Top Rated Parks to Visit in Walland

"This is probably the most popular spot on our list, but the neat thing is the number of places you can capture a shot in World's Fair Park that will keep your feed full for days. To achieve the look in this fun and colorful picture by Instagram influencer Ashley Renne, go to the south side of the park where you'll find boulders, a creek, pond and trees. It's a mix of nature and city all in one snap!"

"World’s Fair Park is another fun destination to take a stroll through. The park surrounding the Sunsphere holds the Tennessee Amphitheater (the only other surviving structure in Knoxville from the 1982 World’s Fair), a lake, a sizable splash-pad fountain, and lots of lush green lawn perfect for hosting festivals and events."

"A photo posted by Scott Groth (@scott.groth) on Oct 30, 2016 at 8:34pm PDT. The 87-acre Sequoyah Hills Park is a runner’s dream come true, perched on the river with scenic views along its paved surface’s entire length. What makes it great : The Sequoyah Greenway, which is unpaved, runs alongside the park and branches off past Kingston Pike, offering lengthier stretches for those who want to get a few miles in, and for visitors who’d rather get on the water than lace up their running shoes, the park offers two put-ins at the river’s edge."

"If you’re up for a solid 12-mile (roundtrip) challenge, head to Sequoyah Park and back. Otherwise, enjoy the relative calm of the Tennessee at your own pace until you’re ready to shower up and ease into the evening with a hearty dinner before a night out on the town.7:00 pm"

"If the timing is right, attend a game of vintage base ball (yes, two words) and cheer on the home team, the Knoxville Holstons. The team is part of the Tennessee Association of Vintage Base Ball, which promotes living history, cultural enrichment, honor, respectful conduct, and community pride. It’s an eye-opening experience to see the teams clad in 19th century-style uniforms, adhering to the rules and equipment standards of the day."

"On our final morning in Knoxville, we had several options for breakfast—Makers donuts and Status Dough being two worthy contenders (and spots you absolutely must try if you have a sweet tooth), in addition to my regular, tried-and-true haunt, Tomato Head—but I can never resist the crepes at French Market, which has relocated from Gay Street to the other side of the square and, ultimately, won out in a battle of the breakfast foods. I still don’t regret that decision one bit!"

"A great place for dinner in Market Square is Tomato Head, they have yummy pizzas and a nice range of sandwiches, salads, and sweets. Read More – 12 cool things to do in Knoxville Tennessee"

"If you’re more in the mood for a pizza, salad, or sandwich, try The Tomato Head in Market Square. It’s right near your next stop anyway."

"Another breakfast institution in the area, Flapjack’s Pancake Cabin is a Tennessee mini-chain with a half dozen locations around the Smokies, all housed in literal wooden cabins. The Pigeon Forge location, right on the main U.S. 441 corridor that enters the national park from the northwest, is convenient for pregaming before a hike. Sure, you could feast on chicken fried steak or chicken biscuit skillets, but there’s no better way to fuel up for a day in the mountains than with a plate of bear cakes — bear-shaped smiley-face pancakes with a chocolate syrup smile and chocolate chip eyes."

"Pancakes are a staple breakfast food in the Smoky Mountains, so there are no shortage of pancake houses for you to choose from. Flapjack’s Pancake Cabin is one of the best places to go, and with locations in Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and Sevierville, you can easily find one close to you!. The menu includes everything from Elkmont Egg Platters to Campfire Skillets — and of course pancakes!"

"A popular place to get the best breakfast in Gatlinburg is the Flapjacks. You can get plain pancakes and chocolate chip pancakes. There’s also crepes full of all the fresh fruits you love."
