Sure, there is a lot to do in Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and Sevierville, but on a nice day, you should be outside in the fresh Smoky Mountains air in one of our local city parks. Of course, when you came to the Smokies you should still come visit the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Even though people come from around the world to enjoy our beloved national park, most do not know about our wonderful local parks and to keep it that way, let's keep these gems as our secret!
