Lakeshore Park is a 185-acre park located along the Tennessee River with expansive views of the Tennessee River and the Great Smoky Mountains. Formerly the site of a state-owned mental health institute, the land was acquired by Lakeshore Park Conservancy and repurposed as a public park in 1996. After an updated Landscape Masterplan was developed, Sanders Pace Architecture was selected to join a team led by Nelson Byrd Woltz to provide design services for three new park pavilion structures: a new Fieldhouse adjacent to a variety of playing fields; a new Garden Pavilion adjacent to a collection of park gardens; and a Playground Pavilion adjacent to a new nature playscape. Individually, the pavilions each serve as a recreational hub and provide support functions for adjacent park programming and activities. Taken together, the family of pavilions introduce a dignified and aspirational civic vocabulary, establishing a vital placemaking strategy that is core to the identity of the park itself.
