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.

The land was originally the grounds of the Metro Convalescent Hospital, but was transferred to the Parks Department in 1964. It was named for Richard W. Hartman, a community leader who worked with the youth of Bordeaux. Metro Police has used a portion of the park for police training since 1983, which is the same year the community center opened. The swimming pool was opened in 1998. The park underwent a renovation in 2010. This park was the least maintained of any I've visited so far, with trash and debris everywhere, and features in ill repair. However, it does host a trailhead for the Whites Creek Greenway, which does redeem it quite a bit.

If you ask some folks around here, Antioch, Madison and Hermitage are all part of Nashville. It's the wild west, people. Choose your own adventure. All of the above is to say that after some external stressors, I needed to take in some natural beauty. When the first two parks I was looking for didn't quite exist, the third time was the charm and I bumbled my way in to Hartman Park. It was a pretty drive from the east side of town and I realized that I hadn't been over to this stretch of the greater metro in over three years. It's filled with loads of natural beauty. Yes, there's a shooting range for metro PD but if you can block that out, you get to take part in a fairly tranquil green space. Hartman Park is located at the edge of the Whites Creek Greenway so, if you're industrious, a trip around the park can turn into a massive walk. I only went but so far because a.) I am *still* afraid I'll see Pennywise dancing and I am not here for that life and b.) the unfortunate reality is that going off by yourself into remote areas isn't a good idea. Pretty but unwise as a solo choice. In a group (on a bike)... and we have a whole new ballgame. I'm ahead of myself. When you pull in to Hartman Park, the first thing you'll notice is the large parking lot. But when you consider all the things going on at the park, the size of the lot makes sense. For your amusement, there's a football field, baseball diamond, basketball court, playground, pavilion, community center, walking trail, sculptures, and access to the aforementioned Penny(wise) Lane. It's almost too much to take in but it's a lovely problem to have (what to do first?). I neglected to enter the community center because of the crowd in front of the door when I arrived. I regret that. I want to know what's in there. A pool? Billiards? Art studios? Gym? One might never know. Instead, I started my exploration of the perimeter. I crossed a bridge (strangely dry considering all of the rain of late) and saw a face coming out of the ground. It was an art installation that really struck me. I spent some time looking at it and wishing I had someone with me with whom I could discuss the piece. It was quite the unforeseen surprise. The other spaces in the park were full of families and friends playing sports and hanging out. I didn't see a crush of cars in the lot so I am guessing the majority of folks here live nearby. This is a heckuva neighborhood park. Starting my traipse into the verdant lushness of the greenway, I was enveloped by a canopy of trees, entertained by the trickling of the creek (more robust than the park water) and hypnotized by the reds, yellows and whites of flowers unwilling to give in to the calendar date. And then I got eaten up by bugs, started thinking about killer clowns and the cult from AHS and thought better of being on a greenway trail by myself. So, there's that. Still, I'd come back and encourage you to check it out. We're lucky to have so much natural beauty in Middle Tennessee. This is the time of year to take best advantage of it. Happy trails!
