Long Hunter State Park is such a gem. I ran the Couchville Loop, which is about a 2-mile loop, and…read moreit was perfect for an easy, scenic run. The trail is mostly flat with just a few small hills, so it feels very accessible for people of all ages and fitness levels. The views of the lake are beautiful, and the bridges you get to walk or run over add a really nice touch. I went in January when it was cooler, and it was not crowded at all, super peaceful and relaxing. Parking was free, which is always a win, and there are bathrooms and a water bottle refill station on site. There's also a park ranger station and a boardwalk that goes out to the lake (though it was closed when I went). Other visitors mentioned they sometimes see wild turkeys and other animals along the trail. No wildlife sightings for me this time, but still an amazing experience. If you're looking for a scenic, low-stress running or walking spot, this place is absolutely worth a visit!

My husband and I recently took our new pup to this trail and had an amazing time. There's lots of places to park upon arriving and many different trail routes to take. It felt clean, welcoming, and super safe! So happy we found this park. The only thing we wish it also had were trash cans along the path to dispose of dog bags. We would also love if they would add a couple water fountains along the path for dogs to drink out of! They've had this at some other parks we've been to and we really appreciated it. Great park with nice trails to walk around on a nice day! We'll definitely be back.

I have been on a local park kick lately, so when I was cruising around the roads deep in Antioch…read moreand passed Antioch Park, I made a quick u-turn to check it out! The park, while aptly named Antioch Park, is just as much a community center, if not more so, than park. It features a center that offers meeting, function and activity space, along with outdoor courts and other areas. I was not here for any of that, as I was after the trails, which the park does offer as well. The trails are minimal here, but are solid for a good walk. As with most Nashville metro parks, the trails take you through nature and are surrounded by woods and all that good stuff. Overall, I am not in the area often, but glad I got to check Antioch Park off my "walking trail" list!

There were quite a few people in the park, just enjoying the park. We need parks. We need parks both as a community and individually. We need a place where we as a community can gather in recreation. We need a place to escape the asphalt and steel of the world that we created and retreat back to the world as we as a species found it. We need these plots of unblemished nature. We need it and our souls need it. Overall, I will give Whitsett Park five stars and if you find yourself in the area, I would definitely recommend stopping by Whitsett Park. I am confident that you will enjoy this particular park. Go check it out yourself, even if to unwind for just a little while.

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.

This past weekend there was a 14 U baseball tournament and baseballs were CONSTANTLY flying around spectator viewing areas as well as landing in other baseball fields during games?!?!? Every 1-2 minutes during games fans were screaming "HEADS UP" because there were so many baseballs being hit outside of the field. The current set up is not safe to host middle school and high school baseball. Lastly, the entrance and walkway in the park does not meet ADA regulations. People cannot safely propel wheelchairs or walkers on the small ramp nor on the walkway leading to the fields. The walkway is uneven, surface area needs replaced and there are large potholes.

So upon walking in, I immediately told the woman behind the counter, "I was here in 1997, and I passed up the opportunity to milk a cow. Can you help me?" And she just laughed and told me there had been a lot of changes. The cow milking and butter churning hands on activities of the past are gone, but in its place is a gorgeous museum with amazing artifacts. It works hard to tell a linear story of the importance of agriculture in Tennessee. There's definitely a lack of identifying signage in many of the display cases, which is an oversight I'll forgive since I'd imagine most of their audience is schoolchildren that are given a formal tour. I didn't explore much of the grounds- besides a stadium used for training police horses that I definitely wasn't supposed to go in, that I peeked in after vague memories of watching some weaving display in concrete stadium seats as a kid. I will be back to view more of the grounds in warmer weather.
