Kingsport, home to Bays Mountain Park, over the years has expanded its outdoor recreational resources to include updated city parks, bicycle lanes on major streets, and its impressive 10-mile linear park known as the Greenbelt.聽It is this focus that drives a master plan to make Kingsport an outdoor recreation destination that will benefit residents directly, as well as provide economic stimulus.
