    Great spot eat lunch, take a break from your phone and just have some socially distant quiet time. There are a few art installations, informational nature signs and historical markers scattered around the park. This park is walking distant to downtown Nashville and Nissan Stadium. BONUS!, you can take the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge back and forth from DT and back to the stadium! Have fun!

    The scenery was beautiful, but is definitely in the city. I was there on a Saturday, there was a lot of partying. You can walk to this park from downtown, so it's definitely worth the short walk. Beautiful dog park across the river. Definitely a good way to kill some time and catch some views if you are in the downtown area. However, if you have more time I would recommend spending more time exploring a more nature park spot outside of the city.

    A cool park with an amazing view of downtown Nashville, Tennessee. I had a bit of time to kill between business meetings and stopped by here to do a bit of walking and enjoying a great view.

    Attractive green space along the Cumberland River. Music was playing, people sitting outside on the beautiful day. The park extends to the other side of the river along the Titans stadium. Nice views of Broadway from here.

    Founded in 2012, at 12.94 acres, this park has a spray park, an amphitheater, a playground, public restrooms, and picnic shelters. This park is an adorable innovative space, with a trail designed to attract butterflies, a kids' rope obstacle course, and a kids' rock climbing wall. It sits across from Riverfront Park, and hugs the opposite side of the river. There are great different water/river themed accents all around the park, including cloud and constellation patterns. The park has since became home to events such as the annual Jazz on the Cumberland, the Mayor's Field Day, and the annual Ragin' Cajun Crawfish Boil. It has great views of the skyline, and is one of the most innovative parks we have.

    Nice park

    One of our local friends told us the best place to find free parking for going out downtown is just right over the bridge near Cumberland Park. We headed over for a night out and walked through the park a little before heading up to the pedestrian bridge. The view of the city lights and the park is pretty. Just more of Nashville to see and enjoy.

    I loved this place the scenery was so beautiful and when you go over the bridge you are at honkey tonk road. I had a great time!!!!

    A good place to start and end your trip to the downtown Broadway area. Parking was a little sketchy although we didn't know the area very well. The park and accompanying pedestrian bridge offer some excellent photo ops of downtown and the river area.

    We were here for a wedding rehearsal which was a really cool idea. We took Uber so we didn't experience parking but it did look like a limited amount of parking. It looks like the perfect place to hang out on a nice day with some pretty views on the water.

    This is a view looking North from the South end of the Park.

    This park, located on the East Bank of the Cumberland River just South of the Titans Stadium and South of the Shelby Street Bridge, is a much needed addition to the City of Nashville. We went to the opening this weekend and were complete amazed at all the fun amenities. The view of the city is spectacular! You can walk over the river on catwalks and down to the river on the docks (where you can get your feet wet). You can take the Shelby Street Pedestrian Bridge over the river into downtown Nashville. I can't wait to attend a concert on the new stage! "The hours of the park are expected to be 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily in summer. For now, they will be 4-8 p.m. weekdays and 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekends." - http://www.tennessean.com/article/20120412/NEWS11/304120088/Cumberland-Park-opens-Sunday-riverfront-bringing-greener-image-Nashville Visit the website for me detailed information - http://www.nashvilleriverfront.org

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.

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!

    4.5 Stars When I…read morepenned my last Yelp review a few days ago on the Tennessee State Capitol Building, it mentioned that it was part of a walk that my brother and I took to the Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park (From this point forward it is abbreviated BCMSP). It also mentioned that from the highest elevation of Downtown Nashville, my eyes looked across BCMSP. The reality is that BCMSP is a continuation of the Tennessee State Capitol. Less than a mile from Broadway; BCMSP, Tennessee State Capitol Building, Legislative Plaza, and government institutions are a world away from the honky tonk. I consider this part of Downtown Nashville as a Capitol Tourism District. The best way to describe BCMSP is having a similar layout to the Washington DC Mall. Both are linear parks originating from a Capitol Building that is adorned with statues and monuments along a great lawn with institutions and places of interest alongside the linear park. The striking difference is that the Tennessee State Capitol is on top of a grand hill. This design is no coincidence. When it opened on June 1, 1996 on the 200th Anniversary of Tennessee statehood, it brought to life the concept of bringing the Capitol Mall to the Tennessee State Capitol with a celebration of the state's history, geography, and culture. With Country Music far out of earshot, Tennessee was ringing in my ears when we walked the linear park from the southern entrance at James Robinson Parkway to the northern end at Jefferson Street. Walking south to north, the first attraction we took in was Tennessee Map Plaza. We walked on a granite map of Tennessee. Close by we picked up a $1 can of Coke from the Gift Shop (great deal!). We walked along the eastern walkway called Walkway of Counties where we took in the shade from the poplars while reading about the counties. This led us in and out of the Great Lawn. We stopped at the Tennessee Amphitheatre. Continuing north we stopped at the World War Two Memorial and the Court of Three Stars. I read that these are the tallest carillons in the World. Occasionally looking back, I took in the Tennessee State Capitol Building. At the northernmost point of the park at Jefferson Street, I took in a distant view of the totality of BCMSP leading to the Tennessee State Capitol. What a photo! Now walking south, instead of walking steadily towards it, we took a detour through the Farmer's Market carrying us parallel to the western boundary of the mall. If we had more time, we would have celebrated Tennessee further with time spent in the Tennessee State Museum at the northwest corner of the linear park. We rejoined BCMSP at the Tennessee Map Plaza where we took in a grand vista of the Tennessee State Capitol rising from on top of the hill. Instead of returning to it, we walked the city streets of Rep. John Lewis Way back to Broadway where the honky-tonk vibe returned. I am a fan of BCMSP. It has so much historic and Capitol Tourism character. And speaking of character, I am reaching the Yelp character limit. So, without further ado, I rate BCMSP 4.5 Stars.

Expect people with dogs, on bikes, skates, you name it, on the trail. It's pretty popular! If you want to ensure you remain in the greenway trail watch out for the green stumps. the "green stumps" are a well-known marker along the Richland Creek Greenway in Nashville. They're part of a trail maintenance/landscape feature: green-painted wooden posts (stumps) along the path used as visual markers to help walkers and bikers stay on the trail, especially near forks or trailheads The trail actually features a loop around McCabe Park/Golf Course and sections following the creek and old railroad tracks, connecting Sylvan Park to shopping areas and offering history like Dutchman's Curve. Parking available at the McCabe Trailhead near the golf course clubhouse. It's total 4.1 miles. The Richland Creek Greenway at McCabe Park crisscrosses the creek several times as it encircles the McCabe Golf Course. This greenway features several neighborhood accesses, the McCabe Community Center and baseball fields, and greenway connectors to nearby shopping centers. Nashville State Community College and Tennessee College of Applied Technology campuses also enjoy direct access to this popular suburban greenway treasure.
