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.

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

We have been visiting Radnor lake for years and it is one of our favorite places to walk and feel…read moreconnected with nature while also still being close to the city. We always enter from the "access trail" side. It is a smaller parking lot but we like coming in from this side. Depending on what time you get there, you may have a slight wait time to park but it is usually pretty quick and efficient. We usually arrive before 8:30am and have had no problem finding a spot. There are I believe at least 2 handicap spots at this entrance. They also have bathrooms available that are always clean and kept up. At the main entrance, entering from (otter creek). There is a welcome center with information and a small gift shop. Before bringing a stroller we would always go on the trail through the park woods but now with our baby and taking a stroller we take the paved path which was just redone and is SO nice!!! Strollers and bikes are not permitted on the dirt path so keep that in mind. There is so much beauty to look at while enjoying a nice peaceful walk. Eagles, owls, deer, frogs, turtles, birds, and more creatures to look at all while visiting Radnor. It is a staple as a local to get outdoors and into fresh air. Great place to take kids or any family that is visiting or even a great place to go on a nice solo long walk.

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.

There is a lot to like about this large park and it's one of my favorites. I'll break it down by…read morethe primary features. Trails: this is the primary reason I go to Crockett Park. I sometimes walk but mostly bike on the trails with a little one. They are relatively flat and because they are so long, they are rarely crowded. The trail users vary in age and there are plenty of blind curves, so it's not a place to go for fast biking. The scenery is varied and the majority of the trails are shaded. As a bonus, there are lots of places you can dip your feet in the Little Harpeth River. You can bike from Smith Park to the south to Tower Park north of Concord Road. The trails also connect to various neighborhoods, the Brentwood Library, and the Brentwood YMCA. Five stars. Playgrounds: there are several playground at Crockett Park/River Park. The main one near Woodland Middle School between baseball fields. It's large with a divided small kids and big kids section. Kids love it, and there are plenty of benches and tables for parents to sit or for a lunch break. Five stars. Frisbee golf course: 18 holes and, unlike many in the area, clear signage. Some holes are similar and a few are pretty short, but overall good course for a quick game. Four stars. Restrooms: these are all over the park. Some are closed part of the year, but for the most part they are open and reasonably clean for public restrooms. Four stars. Parking: You can park more places than I can count off the top of my head to start your walk, jog, bike ride or attend a sporting event. Amphitheatre: The Eddy Arnold Amphitheatre is great for summer concerts, of which there are many every year. Sports fields: I don't use them at this time, but they are very well maintained and there are a lot of football, soccer, and baseball fields. Parking: You can park more places than I can count off the top of my head to start your walk, jog, or bike ride. This is handy for days when the fields are crowded for soccer and/or football games, because you can avoid the traffic. Most lots are adjacent to a trail. Check it out for one or more of these features when you get a chance.

Aspen Grove Park is tucked away just off of Cool Springs Boulevard between business/office space…read moreand retail plazas. The plaza it sits directly behind houses McAlisters, Moe's, Burger Up, PF Changs and more. The main entrance is located on Aspen Grove even though the address shows Cool Springs Boulevard. When you pull in, you pull into a small parking lot, a brick building that houses the restrooms to the left, start of the trails to the right and then a nice brick pavilion that houses several picnic and patio tables, a fireplace/grill and a little free library station. Just beyond the pavilion is a grassy area and playground. The park has one main trail with four off shoots creating 5 paved trails each ranging from .10/mile to .60 mile. If you make a few laps you can make a nice distance out of it. Most of the trails end and start in the park area, however one ends/starts near Core Life eatery. All the paths are paved and 90% of the trails are covered in foliage. The trails also feature a few cool bridges that cross the creek, and there are a few grill/picnic areas along the trails as well. I have driven by this park for years now, and honestly am surprised at the space and trails. I am impressed with the simple layout, covered trails, cute creek and the calm that it brings, even in the middle of retail and office suites!

Writing about war and memorials is difficult for many people, myself included. I have ancestors and…read morefamily members who fought in the American Revolutionary War and virtually every war since then, including me - with service in Vietnam. (I also served in the US Peace Corps under Sergeant Schriver, so I've seen contributions of US citizens on many levels and many "fronts"). One of the most controversial aspects is the memorializing or celebrating sacrifices of women and men who fought for their beliefs...regardless of which "side" they served during the conflict. The monuments at Winstead Hill Park are no exception. Granted, this was a significant vantage point for the Confederate Army in the Battle of Franklin. But, how should this area be commemorated? (Apparently some reviewers think it should not be here at all.) There are newer monuments to people who fought on both sides, especially those reflected in the 2021 "Fuller Story" located in downtown Franklin. But I am writing this review simply as my observations on a visit to this place. I am not trying to judge whether it should or should not be celebrated or here in the first place. The park has some easy-to-navigate walking paths...relatively level and smooth with only a few gentle rises to negotiate. IMHO walking paths in this part of the park, are very handicap friendly. A few markers dot the paths in this relatively small "park"... the staging and observations area for the Confederates. However, the actual "memorial" to the Confederate Units ("Sons of the Confederate Memorial") and their leadership is a different story. It is a very steep, difficult climb up a poorly designed and awkwardly - only partially paved - "trail". The monuments to the Confederate Units are rather imposing considering the limited space in which they are displayed. Once you arrive at the top, the view does provide a quite expansive look over what would have been the Union troop placements and defenses near the town. BUT, the access is so steep and difficult, anyone with limited mobility should not attempt...and if you are in a wheel chair...it is categorically impossible. Bottom line: a nice, quiet park area that evokes mixed emotions for many visitors.

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!
