Centennial Park with children

Centennial Park Centennial Park provides an outdoor pause around Lake Watauga and connects lawns, gardens, monuments and the Parthenon. Centennial Park combines a lake, play spaces, memory of the 1897 Exposition and a monumental Parthenon replica. Families can observe how the city used classical references to represent progress and power and ask who was excluded from that image. Events, heat and pedestrian traffic make choosing one section sensible.
