The perfect place to take your pup out to socialize!…read more I had seen this place all over my socials, so I finally decided to try a monthly membership. My dog has had the best time getting to run around and play, and the staff here are incredible at keeping the dogs safe and the ground clean. My dog and I have both enjoyed some snacks/drinks here. Her favorite has been the pumpkin pup cup, and I love their cranberry marg. Their pretzel sticks were also quite delicious! Perfectly crispy with just the right amount of salt and butter on top. Honeybun and I will definitely be using our month membership to the fullest!

They have different events as well such as trivia and live music. Overall the area was very clean considering the amount of dog there. They have so many drink options both alcoholic and non alcoholic. They also have a pretty solid menu as well. I tried the hot chicken with sweet potato fries. The chicken was juicy and wasn't spicy but had a good flavor. They provided sauces on the side like ketchup, some kind of dill ranch or aioli, and mustard. I do wish they would've chosen a different bun. The option provided was a bit dry. One thing about ordering food is that there is the risk of a dog stealing a bite if provided the opportunity so just keep that in mind.

They just recently paved the park in between them, so you will have a pretty clutch walking loop if your dog prefers to wander around with you more than the dog park itself. They have great water fountains in each section and plenty of doggie bags with hand sanitizer (at least in the small dog section) as well as ample trash cans. I would recommend coming when the grass has grown since the dirt gets pretty dusty in the middle of summer. Also, I would avoid this area after a rain since it becomes pretty muddy. Excellent parking lot off of the side street.

There's a fountain inside and outside of the park, and poop bags are provided along the fence. There are also a few benches and even a picnic table in the park, so it's really nice for humans to hang out too. The people who come here are friendly and always happy to talk about their dogs. They're mostly good and responsible dog owners. Parking is never a problem either (though I'll say I've only ever come on weekdays), and it's just a few yards to the fence of the dog park. The only thing is that this park is a mixed large and small breed dog park. Most of the dogs are on the medium or large size, but you'll sometimes get VERY small dogs, so owners and dogs alike have to be very careful at times, especially when the pups are running around chasing each other. I also noticed that some people bring small children here, which is technically against the rules. For the safety of both the dogs and children, I just don't recommend bringing small kids here because you never know how either will react to the other. My sister and I come here often and her neighbors love it too. I highly recommend this place, and it's nice for a walk around the dam as well.

Only thing I don't care for with this park is the lack of inherent shade for the dogs! Otherwise,…read morethe wide open space, mixture of pebbles and grass make for a great park. It's rather large so if you don't keep an eye on your dog you could lose them for a moment lol

There's a big children's playground, a sand volleyball courts, and picnic benches. There's a dog park as well. There are free parking spots right along the curb of the park, with 2 hours limit. At the entrance of the park there are multiple gates built with steel beams. The park seemed to be safe and well lit. Even after dark, we were comfortably hanging out in the playground and taking pictures around the park. The underpass with the big mural has big light posts on each side, so the pictures come out nice even at night time. The murals at this park are so colorful. Of course the most famous one is the 5 famous singers. Then there's the graffiti one at the railway underpass. Then there are multiple other colorful ones that look really amazing. We took a lot of pictures in front of all of these amazing arts.

