Tate-Evans Town Park offers visitors over __ acres of scenery and park amenities, including a greenway with 1.1 miles of paved path. Throughout the park, you’ll find a variety of natural ecosystems and cultivated gardens.
Gardens
In addition to the lovely beds, borders and planters that flourish throughout the park, you’ll find several themed gardens to enjoy: Founders Garden, pollinator garden, alpine garden, children’s garden… These lovely gardens are planted and tended by BE Blooms, “Friends of the Park” volunteers who love to garden and enhance the beauty of Banner Elk. “If you love our town park, come join us. If you would prefer to donate, checks can be made out to Friends of the Park and dropped off at Town Hall.”
Greenway
For those who desire a more challenging walking experience, there is an opportunity on the Greenway Trail System. Banner Elk has approximately 1.1 miles of trails. The trail begins in Tate-Evans Park and follows a couple of different paths. Learn more about the paths at: https://townofbannerelk.org/recreation/greenway-trail/
Other Park Amenities

Restroom facilities are available from April though September. The amphitheatre holds the Summer Concert Series each Thursday night June- August.
