Despite its recent rise as an urban town, the city of Nashville is packed with green spaces and beautiful outdoor spots that give visitors and residents the chance to enjoy the region’s natural beauty. Just 10 minutes outside of the downtown scene there are plenty of parks and nature trails that are cherished spots for a day spent hiking, bicycling, or enjoying a picnic. Start planning your visit to these charming outdoor destinations.
Centennial Park
Centennial Park is probably the best-known park in the area and features over 130 acres of green space, an amphitheater, and the famous Nashville Parthenon. The park’s central location makes it easily accessible from all over the city, but the crowds and noise might not make it the best for those hoping for a quiet, isolated day. Centennial Park is an ideal spot for a more active get-together with family or friends.
Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park
Constructed in honor of the state’s 200th year anniversary, the Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park is a popular spot for tourists and residents that want to enjoy a little history. This park closely resembles the National Mall in Washington, D.C., and offers visitors striking views of the Tennessee State Capitol. On the four sides of this 19-acre park, visitors can find First Tennessee Park, the Capitol steps, Nashville Farmers’ Market, and the lively Germantown neighborhood.
Cumberland Park
This family-friendly park is a go-to if you’re looking to cool off on a hot summer day. Resting on the east bank of the Cumberland River, the park incorporates innovative play spaces and water features for children and families across 6.5 acres. Cumberland Park also includes a rock climbing wall and an outdoor amphitheater that holds over 1,200 people.
