Ross's Landing and Riverfront Playground

image

Ross's Landing is on the river side of The Passage and the Tennessee Aquarium. Ross's Landing has a river pier, a natural amphitheater, boat docks, and a beautiful view of the river. It's a great place to walk, read and because of a new playground just west of the main part of Ross's Landing it's also a great place to play!

Riverfront Playground is a wheel chair accessible play structure that accomplishes a lot in a small amount of space.

PICNIC? yes

SWIMSUIT? no (although the Water Steps are just a block down the road!)

COST? no cost

AUTHOR'S RATING? four and a half out of five stars

HOURS? none

The playground has a wood chip base, swings, a climbing wall and the main structure. My kiddos gave it a high rating as an obstacle course--they love for me to time them as they race up the ramp, over the bridge, along the bar, down the slide and over the rock wall.

The views are gorgeous, even on a hazy morning. 

Looking to the east of the park you can see a hill that is excellent for cardboard sliding! 

Beside the park there are a few picnic tables, and behind the park is the entrance to the Southern Belle, a Tennessee River cruise boat with daily lunch, dinner and sightseeing cruises.
