We discover this restaurant on Yelp! after we had hiked brick Island and developed an appetite. We sat at the bar and had a fabulous server Leo. 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. read more

Such a beautiful park with SO much to do! I have a 3 and 6 year old and they were able to play for Hours here! We first started at the castle looking playground which is Huge with many climbing structures, swing, and a sand box area! Then there is another playground across the grass area along with several more climbers! There is a beautiful paved path around the park perfect for our kiddos to ride their bikes on! And lots of picnic tables around the area which was great for our picnic we packed! Highly recommend read more

This part has it all, and then some. Sun, shade, walking paths, a par course, storybook trail, picnic shelters, clean restrooms, charging stations, hammock stands, bench swings, multiple playgrounds, grass fields, ping pong, corn hole, and a little free library. Plus, an interesting historical site and a convenient location. Wow! I'm taking home several ideas. read more

Cool park to walk around and simply enjoy life. A nice walking path and as I crossed the bridge on the footpath, I saw three deer. I would recommend here for a quick moment to recharge your batteries. read more

Wow what a great park for walking pups and the scenes of the turning trees during a wet autumnal day. The park is very well manicured and great efforts go to maintaining the facility. The park is a gem and offers signage on your walking distance periodically throw your stroll. The pups love the ride from Nashville to the park and were rewarded with a pups friendly experience. I will surely be back sooner then later. read more

Love this park so much! The walking path around the actual park is an easy 1 mile. If you're feeling adventurous you can certainly go off the path and hike up to Fort Granger. This is a bit more strenuous but definitely worth the view! People are so friendly and it's totally safe to walk there alone. This is my go to place when I want a quick jaunt and it helps me get my steps in! Also they have a huge playground for the kids AND a place to hang up your hammock. Talk about AWESOME- I've only seen that in Hawaii!! read more

I love this little park in Franklin! It was a perfect place to run through for a light and easy 3.5-mile loop from downtown. The little bits of public art were fun and the paved trails were in great condition. read more

Pinkerton Park - Playground - Parks Near Me - Franklin, Tennessee

Only because this place is not dog friendly there's no confined area to let your dog exercise and there are no places that have water bowls for dogs? Otherwise a great park but not pet friendly at least not a place to allow them to run and visit with other dogs.... I did actually find a dog water spot just one by the water fountain for humans. read more

I developed an early childhood grudge against this park when every school year, twice a year, they made us kiddos come here and run a timed mile around the park's paved loop. I hated every second of that mile run and nearly always got news that my time was less than average or "healthy". Anyways, I have gotten past those chubby cheek years and have grown to love this little hideaway of a park. I love bringing the pup here for a romp around and the place is great for kids, equipped with a fully decked out, youngsters dream of a hide-and-seek castle. The park is also ideal for groups of kids or teens to gather and have a birthday celebration or girl/cub scout meeting. My favorite part about Pinkerton though is the trail that leads up to the old civil war fort in the back. The view atop the hill is so pretty and perfect on a sunny fall day. Definitely looking forward to more hikes, romps and picnics at the local park. read more

Pinkerton Park - View from top of the hill at Pinkerton - Parks Near Me - Franklin, Tennessee

We were downtown Franklin and wanted to see what other parks and recreation might be nearby and came across this park. It was very pretty with ample parking, and lots of space for kids to play and run around. It looked great for adults wanting to ride bikes or go for a run. It's very picturesque with the bridge. It's also a nice place to gather for a picnic with tables and an awning. read more

Love this place. Beautiful in every season, and there is something for everyone! Picnic pavilions, large parking area, all kinds of playground equipment for the kids, including castles to play in (tinkerbell), a lovely walking path for the grown ups (or biking for kids)...just a great place to spend time. When you go, keep your eyes open for the albino squirrels, it makes my day when I spot one! read more

Nice park, has a walking trails which is good for strollers and dog walking or a causal run. There are little out door workout areas along the mile lap around the park to stop and work out at. The park is fun for young children, pretty safe area also. read more

Great park for the young ones after a long day of driving. Great stop in Franklin before another day of driving tomorrow! read more

Pinkerton Park - Parks Near Me - Franklin, Tennessee

This is an amazing park for all ages! Great for a nice walk or run on the trails, and the area is so spacious so don't worry about being too close to others. Fun playground and sandbox for kids, my friend's 4 year old son had a blast digging and going on the slides. I would love to come back and I definitely recommend visiting this park. read more

This is such a fun park to go to and relax after work. The walking trail is super nice and right at 1 mile.

I've been coming to Pinkerton since I was a kid. The park is very large, featuring wide open spaces, a paved 1 mile walking path, 2 playgrounds, a walking bridge connecting downtown Franklin, and a second path leading up to the site of a civil war era fort that sits atop an adjacent hill. This is probably the best park for kids in the area. There are two separate playground areas. The first is a newer set with slides and bridges and other activities and an adjacent swing set. There are also additional slides and jungle gyms - one shaped like a fire engine that have been around since I was a kid - yes they're safe. My son loves the fire engine. The second playground is an all wood playground built in the mid nineties commemorating a little girl that passed away. This area is fully fenced in so parents won't have to worry about kids running off. It features castle like towers with bridges, slides, tunnels, and swings. Each activity has a plaque denoting the organization that donated funds. The walking bridge across the Harpeth River connects downtown Franklin with the park. The trail that leads up to the top of a hill which is the site of the Union Civil War fort, Fort Granger is an enjoyable short hike. The wide open spaces are often filled with people playing flag football, soccer, and ultimate frisbee even though there are signs that say no ball playing. During the summer the city will hold movies in the park. In summary this has to be one of the coolest parks in the area. read more

Not as good as Crockett Park, but it's nice. As for smaller kids, the playground was diverse and has another open playspot with multiple slides. Lots of swings. read more

If you ask a kid, this is the best park in town. It's got a lot of things to do for both big and small children. The running trail is laid out to allow for a lot of running in little acreage. Bathrooms are cleaning. Lots of parking, but it still gets full on the weekends. Really, it's a great place. On tip though - if you're watching a very busy child and don't want to follow them around, the play area is HUGE. You'll either have to be on your feet and moving to keep an eye on them or okay with not being able to see them at all times. read more

Big. Busy. A lot of playgrounds. Bridge. Walking paths. Beautiful grounds. Family friendly. Picnic tables.

