bike.

Suttree Landing Park is a park on the south Knoxville waterfront. Its named after the the Cormac McCarthy book of the same name about a shiftless alcoholic who drinks his way across town, having many crude misadventures before Suttree has a psychotic break in the Smoky mountains and then moves to Michigan. Much like the book, the park is beautiful and unsettling, located as it is on a gorgeous stretch of river that is right next to a gas refinery. The refinery smells great all the time, and it was a stroke of genius to allow a gas plant on prime downtown waterfront property. Kudos, city planners of yore! Theres a fancy playground, a boat dock, and plenty of grassy areas for dogs to poop on. The area immediately adjacent to the park will soon be filled with townhouses, and those townhouses will soon thereafter be filled with people who will no doubt act like the park is theres and theres alone, so go now.

Usually a really nice park but theyre currently doing construction there and there is a big ugly pipe all the way down the Waters edge. Rest of the park is still okay though, as long as you dont cross the road to the grass over there. Alcohol bottles everywhere over there. City doesnt seem to pick up there (or just as, if not more likely, the same people come back and trash it constantly)

Review №73

Great place. Clean and safe...sort of. A little girl got her finger stuck in a bench on one of the tables. She was a little girl, and it was sad. Her mom ran to the car and got vaseline, whew.also there is some construction going on right now, maybe a dock or launch of some kind. Taught my son how to ride a bike there the first year it was open.

Its a great place to run or walk. They have great play ground for children. The only problem I have encountered is dogs, someone doesnt know how to take care of their dogs poop. Wish they would cut back some overgrown weeds as well.

Century Landing is still under construction however you can walk parts of it and you can tell right away it is going to be a great Park.

Le
Review №91

Lets get the hard negatives out of the way first: I sure hope that there are plans to install some permanent restrooms. Kids and porta-johns are no fun! Also, you are going to need to bring your own shade.Outside of that, this playground is pretty nifty. The equipment has a relatively wide age range, though bringing anyone under 18mo is probably going to mean you stay in the grass. As a bonus, kids can watch boats go by with little visual obstruction.As of 5-May-19, there is a broken river raft thing. Hopefully that gets fixed soon, but the actual raft portion is still pretty serviceable and rocks fine just sitting on the ground. The stump of metal where it was installed does look a bit like an accident waiting to happen

Review №92

Noce little park for the kids. Definately needs an awning to keep the sun off the euipment. It gets too hot for kids to play on. Recomend first thing in the morning or the evening when its cooler.

Loved it, just kinda seemed like an odd location, could really use some kind of pedestrian path up to Gay Street or across the river.

Gorgeous park. A lot of benches and tables and a lovely veiw of the riverfront. Knoxville doesnt seem to value its riverside so Suttree is a refreshing change in that regard. It has a nice playground area for kids with a soft ground surface material.Also the park has beautiful landscaping using native species, or so I was told.
