Maryville’s Play Station

If you’ve got kids anywhere from crawling age to tweens, this indoor spot in Alcoa is worth knowing about. The climbing structure and slides keep older kids busy while the enclosed play area means you’re not chasing toddlers across a parking lot. Restrooms, a baby changing station, and actual benches for parents — someone clearly thought this through. It books up for birthday parties pretty regularly, which tells you something about how families around here feel about it. Parking’s easy, the place stays clean, and there’s a basketball court if anyone needs to burn off extra energy.
