About the Venue

Rotary Park is one of Johnson City's best-established family park stops, pairing a dedicated inclusive playground with practical amenities that make everyday visits easier. The 10.4-acre park includes six covered picnic shelters, restrooms, picnic tables, a multi-use field, and 'Splash Town,' a splash pad with multiple water sequences in season. It works well for mixed-age families who want an easy outdoor outing with room to picnic, cool off, and let kids play without a complicated plan.
