When it comes to planning family vacations, you may want to find affordable activities and even free things to do that are both entertaining and relaxing for everyone. We wanted to share a few Pigeon Forge parks that offer incredible value and provide the ultimate Smoky Mountain experience, including two city parks that are completely free to enjoy!
1. Patriot Park
Patriot Park is a beautiful city park open year-round. There are Winterfest light displays in the winter, festivals in the autumn, and patriotic events and concerts in the summer. You will find several memorials dedicated to veterans, a beautiful pavilion, picnic areas, and a large grassy field for playing. It is a great place for children and pets to burn off some excess energy! This park is also the launching point for the Pigeon Forge Riverwalk Greenway, a riverside walking and biking trail that loops 4 miles in total, past The Island and Pigeon Forge Community Center.
2. Wear Farm City Park
Are you looking for outdoor things to do in the Smoky Mountains? Head over to Wear Farm City Park, located just off of Wears Valley Road in Pigeon Forge. With several sports fields, playgrounds, walking trails, and picnic areas, this park provides hours of family fun. It also has restrooms, covered shelters, plenty of parking, and river access, so you will not regret spending an afternoon at either one of these free Pigeon Forge parks!
3. Our Pigeon Forge Adventure Park
Of course, one of the best Pigeon Forge parks we think everyone will love is our own adventure park in Pigeon Forge! We offer year-round outdoor tubing and have the largest tubing hill in Tennessee. You fly down the hill alone or connect up to 3 tubes and soar together! Additionally, you can enjoy axe-throwing, an incredible mountain coaster, and our one-of-a-kind Ski Lift Shootout. Little ones will love our massive playground area, and our sweet shop, Sugar Bears Creamery, provides delicious snacks and treats, including our famous gourmet milkshakes. We are open 7 days a week, regardless of the weather, so can count on us to give your family the best experience possible!
4. SkyLand Ranch
While you are in the area, why not visit our sister attraction just a couple of miles down the road? SkyLand Ranch is an outdoor amusement park at the top of the mountain, right along the Parkway! It also offers incredible entertainment value for an unbeatable price, with a scenic chairlift, a thrilling mountain coaster ride, miniature animals, live music, great food, and so much more!
We hope you will add all of these Pigeon Forge parks to your vacation itinerary! The whole family will have a blast outdoors in the fresh mountain air, and the opportunities for memory-making activities are nearly endless. Get your tickets to Rowdy Bear Smoky Mountain Snowpark and our sister attraction for double the fun!
