Concord Park

Love this dog park, mainly because it’s attached to the lake and they have a dog dock for them to jump off. They have a small dog area and a large dog area then the lake area. Best dog park in Knoxville!

Hands down this is the best dog park in town. Separate areas for bigger and smaller dogs is nice. The bathroom area is such a great convenience and every time I come the wash area is super clean. The parking is easy and it’s close to the trialhead and the dog park entrance.
I rate it more like 3.5 stars from a hiking perspective. For me, Concord Park is a little bit of a letdown. I’ve hiked every single trail on the hill and all I can do is go at it 2 times to get a real workout. From a rigor perspective these trails are more for fun than for challenge. The winter views along the lakeside trail are nice since you can see the lake and the colorful houses but the growing brush just stacks you closer and closer to the edge. Don’t fall in the water. The inner loop trails are. well…inner loops. The scenic views diminish and the narrow paths drown amidst all the wooded trees. Some of these inner trails have hills and climbs but they are mid-​level challenging. It’s a great place to see kiddos at their first run on a mountain bike and family members doing an easy stroll. This is just me, though.

Very enjoyable location! Weather was perfect on Christmas Eve so we were able to enjoy this gem and what t had to offer including the lake.

Absolutly the best dog park we have been too! The only thing to make this the absolute PERFECT place would be to add some agility equitment and a self serve dog wash.
PetSafe does such an awesome job with their Knoxville Parks. Knoxville is a dog park lovers dream!

Love everything about this park. They are having a Dragon Boat Festival today here.
They have something for everyone here.
Even the furbabies.
The quite side of West Knoxville.

This is my absolute favorite park in the Knoxville area… there’s something for everyone here. I’m especially in LOVE with the dog area, as is my boxer, Harley. This is a massive dog park by Knoxville standards, and it even has a fenced off water area (part of the marina) for the dogs to frolic in! There’s also a nature trail to hike with your dog, or to let him/​her explore off lead. What a great way to spend a pretty day!

Great park! Good course, dog park, soccer field, marina, and trails for biking, walking, and running. There are many trails inside the trail system and are fairly long, especially if you do all at once. The dog park is fairly new and dogs love it. 9 hole golf course for warm up or practice with a par of 3 on each hole. The marina is right next to a restaurant called lakeside tavern which has great food and an awesome outside seating and great atmosphere. Definitely recommend this place to visit fairly often if you live in the area.

Love this dog park. Small dogs and big dogs are separate. Nice bathroom facility, easy parking, poopie bags provided. Just need a few more trees for shade and benches!

One of my favorite spots in West Knoxville is a quiet park, right off Northshore Drive. Running trails and woods, along a stunning lake.
If you’re not the jogging type, and just want a quiet place to read by a lake: drive to the intersection of Northshore Drive and Pool Rd, park in the lot south of Northshore. Walk toward the soccer field and follow the track to the lake. Jutting out into the lake is a pretty piece of land, with a solitary bench facing the water. Perfect place for relaxing with a good book.
Enjoy!
PS: Random bit of history: the lake was actually created in the 1940’s by TVA. A historic town, Concord, used to be where the lake was. If you go to Lakeside Tavern, the restaurant in the park, they have some before and after photos. If you drive along the north side of the lake, you can still see structures from the 1800’s along the railroad track.
