If you are open to Alcoa, the Springbrook area is one of the easiest nearby places to recommend to families. Springbrook Park and the Alcoa Duck Pond run along Springbrook Road, with park addresses listed as 1537 Dalton Street and 1300 Springbrook Road, Alcoa, TN 37701. Parks & Rec lists a lot here: a toddler playground, a playground, 4 lit tennis courts, a softball field, an outdoor fitness area, an 18,000-square-foot outdoor pool with water slide, a wading pool, a 7.7-acre duck pond for fishing, 1.4 miles of lit walking trail, and a family "Wonder Trail."
