Ravenwood Park is a hidden gem in the Nashville area. It has one of the tallest slides you will…read moreever see! Kids climb, climb, climb high into the sky via rope to head down it. If this doesn't tire your kids out I don't know what will! Besides that they have a sand pit, basketball court, tennis wall, and smaller slides for the kiddos. There are also plenty of trails to explore. Overall a 4.5 park!

Seven Oaks Park is a park with a focus on disc golf, but I came here on a Thursday with a few…read moreminutes to while away before a business meeting. Overall, a nice enough place.

Founded in 1945, Seven Oaks Park has 76 acres, a playground, restrooms, a picnic shelter, a…read morebaseball field, a tennis court, and a disc golf course. There is frustratingly little known about the history of the land. We know that the city of Nashville purchased the land from private citizens, and the purchase was partially funded by a federal Open Spaces grant, and that's about it. That Open Spaces grant probably has something to do with the usage of the land, and how undeveloped it still is today. It's pretty nice how natural a large part of this park is. The ball field is pretty snazzy, and it was funded by Conway Twitty in the '80s. It's a pretty quiet and large pocket of natural area in the city, and I quite enjoyed it.

This is a great course for newbies and the disc golf veterans…read more My buddy and I played here when our regular golf plans fell through at the neighboring golf course. This disc golf course is a mix of wide open fairways and tight tree filled driver areas. The first 6 holes are fully in the bush and tree lines, with hole 7 being a wide open shot. This hole is tricky with the basket right behind the a bush thicket. The course set up is a little funky. Meaning, depending on where you park, after hole 18 you're in for a walk. I would park in the lot that's at the very edge of hole 16 and walk over to the first hole. This way when you're done the car is right there. This park and course is beautiful with hole 15 having an awesome view of the Cumberland. Head up, bring a decent selection of discs for this course. You will definitely a few extra drivers and don't forget those mid range Bees!

Not a bad disc golf course. Mostly Par 3's but a little hard to navigate. Went here to play some…read moregolf and take the dogs on a good walk. Parking is plentiful but finding the first hole took some spins. There is a board with a sign showing all the holes. I recommend you take a picture of it so you can figure out where the next holes are. There was a place where scorecards were supposed to be but it was empty. I downloaded the UDisc app for free and it has this course with the scoring. The course is pretty straitforward, some of the baskets can be hard to see from the t box and you may need to move to see which location they are at. Some are elevated and nestled in woods. A few are next to fenced in areas which could pose a challenge for wayward throwers. Lots of up and down hill walking. Not terrible but if you have trouble in that space it's worth knowing. It's close to my house so I'll go back. After the first time through it will be much easier to navigate the second time.

Great par three disc golf course for beginners…read more This course is a full 18 holes and follows a pretty tight circle pattern, in fact you can pretty much see the parking lot from every tee box. The fairways are pretty tight in some spots and if I were you, I would play with a bright colored disc. If your shot goes into the wooded areas there's a good chance you could lose one of your discs. The course is very secluded, literally there's nothing around here. There are no bathrooms and just a small 8 spot parking lot. The neighborhoods down the street are quickly developing and pretty soon this place could be a very busy. So if you're looking to get in here before the crowds, now is the time!

Family brought us here while we were visiting in town. We came early in the evening on a Wednesday…read morein March & it wasn't terribly crowded, although there were still a fair number of people there. We had a blast, even though none of us had played before. My mom enjoyed it, too, and she's in her 70s, so this game can be enjoyed by anyone! The shade provided by the beautiful trees makes it feel like you're enjoying nature while you're getting in a bit of exercise & having some fun with family & friends. The course was easy to follow & we saw a few people who are really great at this game, but they were gracious to our large group & we also let the fast players pass our slow group. The course is well maintained & there are slight inclines and declines on the route. A fun activity for anyone to enjoy, at any skill level!

I love counting all the turtles on a sunny day or watching the geese. There is a playground and swings next to the pond. They allow fishing in the pond. There are baseball fields in the park.

You'll find Cedar Hill Park on Old Hickory and Dickerson, with the main gated entrance half a mile…read moredown Old Hickory. All that being said, it's easy to find! 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!

I am in a deeply committed, borderline unhealthy relationship with this park. I've spent an…read moreirresponsible amount of my life here and it keeps turning me into an endurance athlete against my will. First 100+ mile bike ride? Here. First ultra marathon? Here. At this point I'm one trail run away from qualifying for something I didn't sign up for. I also golf here more than a retired grandpa in Florida. Like, aggressively. If you need a tee time, sorry, I might already be there. I've made friends, ran races, had full character development arcs, and I see the same deer so often that we're basically on a "head nod" basis. I've named them. They know my schedule. One of them owes me money. Honestly, Nashville Parks should either sponsor me, put my name on a bench, or issue a restraining order.

Shelby Park in East Nashville has quickly become one of my favorite parks to hit up for a weekday…read moreevening or weekend afternoon walk! I have been making my way to all the Metro parks and Shelby Park sits high on my list right now, and for good reason! The park is well equipped with all the park staples and even a few specialty areas. I come here for the trails, as I love wandering around the park, through the woods, by the golf course and around the water. Just something about it all that makes the walks a bit more enjoyable. In addition to the trails the park offers the classic park offerings such as playgrounds, gazebos and sporting fields. The park is well kept and clean. All parks are a bit worn and dated, but it is not enough to detract from the park itself. Nashville does a good job keeping the parks in good working order, as well as clean. Overall, I am a fan of Shelby Park!
