Happy Thanksgiving!

Friends of Warriors’ Path State Park, a group of concerned citizens, decided to help the Park by establishing a non-profit organization to improve, protect, and preserve Warriors’ Path State Park through user ideas, funding, and volunteer labor. It is important to note that any money you give to Friends goes directly to benefit Warriors’ Path State Park.
Park facilities such as the golf course, campsites, and rentals do generate revenue; however this money goes into the state’s overall budget for all TN State Parks. Monies returned to the Warriors’ Path budget are not adequate to meet current or future needs for maintenance and improvements. And that is where Friends comes in – to provide to the Park for things beyond just the operating budget.
Featured in TN Magazine!
Big news from our beloved Warriors’ Path State Park! We’re honored to be featured in The Tennessee Magazine’s recent article “Parks for Everyone” by Trish Milburn, spotlighting how our Park is expanding access — from ATV wheelchairs to accessible fishing piers and play areas.

Boundless Playground Receives Grant
On Saturday, November 8, Jennifer Salyer of Barge Design Solutions Inc. presented Friends of Warriors’ Path State Park a $10,000 grant check. This award from Barge Community Fund is to be used for Darrell’s Dream Boundless Playground. Mary Steadman, Boundless Playground Chair, applied for a $5,000 grant with Barge, and Barge liked the project so much they decided to double the grant!
Friends of Warriors’ appreciates the great support from Barge Design Solutions, Inc., not only with this grant and working at the Fall Day of Caring but also for supporting our October 2025 annual golf tournament.
Fun fact – Jennifer was the design/landscape architect who originally worked on the Boundless Playground 2005-2007.

Fall 2025 Day of Caring – Thanks, Volunteers!

Everyone did an amazing job! Below are links to pictures taken and WJHL report. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1sIctK3DvWmlrDHDwjx63ZVfVwkN0yn0t?usp=share_link
