Suttree Landing Park — Attraction in Knoxville

The Park is Beautiful, it has gave South Knoxville a Wonderful place to bring your family, your family pet and to meet up with a few friends. But here in the near future we are going to loose our precious park to 230 Apartment Dwellers. It's going to be there private park. The Apartments are going to Kill the Beautiful view instead you will see Ugly Apartments Restricting the View and Killing the Habitat for some of our furry friends. That's just Great to Look out My Kitchen Window is to see Ugly Apartments Staining My View. What are they doing to our quite neighborhood. I've lived in South Knoxville All My Life 60 years plus and here close to the Park 29 years. I was so Excited when the Park came to South Knoxville.

Before the apartments, condos and parking lot, this was a true hidden gem of South Knoxville. Since the explosion of housing, the ability to park or easily access the park has become more challenging. It’s better to park elsewhere and bike/walk here. The kid zones are good and I see a lot of families bringing their kids. It’s a good space for the size of the park.

They have added a dock to get in your kayak or canoe into the water easily. Beware of larger boats that speed through when leaving the...
