Knoxville parks are officially winterizing for the season this week.

Cooler weather is starting to approach the Knoxville community and with the change of weather, also comes a change at local parks. All Knoxville park bathrooms and drinking fountains will be closed until spring. Garbage cans at all parks will also be put away for the season. Knoxville welcomed a new park this past spring in the Veterans District, which included the splash pad. For any questions about park use, call the Knoxville Parks and Recreation Department at 641-828-0580.
