John Sevier Park

They really did it right with this playground — the shade covers over the equipment make a huge difference on a hot Tennessee summer day, and there’s enough tree cover that parents can actually sit comfortably without roasting. The musical equipment is a genuine hit with younger kids, and the inclusive design means it works for a wide range of abilities, not just the typical playground crowd. Swings, picnic tables, clean restrooms — the basics are all covered and actually maintained. Honestly one of the better spots in Maryville for families with kids under 12.
