We have several outdoor spaces on campus where students can enjoy relaxation and recreation. Studies have linked outside time with many great benefits, such as improved mental clarity, increased productivity, mental health benefits, and enhanced creativity. Click below for more information about different outdoor campus spaces.

Located behind the Tech Food Pantry at Tech Village, this garden supplies fresh, organic produce to the Tennessee Tech Food Pantry. The garden is also used as a service learning and educational opportunity for Tennessee Tech students and faculty.
- Sherlock Park
Located behind the Ashraf-Islam building, Sherlock park is a beautiful green space central to campus with a walking perimeter and peaceful lake with a central fountain.

Walton Park, also known as the president's lawn, is located in front of the Bryan Fine Arts building across N. Dixie. It is a large open space, perfect for recreation, and has a walking perimeter surrounded with beautiful trees such as the October Glory that are simply stunning in the fall.
