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.

I go here often on weekday mornings with my three kids (ages 4, 3, and 1), and it's probably the…read morebest park in the Nashville area for young kids especially if you have multiple children. Parking is incredibly easy since the lot is huge. The playground is fully fenced, which is one of the biggest reasons I love coming here. At many other parks there are creeks, busy walking paths, or playgrounds located too close to roads. Here, the playground is nicely separated from other activities, making it much easier to keep multiple kids safe. The restrooms are nearby and have always been clean during our visits. The playground itself has plenty to keep my kids entertained, and I especially appreciate that I can let my 1-year-old explore without constantly worrying about dangerous drop-offs or easy escape routes. The only areas that require a little extra supervision are the large blue slide and the spinning play feature. The park is nicely shaded and has several tables around where you can sit and enjoy a snack or lunch. I believe you can also rent the pavilions with tables for parties. If you have toddlers, preschoolers, or several young kids to keep track of at once, this park is hard to beat. It's safe, well-designed, and one of our family's favorite places to spend a morning.

This park is perfect! It's in a beautiful and safe neighborhood and has so much to offer! There is…read morean amazing playground with a locked fence all the way around which helps parents with young kiddos feel safe and secure! All of the equipment is amazing and has a lot of climbers that other parks don't have! There are also sand volleyball courts, a basketball court, an amazing shaded community building with picnic tables to use, and so much more! We were really impressed by this park!

The bathroom building even has an AED attached for emergencies and that is so great of a statement in caring for people's safety. The park itself is great. Play area for kiddos, picnic tables and benches to eat lunch, paved trails for walks or runs. It's well maintained and beautiful scenery. Immediately next to the Y which is crazy convenient if you wanted to go a cool down after your workout. One of my go-to spots.

Despite the lack of reviews this is quite a popular park with locals. When I was there midafternoon…read morethere were children on the playground, a basketball game going on, a man reading on one of the many benches, people walking with and without dogs and a couple bicyclists. A nice parking area, you can even walk across from the library if you'd like. It also has a decent amount of trashcans along the walk. The path follows the Little Harpeth River and with water comes mosquitoes, but otherwise it was a very relaxing trail from Concord to Crockett Park. This paved trail has restrooms, a playground, a basketball court, and a picnic area.

Only complaint to knock it to 4 vs 5 stars is the parking. One way in, one way out. Meaning buckle up buttercups... because you'll be sitting a loooong time in your car waiting to get out. Make sure that gas tank is full beforehand! Definitely a go to spot, they just need to work on better logistics.

I've only visited a couple of times and have mostly walked the perimeter, so I haven't seen…read moreeverything this park has to offer. However, what I've seen is absolutely gorgeous. There is truly nothing like being out in nature, walking the trails, and taking in the wildlife and beautiful scenery. I've seen people enjoying leisurely walks, others getting in a serious workout by jogging, kids playing hopscotch, and some simply stopping to appreciate the beauty of it all. The atmosphere is so peaceful that I've even sat in my car in the middle of the day and read a book, that's how relaxing this place is! The hills can be a bit challenging, but they're well worth it. Now, my legs may have had a different story on the topic (LOL)! Whether you're visiting alone or spending time with family and friends, there's something here for everyone. This is definitely a kid and dog friendly place too! I can only imagine how much more there is to explore within the park. I look forward to returning and discovering this rich urban forest. Pro Tips: *There is plenty of parking, both as you enter the park and further down near the nature center. Stop in there as well -- You can pick up directions and a map of the park to help plan your visit. There are also events that take place throughout the year. *Admission is free, for everyone to enjoy! *Try to go in the mornings or mid day. *Bring your camera and preserve your memories, it truly is a beautiful place. *As a safety precaution, always make sure to lock your car doors, you can never be too careful! As I continue to return, I will be sure to update you on my various experiences. So I hope you follow along! Muah!

With many options for paved or dirt/gravel paths you can find something for each occasion. My personal favorite is the 5.8 mile loop. I have yet to brave the 11.2 mile loop. Beware of the stairs and hills! If you go during the weekday you might even spot a celebrity- perhaps Keith Urban *hint hint*

For a small park this place is great!…read more There is a parking lot located by Civitan/Brentwood Ball Park or you can park at Brentwood Library and walk the Storybook Trail that winds around towards the park. Even though it's near the library the path takes you to an area with a wide variety of trees, a small bridge, and even a spring house. This is a small loop but it's rather peaceful and has benches, trash cans, and the trees are labeled which I personally loved. There were only a couple people on the paved trails, it was very clean, and dog friendly.

The crab cakes were a 4/5 - my husband felt like there was a little too much filler. The remoulade was delicious - and it would have been good to have just a bit more. I had the lamb chops on top of chimichurri sauce, which was a great way to serve because you get to decide how much sauce. The lamb chops could have had the fat trimmed a bit pre and they were slightly overcooked but not enough to send back. Just a note to the kitchen. My 2 sides were loaded Brussels sprouts and they were cooked perfectly. I also had the cowboy corn sauce, which was delicious. My husband had a burger, which was a 5/5. Roll was great and completely prepared to his order. Drinks were delicious - I had the Coco Melon. Nick had beer. We definitely will be coming back.

Found humor that all the trash bins were overflowing with garbage and people were laying in it just to cop a feel and steal a kiss.