When I vacationed in Nashville for a week with my family, we spent a lot of time in Riverfront…read morePark. If you are unfamiliar with Riverfront Park, it is a linear park that parallels the Cumberland River and First Avenue in Downtown. It features the Light Meander sculpture, Ascend Amphitheatre, Cumberland River Greenway, Betty Brown Tree Trail and Arboretum, Fort Nashborough, and a first-rate Cumberland River view of the Nissan Stadium, Ghost Rider, and John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge. In the vicinity of Broadway, I consider Riverfront Park a must see attraction. It takes very little effort to see it owing to the easternmost point of Broadway. When I was walking eastbound along Broadway, at the very end I saw Riverfront Park with the Ghost Rider. When we arrived at the end of Broadway, we spent time here sitting on the bench taking in the city. It was a scenic spot that was ideal for picture taking. Being into taking pictures there were two exceptional angles to capture. Looking to the east, I took pictures of the Cumberland River with Nissan Stadium, Ghost Rider, and The John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge. Looking to the west, I photographed Broadway from the easternmost point and across the Honkey Tonk Highway segment all the way up the hill. I took these photos in the day, at sundown,and nighttime. This was a scenic spot to hang out with my family. Because it is the easternmost point of Broadway, it is occupied with people. In the beginning of our vacation, soccer fans celebrated here. On Saturday night when Broadway was overly saturated with partygoers, this was a nice spot for us to take in the action and scenery being only footsteps away from the action. We also visited Riverfront Park to board the Gray Line Nashville Tour. We didn't spend much time there on that day on account of the humidity. On one morning when I was alone, I walked Riverfront Park from Korean Veteran's Boulevard to Commerce Street. Unfortunately both the Ascend Amphitheatre and Fort Nashborough were closed off. I did get to set my eyes on some attractive plants with description signs along the Betty Brown Tree Trail and Arboretum in addition to the Light Meander Sculpture with Demonbreun Street and surrounding towers. Being into hiking I was interested in seeing the Cumberland River Greenway. However, there seemed to be a lack of signage for the Cumberland River Greenway. I was left asking myself, " If I wanted to partake in a regional hike, where is the connection? When I proceeded north on the walking path around the open grass and towering Ligh Meander sculpture that overlooks the easternmost point of Demonbreun Street, the walking path dumped me onto the 1st Avenue sidewalk and under the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge. On this segment, the railroad and vegetation block the view of the river. When I looked to the left under the bridge there were unhoused individuals lying down. Approaching Broadway, the walking path deviated from the 1st Avenue sidewalk and back to the linear park. I continued north on 1st Avenue past a closed off Fort Nashborough and onto Commerce Street. That was my walking adventure here. As far as safety, I felt that it is safe at the easternmost point of Broadway. In essence it is a spot where Broadway merges with the Cumberland River. There is safety in numbers. I also felt that the easternmost point of Demonbreun Street was also safe. I feel the safety goes down in the less populated spots during less busy times of the day. That includes by Fort Nashborough where I started to speedwalk because I felt uncomfortable being isolated in a big city. Another safety factor is the summertime heat, humidity, and rainstorms. A plus is that it is close to the airconditioned restaurants and honkey tonks along Broadway including Hard Rock Cafe and Acme. When it got to be too hot to spend time here, we walked a few blocks to the Assembly Food Hall. I give Riverfront Park in the vicinity of the easternmost point of Broadway: Four Stars. It is a prime Downtown Nashville scenic location that bridges the Honkey Tonk Highway to the Cumberland River.

We always enter from the "access trail" side. It is a smaller parking lot but we like coming in from this side. Depending on what time you get there, you may have a slight wait time to park but it is usually pretty quick and efficient. We usually arrive before 8:30am and have had no problem finding a spot. There are I believe at least 2 handicap spots at this entrance. They also have bathrooms available that are always clean and kept up. At the main entrance, entering from (otter creek). There is a welcome center with information and a small gift shop. Before bringing a stroller we would always go on the trail through the park woods but now with our baby and taking a stroller we take the paved path which was just redone and is SO nice!!! Strollers and bikes are not permitted on the dirt path so keep that in mind. There is so much beauty to look at while enjoying a nice peaceful walk. Eagles, owls, deer, frogs, turtles, birds, and more creatures to look at all while visiting Radnor. It is a staple as a local to get outdoors and into fresh air. Great place to take kids or any family that is visiting or even a great place to go on a nice solo long walk.

This parking lot is smaller, but we were surprised to find a spot easily. When we left around 10:45, there was a line of about 6 cars waiting, though cars seemed to move through fairly quickly. There is a nice bathroom at the top of the parking lot. From this entrance, you can also access the trail along the lake, though strollers and dogs are not allowed on that trail. We chose the lower paved trail instead (part of the mulch trail loop). It's wide -- almost road-sized -- and newly paved the entire way. It took about 15 minutes to reach the lake, and there's plenty more paved trail beyond that. We saw frogs, ducks, turtles, deer, an owl, and even a bald eagle. My kids stayed engaged the whole time. The trail was flat and easy for stroller pushing, and my older kids rode scooters without any issues. There were lots of families, dogs, and walkers out, but it never felt overcrowded. Overall, this is a great near-the-city option for getting young kids into nature without dealing with steep terrain. The other entrance off Granny White has the visitor center and a bit more parking.
