The Local Scoop

We recommend this park due to it's ease of access in the downtown Sylva area. Conveniently located off of W. Main Street (Business Hwy 23/107) you'll find lots to do here. If you're in town with kids bring them to Mark Watson Park for some playground time or to have a nice picnic under the shelter. Make a day of it and bring your softball equipment or your tennis gear to play around before or after your picnic lunch. Be sure to stop by any of the fine establishments listing under our "Eat" section to stock up on all of your picnic goodies and be sure to tell them Stay And Play In The Smokies sent you!
