Fountain City Town Hall is sponsoring
the fundraising event in conjunction with the Legacy Parks
Foundation with the ultimate goal of raising $130,000 for the
Fountain City Skate Park to be located on Knox Rd. between Maple
Dr. and N. Broadway. It will be a plaza-style skate park with
two-levels, a small gazebo, parking, a bleacher, sidewalks, and
landscaping.
The City of Knoxville
is also seeking separate funding for an adjacent greenway, which
will help to create new neighborhood park along First Creek that
all Fountain Citians can be proud of and enjoy
The park will also serve skateboarders
in the North Knoxville, Inskip, and Halls communities and will
function as a satellite park to the regional Knoxville Skatepark
being built within Tyson Park.

Fountain City Connections is an organization that has formed by
a group of people who have come together for the purpose of
making Fountain City a more pedestrian-friendly place. Our
specific focus is to promote the development of sidewalks and
greenways, as well as educational programs which will draw the
attention of both pedestrians and drivers to safe practices.
In short, we want safe places for people to walk and run, etc.
for healthier, and ultimately, what we believe will be happier
lives.
Fountain City Connections (initially the Fountain City
Sidewalks and Greenways Task Force) originated at the pedestrian
workshop (April 2006) from the challenge by noted pedestrian
advocate Mark Fenton to "do something" to affect change in our
community. |
