Knox Town Park is a four-season recreational site in the center of Knox. The park's main entrance is behind Knox Fire Department and Town Hall on Berne-Altamont Road (Route 156). The park extends down the hill to Street Road. The lower entrance on Street Road is between Knox Cave Road (County Route 252) and Knox-Gallupville Road (County Route 255). The park has picnic pavilions, a children's playground, a basketball court, tennis courts, soccer fields, baseball fields, a hill for sledding, and walking paths. A walk along the paths takes you through wetlands, by old stone walls, past a beaver dam, through fields, and near a mini-escarpment. The playground and recreational development started as a community effort about 1977, and many improvements have been made since then.
