Volunteer Landing

[3][4] Per the recommendations of this task force, a three-phase project to develop Volunteer Landing began in 1995 and continued through 1996.[5] Upon this completion, Volunteer Landing had a boardwalk, a central pavilion and plaza, a pedestrian bridge, and two new public parks.[5] The Regas Riverfront Tavern/Restaurant, which seated about 250 people and had a banquet facility with capacity of 300, was also completed in 2000, concluding the waterfront development project.[7] They are part of the downtown greenway system which is 19 miles long and runs east to west.[6] The one-mile walk features several attractions such as train rides, riverboat cruises, restaurants, and a marina.[7] During University of Tennessee (UT) home football games, the Vol Navy lines the river at Volunteer Landing as part of a tailgating tradition.
