Mountain View's with lovely fog today. There is a shared cover that allows both sides to chat with cover over head like a bar has. Nice! I decided that since my "dog wrote a book on dog parks" I should try to come up with something I would improve on. All I can say is that gates should swing into the dog park sections so when someone arrives the excited dogs don't spill out into the leashing up/unleashing areas. The first gate does that, but gates to the two sections swing out. No biggie, but if it were mine I would change the swing. I'm tired from the road trip so I'll let my photos speak for themselves.

I spotted a sign to Bowie Park, including its nature centre, and turned in to check it out. It is a beautiful park with majestic trees. It felt so much cooler simply driving in this park because the trees shielded you from the heat and provided some much needed relief. Bowie Park has over 700 acres of forest and lakes. It also has 17 miles of trails. You can essentially go biking, horseback riding, fishing, running, and walking in nature. Park hours are between 5 am and 10 pm. I am assuming that gates block your way into this park when it's closed. I thoroughly enjoyed my brief drive into the park. You can park your car and take advantage of doing a hike or whatever activity you feel like doing while connecting with nature. It was so hot that I wasn't feeling a hike. A touristy car ride was good and a nice change of pace. I found the nature centre. It's a place for visitors to learn more about the park. It has nature exhibits, brochures, and art. It features the Bowie museum, which shares the history of the Bowie family and their gifting the park to Fairview. This centre has classes throughout the year on learning about this park. It also has staff offices and public restrooms. This park was named after Dr. Evangeline Bowie. Her family had purchased this plot of land in the 1950's. It was eroded and in poor condition. It went through a transformation of being bulldozed and redesigned into the forest that exists today. It was not crowded on a Sunday afternoon when I was here. I'd love to return and take a walk when it's not scorching hot. It felt peaceful and relaxing while I was here during my car tour. It's such a gem. It was an unexpected, cool find. (320)

Brentwood, you've gotta start reviewing your parks! It's crazy that a park like Grassland has so…read morelittle written about it. While this time of year may not be the best time to check it out, mid-spring offers a fantastic glimpse into what the park has to offer. Start planning now. Let's start with one of the most unique features I've seen in a Nashville-area park: a sensory garden. For that reason alone, I'm a fan of Grassland. The designers created a garden with plants selected to engage different, specific senses. The motif is Japanese but the result isn't tied to particular region. Truly, in each grouping, you're invited to smell, touch, etc. the particular plants and experience them in ways in which you don't do ordinarily. Once you've spent some time in the garden, look up: the park is huge. Take the time to take the trails, walk over the hobbit bridges and see what the space has to offer. It's tied to a school, so a playground is no surprise to be on grounds. The park boasts a jungle gym contraption as well as old-school swings. For the bigger kids (parents, you're included), there's also tennis courts, basketball courts and a baseball diamond (with batting cage). While the park is relatively flat, you're going to want to bring tennis shoes. You're not going to hike but if you explore the full tilt of the grounds, you're not going to be on paved ground. It's grass & dirt. You might get muddy. With so much (potentially) going on at the park, I'd advise coming on a Sunday. Since a school is on property, weekdays are likely to be packed. Saturdays will find families trying to make up for not coming during the week. Sundays, however, are quieter. And despite the size of the park, this is one to be experienced in relative quiet... without the hustle and bustle of overactive families. Parking's plentiful and very easy. From the photo on Yelp, I didn't expect Grassland to be as pretty as it is. It's a well-maintained and interesting green space. It's worth the drive from Nashville to visit. Just be sure to come on Sunday and to spend some quality time in the sensory garden.

There are lots of spaces to rest in the shade, and cool down for a bit by the river. There are clearings just off the path where you can hang out for a quiet moment. I visited a little after noon on a summer day, at peak sun, and was relieved to have lots of shade to enjoy the walk. This space is well-maintained, offering a variety of paths to go down and not too long of a trail any which way either if you don't feel like it. The restrooms were very clean and I enjoyed having a spot for a meal, on the steps by the parking lot. As far as parking goes, there aren't very many spaces so I'm wondering if that was the only area to park aside from the residential. Wish I lived more in the neighborhood to just stop by randomly and get my steps in.

Given all the wondrous green spaces in Middle Tennessee, this stop shouldn't be high on your list. It's... okay. Fine. Alright. I came here in the midst of the 'lock down.'** I wasn't going to spend the Thanksgiving holiday with friends or family so the least I could do was take advantage of climate change and go for a late autumn walk. One advantage of Deerwood is that it's not very populated -- despite being in the middle of a subdivision. That means if you want some peace and quiet without feeling as though you are far from humanity, you have the perfect spot. It also means that it feels a bit artificial. Paved walkways, man made lights and the facades of houses don't do much to make one feel as though he's getting away from it all. After walking the paved mile loop and its various offshoots into house-lined streets (and over charming backyard bridges), I was whelmed, leaning to 'under.' I suppose if you live in the area and want a flat loop to walk to get some fresh air there are worse choices but it's definitely not a 'must see' destination by any stretch of the imagination. After you visit, you just might forget that you'd done so. *'Arboretum* is a stretch. Want an arboretum? Head over to Vandy. ** Lol. Like this area stopped for a second.

This park is not the most welcoming- there's no parking, a fence around the perimeter, and many warning signs advising of the "no drug" and "no weapon" policy. The land itself is 12.7 acres, and was originally owned by the County Hospital. The people of Bordeaux at a council meeting requested the land to be a park, so the County Hospital leased the land to the Park Board in 1964. The park itself is pretty- it underwent a beautification project in 2010. The neighborhood doesn't seem to have a high crime rate, and the neighborhood association is ran by a group of strong retirees. I'm unsure why the park is so hostile.
