So upon walking in, I immediately told the woman behind the counter, "I was here in 1997, and I passed up the opportunity to milk a cow. Can you help me?" And she just laughed and told me there had been a lot of changes. The cow milking and butter churning hands on activities of the past are gone, but in its place is a gorgeous museum with amazing artifacts. It works hard to tell a linear story of the importance of agriculture in Tennessee. There's definitely a lack of identifying signage in many of the display cases, which is an oversight I'll forgive since I'd imagine most of their audience is schoolchildren that are given a formal tour. I didn't explore much of the grounds- besides a stadium used for training police horses that I definitely wasn't supposed to go in, that I peeked in after vague memories of watching some weaving display in concrete stadium seats as a kid. I will be back to view more of the grounds in warmer weather.

The Center has a an iris garden with beautiful gazebo and several walking trails!

My husband and I recently took our new pup to this trail and had an amazing time. There's lots of places to park upon arriving and many different trail routes to take. It felt clean, welcoming, and super safe! So happy we found this park. The only thing we wish it also had were trash cans along the path to dispose of dog bags. We would also love if they would add a couple water fountains along the path for dogs to drink out of! They've had this at some other parks we've been to and we really appreciated it. Great park with nice trails to walk around on a nice day! We'll definitely be back.

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.

It has three baseball diamonds, a batting cage, a playground, and a football/multipurpose field. It also is nestled up against a creek. It also is the home to the trailhead for the Seven Mile Creek Greenway. We went about half a mile down the greenway, and were discouraged and turned around. Between the untamed brush, cell phone towers, and attractive views of the road, it wasn't terribly inspiring. That's not to discount the entire trail, as I'm sure there are great spots in the other six and a half miles. I would be remiss if I didn't mention William Drew Whitfield (1931-1976), who lived on Woodett Road. Although professionally an engineer for Honeywell, the last fifteen years of his life were dedicated to volunteering for youth sports, notably the Volunteer Dixie Youth Baseball League and the Boy Scouts. This park was the first park built in this area, and it's emphasis on baseball seems a fitting tribute to the memory of the park's namesake.

We started at McCabe Park trailhead (4911 McCabe Park Dr, Nashville, TN 37205); there is a golf course there as well. Following the trails and walking by the Richland Creek (which is a stream on the west side of Nashville, Tennessee, formed by nine tributaries flowing north to the Cumberland River) is just beautiful, immersed completely in nature and green. Expect people with dogs, on bikes, skates, you name it, on the trail. It's pretty popular! If you want to ensure you remain in the greenway trail watch out for the green stumps. the "green stumps" are a well-known marker along the Richland Creek Greenway in Nashville. They're part of a trail maintenance/landscape feature: green-painted wooden posts (stumps) along the path used as visual markers to help walkers and bikers stay on the trail, especially near forks or trailheads The trail actually features a loop around McCabe Park/Golf Course and sections following the creek and old railroad tracks, connecting Sylvan Park to shopping areas and offering history like Dutchman's Curve. Parking available at the McCabe Trailhead near the golf course clubhouse. It's total 4.1 miles. The Richland Creek Greenway at McCabe Park crisscrosses the creek several times as it encircles the McCabe Golf Course. This greenway features several neighborhood accesses, the McCabe Community Center and baseball fields, and greenway connectors to nearby shopping centers. Nashville State Community College and Tennessee College of Applied Technology campuses also enjoy direct access to this popular suburban greenway treasure.

They were engaged in a sword battle using fallen branches. I thought to myself, this ain't gonna end good. Sure enough, one got stabbed in the leg, and the fallen soldier had to beat a quick retreat to the infirmary. Oh, to be a kid again.
