Laurel Run Park
Church Hill, Tennessee
Laurel Run Park is a really nice place to relax.
It is located on the Holston River. It is a mostly a nature park but has a playground, picnic areas, walking track, basketball courts, and more.
The movie "The River " starring Mel Gibson and Sissy Spacek was filmed on this location.
Much of the movie was on this 440 acres of land purchased by Universal Studios. It was then cleared and turned into working farms in four weeks for the movie. Universal Studios then turned over the land to the city and is now known as Laurel Run Park.
