There is plenty of convenient parking nearby. If you’re not familiar with the downtown area, we recommend the Market Square garage. Here are some ways to get to the Market Square garage and park:
- From the west (West Knoxville, Oak Ridge, Lenoir City): Take I-40 east to the James White Parkway exit. From JWP, take the first exit (Summit Hill Drive); at the bottom of the ramp, turn right onto Summit Hill. Take Summit Hill west to the light at Walnut Street. Turn left onto Walnut, and look for the entrance to the Market Square garage on the left.

- From the south via Chapman Highway: Take Chapman Highway north; follow the detour signs onto James White Parkway. Exit JWP at Riverside Drive/Hill Avenue, and follow the signs to Hill Avenue. At the first light, turn left onto Hill. Follow Hill around (past the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame and James White’s Fort) to the traffic light at Gay Street. Turn right and drive north on Gay to the light at Wall; turn left onto Wall, and look for the entrance to the Market Square garage on the left (past Market Square).

Go straight through the next light, where Western turns into Summit Hill Drive. Take the second right onto Walnut Street, and look for the entrance to the Market Square garage on the left.
There are two sets of elevators and stairs to get out of the garage. If you do that, and find yourself on Wall near TVA, then head to your right on Wall, turn right, and walk through Market Square to Union. If you find yourself on Walnut across from a parking lot, turn left on Walnut, then right on Union, and walk to Market Square
