World's Fair Park

World's Fair Park is an urban park in downtown Knoxville covering approximately 15 acres with walking paths, fountains, gardens, and open spaces. It connects to the Second Creek Greenway, creating a continuous green corridor through the city.

The park grew from the 1982 World's Fair exhibition grounds, where international pavilions showcased energy-related innovations. This heritage still shapes the park's layout and design today.

The Tennessee Amphitheater hosts concerts throughout the year, ranging from classical performances to contemporary music that draw crowds for shared experiences. This venue shapes how visitors and locals use the park as a gathering space.

The park is accessible by public transit and walking from downtown, giving visitors multiple ways to arrive. Warmer months offer the best conditions for exploring all paths and features comfortably.

The Sunsphere rises 266 feet above the park and its observation deck offers views stretching from downtown to the Great Smoky Mountains. This striking structure remains the most recognizable relic from the World's Fair and is visible from many places around the city.
