ATTENTION! GREENWAY DETOUR

A major Knoxville Utilities Board project at the mouth of Third Creek near the Kuwahee Wastewater Treatment Plant will affect the Third Creek Greenway for about a year. A section of the greenway will be closed, but there will be a detour through the UT Ag Campus to Neyland Drive. Greenway users will be diverted in that new direction until KUB finishes its project in spring 2011.

Directions: To get to the southern entrance of the park, go west on Cumberland Avenue past University of Tennessee's campus; after going under the overpass the park entrance will be on the right. To get to the western entrance of the park, go west on Cumberland Avenue at the Neyland Drive and Concord Street intersect; turn right onto Concord Street; park entrance will be on your right.

Third Creek Greenway begins in Bearden on Forrest Park Blvd. It winds southeast along Third Creek and connects to the 3.0-mile Neyland Greenway at the mouth of Third Creek on the Tennessee River. The mid-portion of Third Creek Greenway bisects the 26-acre Tyson Park where there are tennis courts, the Knoxville Skatepark, a large accessible playground and picnic facilities.

This greenway connects with Sequoyah, Bearden Village, and Neyland Greenways.

Third Creek Greenway is also part of the City's CrossKnox 15k Race, which runs from Haley Heritage Square in East Knoxville all the way to Bearden Elementary School in West Knoxville.
