Bridge of Heroes to Honor Healthcare Workers at Gatlinburg SkyLift Park in May

April 29, 2021 - GATLINBURG, Tenn. — To honor our front-line heroes, Gatlinburg SkyLift Park, home of North America’s longest pedestrian suspension bridge, will offer free admission to healthcare workers and first responders for three days in May.

“The SkyLift Park family is so grateful for the difficult work the healthcare community continues to do—especially during this painful year of the pandemic,” said Randy Watson, general manager. “We want to say thank you to the first responders and hospital staff who have done so much for everyone else.”

SkyLift Park will provide free admission, with employment identification, to all healthcare workers and first responders Tuesday through Thursday, May 11-13, 2021.

Also during National Hospital Week, May 10-16, the SkyPark will create a Bridge of Heroes, when the lights on the SkyBridge and SkyPark will turn red and white to honor healthcare workers.

The free ticket is limited to healthcare workers only and does not include family and friends. Additional tickets are available at the Gatlinburg SkyLift Park ticket office or online at gatlinburgskylift.com.
