Connected by Nature
Legacy Parks stewards natural and financial resources to create unique outdoor projects.
We work collaboratively to preserve green space, expand parks, create trails, and increase access to our rivers. Since 2007, Legacy Parks has raised over $11 million for parks and open space, helped conserve 1,000 acres of forest and farmland, and added over 700 acres of parkland in Knox County.