This is a great place for kids. There are two different play grounds and lots of open space for everyone to run and play. It is always very well maintainted and the Restrooms are always clean. In addition to the playgrounds and open spaces, there is a walking path encompasing the area and short hiking path to Fort Granger. You can quickly get from the park to Downtown via the walking/bike path over the Harpeth and the train tracks run by there so twice a day the sound of train whistles keeps the little ones entertained. There are covered picnic areas that can be reserved for parties of all sorts and charcole grills near each one. It is great place for everyone! read more

Pinkerton Park is located on Murfreesboro Road as you head into downtown Franklin via I-65. The park offers a one mile paved pedestrian track, which I selfishly use alot during the river, the encompasses the entire park along with picnic pavilions and two different playground areas that are sure to be a hit with kids. A recent addition is the pedestrian bridge over the Harpeth that connects downtown Franklin with the park. The City of Franklin also offers special events in the park throughout the year. I encourage everyone in the Franklin area to check out this gem of a park. read more

Great family park close to downtown Franklin. This park has been updated over the many years I've visited but never loses it's charm. You can enjoy the "newish" playground, the original playground (I feel like there are a couple of items here that I may have played on as a child), walk the wonderful paved trails, or hike up to Fort Granger. You can even take a small bridge over and enjoy downtown Franklin. Great pavilion options to reserve for parties and get together events. read more

A great place to take the kids, exercise, have a party and even launch a canoe. It can get crowded on nice days but aside from parking being an issue I have never felt like it was overcrowded. The playground accommodates all ages and the wooden section only has on exit and entrance so it is easy to make sure the kids are contained. There is a good walking area and a large field for sports, kites or just picnics. There are swings and playground equipment adjacent to the field and picnic areas as well. The Harpeth River is right there as well and they put in a canoe launch so you can put in or pull out there. If you are putting in the next pull out is the Williamson county rec center about an hour or two down river (paddling slow). This was my go to park until I moved. Always a fun place for the kids. You also have a civil war "fort" up the hill if you want to make the walk. It's just dirt now but it is nationally recognized. read more

I walk here just about every morning. It's always well kept and the track is exactly a mile long, so it's easy to keep track of how far you've walked or run. It also has a bridge that will send you right out into downtown Franklin if you feel adventurous too. The park itself is spacious and is great for children to play (lots of playground equipment) and parents to watch them frolic. It also has plenty of room for picnicing and playing sports or frisbee (which is what I like to do there). Not only that, but if you want to see some history there's a trail that will take you to a Civil War site. This place is the bomb and has it all. read more

Very nice, large city park. Be advised its not a "Dog Park" though. Have to keep dogs leashed per the signage.

this is a pretty nifty place. the walking trail is paved, and along the way are "workout stations" where you can do pull ups, forearm rolls, various stretches, etc....you know, all things needed for a full body workout. it also seems pretty safe. i didn't get that stranger danger sense, i mean, i wouldn't recommend leaving a child there alone, but i also wouldn't say that you needed to pack a taser or stun gun ladies. it's super clean, the playground is pretty swell, no creaky sounding, horror movie swings moving by themselves either. we went on new years day, and it was pretty cold, but i'd imagine it's a great place for a picnic in the summer. read more

I take my two boys here (ages 2 and 7) and we always have so much fun! There is something for everyone. There is a huge wooden play fortress with slides and bridges and everything else you can think of to hang from. There are three separate apparatus playing arenas with different fun at each area. There is a trail for learning how to ride bikes, scooters and skateboards. Dogs on leashes are allowed. Plenty of wide open space to run, run, run. A creek and a bridge that my boys can't get enough of. You can bring a picnic and make a whole day of it. My only warning is to pack the sunscreen. There is very little shade protection from the sun. Take the kids for a day of great family fun! read more

I am a big fan of this park! Very big, well maintained! This is a great place for anyone to come and enjoy a beautiful day! If you have kids, they will love all the fun play structures they have. There are swings, slides, tire swings, large grass areas to play games, running paths, exercise stops, and also large covered picnic table areas for large groups like birthday parties or baby showers! There are so many places to explore in this park! There is also areas for young adults or anyone to come have a picnic. They have built in bbq's if you want to bring some meat and veggies to grille out. There is also river access from this park. There is a designated canoe launch area in the middle of the park as well. Grab a Frisbee and some food, and go with your friends for a day in the park on a beautiful day, You will be happy you did! read more

Great playground and lots of wide open space for soccer, frisbee or, football. Restrooms right near the playground.

I love bringing the kids here! It is not as good as the other parks but it can be a very relaxing place.

Loooooove this park! A ton of different play areas for kids, walking trails, pet friendly & 2 large fields for flying kites or anything that needs a lot of space! Always hosting fun family events too! read more

The park overall is great for my son, he loves it. I like what he can do around the park and that they have a lot to play around with. The only thing i don't like about this park is that a lot of these parents bring anti social kids. I guess people in Franklin think they are better than everyone else. Some kids and their parents are really nice but there is just too much of these snobby kids that really ruin this great park. read more
