City Parks
Athens, Tennessee maintains a lively parks system with eleven unique parks and trails that blend recreation, history, and natural beauty. From the expansive Athens Regional Park with its sports fields, lake, and walking paths, to the converted railbed of the Eureka Trail offering space for hiking, biking, and horseback riding, the city provides spaces for both play and reflection. Families enjoy Ingleside Recreation Complex with its pool, courts, and skate park, while smaller neighborhood parks add local character. Together, these parks create a network of green spaces that encourage community connection, healthy living, and enjoyment of the outdoors.
