Pocket Park

Thank you!

The Forest Heights Neighborhood Association and City of Knoxville Mayor Indya Kincannon celebrated the installation of new playground equipment in the Forest Heights Pocket Park on Thursday, January 12.

Special thanks to everyone who attended the ribbon-cutting event, including park donors, partner organizations, Knoxville City Council members, neighbors, and community members.

The new playground is already being enjoyed by local children and will be a source of fun for years to come. Thanks again to all who supported this community project!
