KNOXVILLE - Knox County Parks and Recreation will begin construction of a new community building at Hardin Valley Community Park on Monday, September 28. Construction is expected to take approximately 13 months, with completion anticipated in winter 2027.

The new Hardin Valley Community Building will provide a dedicated gathering space managed by Knox County Parks and Recreation after completion. The project will include construction of the community building, a new entrance and parking lot, and access to the park’s existing inclusive playground.

Construction will be completed by Johnson & Gaylon Construction and managed by PBA Property Development.

Due to the scope of construction, Hardin Valley Community Park will be closed to the public beginning September 28 and will remain closed for the duration of the project.

“We are excited to bring a new community building to Hardin Valley that will provide a central hub for residents to gather, connect, and participate in programs and events,” said Knox County Commissioner Terry Hill. “This project represents what years of advocacy can accomplish when prioritizing the future of the communities we serve.”

Hardin Valley Community Park is located at 12734 Hickory Creek Road.
