Parking is incredibly easy since the lot is huge. The playground is fully fenced, which is one of the biggest reasons I love coming here. At many other parks there are creeks, busy walking paths, or playgrounds located too close to roads. Here, the playground is nicely separated from other activities, making it much easier to keep multiple kids safe. The restrooms are nearby and have always been clean during our visits. The playground itself has plenty to keep my kids entertained, and I especially appreciate that I can let my 1-year-old explore without constantly worrying about dangerous drop-offs or easy escape routes. The only areas that require a little extra supervision are the large blue slide and the spinning play feature. The park is nicely shaded and has several tables around where you can sit and enjoy a snack or lunch. I believe you can also rent the pavilions with tables for parties. If you have toddlers, preschoolers, or several young kids to keep track of at once, this park is hard to beat. It's safe, well-designed, and one of our family's favorite places to spend a morning.

The bathroom building even has an AED attached for emergencies and that is so great of a statement in caring for people's safety. The park itself is great.

Immediately next to the Y which is crazy convenient if you wanted to go a cool down after your workout. One of my go-to spots.

A nice parking area, you can even walk across from the library if you'd like. It also has a decent amount of trashcans along the walk. The path follows the Little Harpeth River and with water comes mosquitoes, but otherwise it was a very relaxing trail from Concord to Crockett Park. This paved trail has restrooms, a playground, a basketball court, and a picnic area.

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.

The walking path takes you around the playground and through a beautiful little nature preserve. It isn't a really long walk but the vegetation and wildlife are pretty. We've seen deer, squirrels, frogs, birds, snakes and more. The restrooms are always clean and stocked. The lawn area is always well manicured. The reason we gave four stars is that after a rain, there are a couple areas on the walking path that are covered with water. They are very slippery. It would be nice if they maybe raised the concrete or created a slight bridge in those areas.

The land itself was purchased by the Metro Board of Education in the 1960s. They tried to sell it in 1976, but couldn't find a buyer. However, it was at this same time, in the 1970s and 1980s, that the neighborhood began to really develop. This part of Nashville isn't even on maps until the 1960s. The name of the park derives from the fact that it is, in fact, a grassy knoll. There's a small playground, a beautiful art installation bench commemorating the 2010 flood, and a very depressing looking baseball area. It's definitely not big enough for Little League or anything regulation. But this park exists in 10 acres, approximately 80% of which is just a field of grass, unencumbered by shade. We walked about half a mile around the perimeter, and enjoyed the sunshine. There was little to no paved section, so our walk was in the grass.

3.5 You know what I…read morelike about parks? They're peaceful. They're a place of refuge from the chaos of traffic, the noise of the city center and the confusion of the world. In times like these, we could all use some peace. Take some time to take a walk and reconnect with nature. Leave the cell phone at home, chart a course and remember what it was like to walk on green grass -- barefoot, even. It's important. Harpeth Knoll isn't my favorite park of the metro system but it has its charms. First of which (for me) was the drive out to it from the east side of town. Nashville's a pretty green city but the southwestern edge of the metro takes things to a whole 'nother level. HK is a small(er) park in the middle of an old(er) neighborhood and stuck between the past and present. The overgrown baseball diamond and boundary of mature evergreens tell the tale of an older park. The new playground, park benches and art piece seating, however, imply that some new life and attention's been given to this old girl. What I think is the standout feature of the park, though, are the views. The spaces are wide and open and the mature trees dot the perimeter of the space, not the center. That means, in addition to being a perfect set up for kick ball, if you stand in the middle of the park, you can look out at gorgeous green hills (or, 'mountains' as little kids may call them). Harpeth Knoll isn't a destination park. It's a neighborhood/local focal point, perfect for letting the kids burn off some steam, reading a book as the sun massages your shoulders and walking barefoot in the green grass as you look out at new hills to climb. On days like today, any of those are good reasons to visit. It shouldn't, though, take days like today to do so.
