There's not a whole lot publicly known about this park. But I can absolutely tell you why that is!…read more The city of Berry Hill is a satellite city in Nashville. The land itself was originally owned by William Wells Berry (1813-1876) who was the President of Third National Bank, and a wealthy landowner in town. In 1950, the people of this neighborhood voted to become it's own city, splitting from the incorporated city of Nashville. The city, in 1950, at its founding, was 1 square mile, and had less than 1,300 residents. Since then, many residents have moved out, selling their homes to local businesses. Today, there are less than 600 residents. It's important to know this, as this area of town is very quaint, with many 1950's style homes, many of which maintain that structure and charm while housing businesses. You may find yourself shopping for jewelry in what used to be someone's bedroom. While still a city, since Nashville was incorporated as a metropolitan city, it governs over Berry Hill much like a county. There are three parks in the center of Berry Hill. Iris Park is a very cute little playground. I really enjoyed the fact that the playground equipment is unique, and not the same, industrialized plasticy equipment you will find in every metro Nashville park. Berry Hill has a lot of personality, so it makes sense that its park would too.

As I make my way through Nashville Parks, West Park was a recent stop after an event in The…read moreNations. Situated on Morrow Road and running parralel to Briley Parkway, West Park is a smaller park featuring two large fields, one in a baseball diamond and the other a large multi-purpose fields, a community center, covered patio/picnic area with restrooms, playgrounds and a 1.1 mile walking trail, the Richland Creek Greenway, that runs alongside the creek and essentially creates a circle around the park. I popped by the walking/jogging trail, which at 1.1 miles takes you around the full park including by the water treatment facility. The trail does get a bit disconnected near the water treatment facility where you have to cross the road and either utilize the sidewalk or the rock path to reconnect and complete the full circle. Parking is in two separate lots that do not connect. The one behind the softball/baseball field is a tad smaller than the other and it fills up rather quickly. The park was well taken care, in good repair and a good spot for getting outdoors for a walk, run or game of some sorts. The location alongside the water facility is a bit odd, but it adds a bit of character. Overall, solid park!

I was there on a Thursday summer evening and it wasn't crowded at all. I was surprised at the size of the structure, let's call it playground 2. It seems like it was built for 8-12 year olds but my 3 & 4 year old seemed to do fine on it. I will say my 1 year old wanted to play on it and it was way too dangerous - too many places to fall out. That's what would keep me from coming back. Playground 1 was clearly for little kids (ages 1-3) but the question is: will your younger child stay on the smaller one or keep wanting to go to the bigger structure? Swings were nice, benches were nice, park was clean and everything was new. There is a very small parking lot next to it, lots of parking all around at the golf course and by the baseball fields, and then lots of street parking. Overall, I'd say this park is best for kids 5+. It's workable for younger kids but wasn't suitable for my family with multiple young children.

No, the sound of continuous traffic crushes that illusion, but that traffic, that hustle and bustle, is exactly why we need parks, both big and small, to simply just get some grass under our feet and decompress. The center point of the park is the Hermitage Park Sundial, a sculpture by Joe Sorci called Clear for Landing made of aircraft wings. All in all, pretty cool and I am glad I got to stand before it. One thing that stood out, at least to me, was a child scrawling "Lena was here" in a child's scrawl. Hopefully this park will remain within her memories throughout her life, a place of happy summertime laughter and the simple joy of childhood. The park also boasts a community center. Again, a tie to bond the people it serves. All on all, this park serves this community well. While there are drawbacks, the park stands in defiance of urban sprawl or perhaps it stands in celebration of a growing city, serving as a respite from the concrete and asphalt. I am glad that I visited. While perhaps I did not write my name on the sidewalk, like that child named Lena, I was here and I am better for it.

There's also a few sand pits for kids to play in and dig for fossils. The parking here is tight, but there are two lots. I would recommend the lot near the rec center, there are way more available spots. Looking to have a picnic? You're in luck!, there is plenty of open space and a ton of picnic tables. Make sure to take a walk on the wooden tree bridge near the center of the park!

With the eyes that have been on Cleveland Park of late, I am surprised to be the first review for this neighborhood destination. 'Discovering' what the park had to offer was a joy; it's a perfect spot for nearby locals. One thing I enjoyed about the park is that it was utilized. People who have been in the neighborhood for a while were throughout the community center, working the front desk, playing basketball and ping pong, playing with their kids on the playground... I hope the neighborhood can hold on to the character and community it enjoyed before the boom... because the park is a great neighborhood resource. Nestled squarely within the Cleveland Park neighborhood (and a nice smattering of original homes and the new abominations developers are hellbent on popping up all over the city), the actual park is a few city blocks of greenery, mature trees, 2 baseball diamonds, a soccer field, community center, swimming pool (!), indoor & outdoor basketball courts, meeting rooms, foosball, and a pavilion for lunching. With a generous parking lot, I was impressed with how well maintained the park is and how deceptively large it is. In roaming all around it, I was surprised to find more hidden gems. There's a walking trail that abuts a tennis court that could use some TLC. It also overlooks train tracks (the vegetation hides them for the most most). But this is, truly, a neighborhood park. It's extremely well-planned and offers resources for residents to enjoy as a community. Some of the parks/green spaces we explore are more of the 'open field' sort -- and that's fine. There's a lot of beauty in wide open spaces. But to come across a park that had a specific plan, a conception borne of need and execution that delivers -- and on the east side -- well, it's a joy to encounter. Cleveland Park (the park) is a joy. Explore your metro and discover it for yourself.

The history of the property isn't very well documented, but in my research, I did find a lot of criminal activity here in the 1970s and 1980s. With East Nashville being gentrified over the last ten years, it will be interesting to see what changes happen to this park in the next few years, and how much money gets pumped into it. I did enjoy the trail along the perimeter, and the layout is very typical of Ben West-era parks.

I came by for the walking path, which is .25 miles long and circles around the perimeter of the park. Inside that perimeter sits a bit of open green space, a covered picnic area, basketball course and a playground. There are no restrooms or water fountains here. The park is no frills and offers a small space for the neighborhood to get out and about in. Overall, keeps me outside and in the super walkable East Nashville neighborhoods, so I am a fan.

There's also a small basketball court, a swing set, and field to run around. There isn't a designated parking area, just street parking. The park was pretty clean when we were here, except for a empty water bottles on the basketball court. This does seem like the neighborhood hot spot for dog bathrooms breaks so watch your shoes while running around in the field. There's plenty of trash cans here so hopefully people cleanup after their pets. My only real concern is the park is not fully gated in, so kids can easily run into the street and the cars driving near the park do not slow down. Stay vigilante!
