Alexa Jane BrooksSeptember 20, 2016Beautiful park. Gorgeous sculpture garden. Go fishing for bass in the duck pond, or golf on the green, or grab your pup and head to the dog park. Enjoy!
- Enjoy watching deer and listening to coyotes yipping near sunset while walking, jogging or biking the trails. All of this within a couple of miles of downtown Nashville.
Tim EdwardsNovember 9, 2019Great nature center, classes and book reading. Plenty of parking and great art. Baseball, ducks and trails.
Design*SpongeAugust 3, 2014Go for a run with the dogs down by the river, or let them loose at the friendly dog park. Afterwards, stop at Wags & Whiskers to give ‘em a bath!
