    Monstrous playground thingy.
    Matt C.

    The kids had fun on the playground, but it was pretty beat up and dirty. Beyond that, the portapotty was a disaster Glad the kids didn't have to use it. My constitution is pretty strong, but I almost lost my lunch. Apologies for the "potty talk" but this thing probably hadn't been cleaned out since the Battle of Nashville in 1864. We didn't have time to explore other parts of the park so this review only applies to the playground area. Cheers

    Cedar Hill Park is a gem! Over 300 acres, established in 1965. It has a playground, picnic shelters, public restrooms, baseball fields, tennis courts, paved walking/jogging paths, disc golf field, and a lake. It was purchased in 1964 for $386K. It was originally named Old Center Park because there was a school in the center of the park named Old Center School. But after Metro Nashville took over, they named it Cedar Hill Park because of the multitude of cedar trees in the area. I had never been to this park before, and in walking the perimeter of the lake, found myself obsessed with the ducks- as the pictures show.

    At the lake, a lit of people were fishing, some people were jogging or walking and some were just hanging out enjoying the lovely day.

    Madison Park is the first park acquired after the Metropolitan Board of Parks and Recreation was…read moreestablished in 1963, at their first meeting. Elvis's manager, Colonel Tom Parker, donated $7,000 to help pay for the park. The park also hosted a`n annual Madison Hillbilly Day- proceeds of which were also used towards the park purchase funds. The park was purchased for $9,000n from Opha Bixer. The property was turned over to a nonprofit organization- the Madison Community Park, Inc- and was purchased back by Metro Nashville for $16,500 in 1988, in exchange for a promise to build a community center there. Today, it has 30 acres, and hosts a community center, a playground, public restrooms, picnic shelters, baseball fields, basketball courts, volleyball courts, tennis courts, paved walking/jogging paths, and a multipurpose field. It underwent a major renovation in 2019, and there are further renovation plans in the future, including a plan for a dog park. The renovations are gorgeous, with a royal blue and gold theming.

I fully expect this adjacent city to gain more and more popularity amongst folks looking for some real estate relief (and who want to stay in Davidson County). When that population boom happens, I think many of these folks will find good times to be had at Madison Park. Madison Park is deceptively large. I drove in to the park on Cumberland, thinking it to be a small, neighborhood green space. Not the case. Madison Park, despite being surrounded by apartments, homes and a highway, is a healthy park with a lot of attractive attributes. I'm curious to see what it's like in the spring/summer. Far from a thatch of grass, the park offers: basketball court, baseball diamonds, pavilions for lunching, tennis court, soccer field, volleyball court, a community center, a playground, and rolling hills with (Madison) city views and mature trees. I didn't expect any of this from what I saw on the back end. There are three entrances and plenty of parking. From the signage, there looks to be some construction/improvements on the way. I'm curious to see what that looks like. For nearby residents, the community center offers free child care with programming for the school year and summer. Obviously, Madison Park is a local resource and respite but I think its size and the many additions it offers allows it to be a destination park as well. If you haven't spend much time in Madison, you could do far worse than by starting here.

    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 playground is awesome. Taylor Swift went to high school in Hendersonville. So she herself paid for the playground equipment for the kids. And I must say the playground equipment itself is super cute! Love the castle. It's awesome to see celebrities give back to their hometown. And they have a take a book leave a book library for the kids. Amazing! 2. Such a great spot for a quick fishing trip. I always see lots of people on the shore fishing and a few in their kayaks as well. On our most recent trip, my father in law caught a small bass. Of course we let it back into the water, but my kids were so excited to see their grandpa hook one. 3. There's also a handful of tennis courts that were being perused. The walking trail is a great way to enjoy the beautiful spring weather and get some exercise! And with the scenery, it's a nice spot for a date or picnic with the family. Just be careful where you step since there are a lot of ducks roaming the area. 4. And the bathrooms are spotless!!!!! I had to throw that in there. This is such a great place for families and to enjoy the fresh air.

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.

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!
