With its variety of beautiful settings – from green meadows to hilltops with mountain and river views to Marble Hall and Pavilion – Lakeshore Park provides the perfect environment for your party or special event. Just minutes from downtown Knoxville and easily accessible from McGhee-Tyson airport, Lakeshore Park offers convenience and options for everyone. Whether the occasion is a small corporate meeting, a birthday party, or a large, lavish wedding, multiple outdoor options are available to you within our 185-acre park.
Significant construction is taking place in the park from Spring 2022 through early 2024. All event requests during this time must schedule a site visit with staff at the park before rental contracts are finalized.
All rentals require payment of a refundable security deposit that is returned pending the state of the facility and removal of all event trash from the park. All events involving 100 people or more require a minimum $500 security deposit.
