Moss Wright Park may be one of my favorite parks in the Nashville Metro area! Tucked away north of…read morethe city in Goodlettsville, Moss Wright Park has all the quintessential offerings of a city park plus a few extras! The park itself is huge covering close to 150 acres, and features multiple sports complexes for different sports including baseball, football, soccer and even volleyball! In addition there is a paved walking trail that stretches over 3 miles from entry to exit, and gets even longer if you walk the parking lots that connect the two! The walking path is one of my favorites as it is fairly scenic for a park walking path with portions covered, shrouded in trees and alongside the creek, while the other part is open-air surrounding the soccer fields and dog park, but also still next to the creek. There are also gazebos, benches, picnic tables and playgrounds scattered throughout. The above are things that you naturally find at local parks, but a bit upgraded I would say...and in addition Moss Wright has a fairly newly constructed outdoor gym spot to help with a quick circuit workout. Lastly, this park is full of history from the Bowen House to Mansker's Station plus this park is location to the Goodlettsville Welcome/Visitors Center. Parking is plentiful. No matter which entrance you come in through or what area of the park you are after, parking is available. The park and all the facilities including the restrooms are very well kept from a cleanliness and condition standpoint. Overall, Moss Wright Park is a favorite of mine...funny enough, I am headed there to get a few miles in after submitting this review!

The park offers all the staples from baseball/softball fields, a walking track, a pond, multiple playgrounds and of course ducks! We don't live too far, so we bring the pup here to change the scenery up for our walks. We hit the walking loop that surrounds the pond, where 2.25 loops equals one mile. The pond is fishable, and it is always active with amateur anglers. Everyone is friendly and seems to follow the rules. Surrounding the pond is a first come first serve pavilion with picnics, a playground and a detached swing set. Park is plentiful around the park as a whole. This comes in handy when the fields are all in use. The park is fairly clean and well maintained. Overall, we enjoy having Cedar Hill Park nearby. You will definitely find us cruising around the pond multiple days throughout the year!

We didn't get a chance to see the nature center as it was closed the Tuesday after Memorial Day. There was plenty of parking and it was easy to find. The trails were well maintained and marked with benches at several points to take a rest. We saw plenty of dogs and friendly people on the trails. Definitely would recommend closed-toed shoes and a filled water bottle as the drinking fountains at the Center were not working.

I must say, though, that Billy Dunlop park has been the best one (so far) for more than just a playground. Not only is there a large shelter, but there are lots of concrete picnic tables scattered around. Perfect for social distancing or just a little more privacy. Other than the human noise, the only thing you will hear here is nature's finest symphony; birds singing and the creek babbling. Today was all about some old school fun with some education thrown in. Tossing sticks off one side of the bridge and watching for them to drift by on the other side. Launching rocks into the water and seeing how many circles were made. Watching the birds and picking out the different ones. Learning to respect all kinds of critters in their natural habitat. Yes, kids, there really is more to do than bury your head in your phone. Of course, with all of this green space comes lots of bugs. Don't forget the repellant, or you will find yourself quite itchy.

Great park. Five stars. My kids burn energy and I get to pretend I'm supervising.

This park is AWESOME!…read more For crawling babies, walking toddlers and older siblings there is something for everyone. It's also inclusive for kids in a wheelchair or needing additional assistance. There are several musical play opportunities that really interest all ages. Plenty of shaded areas for parents to sit and watch their kids explore, picnic tables in the shade, etc. We spent a couple of hours there with a 1 year old and definitely explored the whole park. One warning, always check the back and seats of the different swings as some of them get hot in different places. There is a roller hockey rink and skate park there as well. My daughter really enjoyed roller skating in the rink. The whole park was very clean, and well maintained. Can't wait to go there again.
