Thanks to your support, Friends of Warriors’ and the Park Staff have been able to partner and provide a new facility for the Raptors used in Ranger Marty Silver’s educational programs! As soon as the finishing touches are added and the facility is approved by the State, the raptors can again be showcased in educational programs. Your donations have made this possible.
We are thrilled to introduce you to the newly designed and developed Friends of Warriors’ Path State Park website, created by Bear Web Design. Our new online space is designed to be more user-friendly, informative, and engaging—reflecting our dedication to preserving and enhancing the beauty and facilities of Warriors’ Path State Park.
Volunteers are needed to help finish adding turf to the disc golf tee pads. Contact Tim Barr if you would be willing to help premierdesigndg@gmail.com or 423-367-7334. We just need some extra hands – you don’t have to know the game.

We are always glad to have groups come out to the Park to volunteer on the Day of Caring, and we are equally glad to have individuals come out and join in!
