A fresh view: Urban park nearly ready for turnover to city - News Sentinel Story:

Legacy Parks bought the 69 acres on a ridge overlooking Fort Loudoun Lake and downtown Knoxville in 2009 for $1.5 million. Within the next two months, the foundation will give the land to the city, which plans to develop walking trails across the Civil War battle site.

“The bike path will be along the bottom, so this will be a passive park for people to come read a book and meander around and have the most beautiful view of downtown Knoxville and the river ever,” Pavlis said.
