Urban Wilderness Gateway Park Groundbreaking

The City of Knoxville held a groundbreaking for the new Urban Wilderness Gateway Park on Wednesday September 11th at Baker Creek Preserve. The new Gateway Park will serve as a grand “front porch” entrance to the Urban Wilderness at the southern end of James White Parkway. 

The Gateway Park will introduce visitors to Knoxville’s 1,000-acre Urban Wilderness recreation area, offering self-guided information and mapping that will give people all kinds of outdoor options, depending on which adventure they choose.  

The new park is also envisioned to be a catalyst for continuing to revitalize the South Waterfront and as a connection between East and South Knoxville and downtown through greenways and parkland.

Sanders Pace Architecture is proud to be involved in the project, stay tuned for more updates on the project!
