Recreational drone flying is permitted across West Hills / John Bynon Park's open fields under uncontrolled Class G airspace without needing FAA LAANC clearance, provided pilots stay completely clear of the busy tennis courts, children's playgrounds, and users on the bisecting greenway.

West Hills / John Bynon Park is a vibrant, 14-acre community park located in the heart of the West Hills neighborhood in Knoxville, Tennessee. The park is highly regarded for its diverse recreational facilities, including four baseball diamonds, lighted tennis, basketball, and pickleball courts, and multiple family picnic pavilions. The scenic, paved Jean Teague Greenway bisects the property, weaving past wide-open grassy lawns ideal for field games. Its blend of active sports complexes and vast open fields makes it a popular local gathering spot for families, athletes, and drone pilots.
