    Cool park to walk around and simply enjoy life. A nice walking path and as I crossed the bridge on the footpath, I saw three deer. I would recommend here for a quick moment to recharge your batteries.

    Wow what a great park for walking pups and the scenes of the turning trees during a wet autumnal day. The park is very well manicured and great efforts go to maintaining the facility. The park is a gem and offers signage on your walking distance periodically throw your stroll. The pups love the ride from Nashville to the park and were rewarded with a pups friendly experience. I will surely be back sooner then later.

    Cute little art wall on the path at Pinkerton!

    Love this park so much! The walking path around the actual park is an easy 1 mile. If you're feeling adventurous you can certainly go off the path and hike up to Fort Granger. This is a bit more strenuous but definitely worth the view! People are so friendly and it's totally safe to walk there alone. This is my go to place when I want a quick jaunt and it helps me get my steps in! Also they have a huge playground for the kids AND a place to hang up your hammock. Talk about AWESOME- I've only seen that in Hawaii!!

    A great park in Franklin. Very easy and safe parking, clean and well kept grounds and neat to be somewhere with a bit of history. Wonderful place to relax and feel away from the stress of Nashville. Highly recommend as a place to explore and get some steps in walking around.

    I love this little park in Franklin! It was a perfect place to run through for a light and easy 3.5-mile loop from downtown. The little bits of public art were fun and the paved trails were in great condition.

    Great playground completely enclosed. Something for all ages. Even an outdoor ping-pong table with 25 cent vending machine for balls. Bring your own paddles.

    I developed an early childhood grudge against this park when every school year, twice a year, they made us kiddos come here and run a timed mile around the park's paved loop. I hated every second of that mile run and nearly always got news that my time was less than average or "healthy". Anyways, I have gotten past those chubby cheek years and have grown to love this little hideaway of a park. I love bringing the pup here for a romp around and the place is great for kids, equipped with a fully decked out, youngsters dream of a hide-and-seek castle. The park is also ideal for groups of kids or teens to gather and have a birthday celebration or girl/cub scout meeting. My favorite part about Pinkerton though is the trail that leads up to the old civil war fort in the back. The view atop the hill is so pretty and perfect on a sunny fall day. Definitely looking forward to more hikes, romps and picnics at the local park.

    Great park for the young ones after a long day of driving. Great stop in Franklin before another day of driving tomorrow!

    One of the best maintained and beautiful parks in Williamson county. Love the trails, good bathroom facilities, tree covered paths, and great parking area. Perfect really for walking and just enjoying the greenery.

I sometimes walk but mostly bike on the trails with a little one. They are relatively flat and because they are so long, they are rarely crowded. The trail users vary in age and there are plenty of blind curves, so it's not a place to go for fast biking. The scenery is varied and the majority of the trails are shaded. As a bonus, there are lots of places you can dip your feet in the Little Harpeth River. You can bike from Smith Park to the south to Tower Park north of Concord Road. The trails also connect to various neighborhoods, the Brentwood Library, and the Brentwood YMCA. Five stars. Playgrounds: there are several playground at Crockett Park/River Park. The main one near Woodland Middle School between baseball fields. It's large with a divided small kids and big kids section. Kids love it, and there are plenty of benches and tables for parents to sit or for a lunch break. Five stars. Frisbee golf course: 18 holes and, unlike many in the area, clear signage. Some holes are similar and a few are pretty short, but overall good course for a quick game. Four stars. Restrooms: these are all over the park. Some are closed part of the year, but for the most part they are open and reasonably clean for public restrooms. Four stars. Parking: You can park more places than I can count off the top of my head to start your walk, jog, bike ride or attend a sporting event. Amphitheatre: The Eddy Arnold Amphitheatre is great for summer concerts, of which there are many every year. Sports fields: I don't use them at this time, but they are very well maintained and there are a lot of football, soccer, and baseball fields. Parking: You can park more places than I can count off the top of my head to start your walk, jog, or bike ride. This is handy for days when the fields are crowded for soccer and/or football games, because you can avoid the traffic. Most lots are adjacent to a trail. Check it out for one or more of these features when you get a chance.

    Aspen Grove Park is tucked away just off of Cool Springs Boulevard between business/office space…read moreand retail plazas. The plaza it sits directly behind houses McAlisters, Moe's, Burger Up, PF Changs and more. The main entrance is located on Aspen Grove even though the address shows Cool Springs Boulevard. When you pull in, you pull into a small parking lot, a brick building that houses the restrooms to the left, start of the trails to the right and then a nice brick pavilion that houses several picnic and patio tables, a fireplace/grill and a little free library station. Just beyond the pavilion is a grassy area and playground. The park has one main trail with four off shoots creating 5 paved trails each ranging from .10/mile to .60 mile. If you make a few laps you can make a nice distance out of it. Most of the trails end and start in the park area, however one ends/starts near Core Life eatery. All the paths are paved and 90% of the trails are covered in foliage. The trails also feature a few cool bridges that cross the creek, and there are a few grill/picnic areas along the trails as well. I have driven by this park for years now, and honestly am surprised at the space and trails. I am impressed with the simple layout, covered trails, cute creek and the calm that it brings, even in the middle of retail and office suites!

    Writing about war and memorials is difficult for many people, myself included. I have ancestors and…read morefamily members who fought in the American Revolutionary War and virtually every war since then, including me - with service in Vietnam. (I also served in the US Peace Corps under Sergeant Schriver, so I've seen contributions of US citizens on many levels and many "fronts"). One of the most controversial aspects is the memorializing or celebrating sacrifices of women and men who fought for their beliefs...regardless of which "side" they served during the conflict. The monuments at Winstead Hill Park are no exception. Granted, this was a significant vantage point for the Confederate Army in the Battle of Franklin. But, how should this area be commemorated? (Apparently some reviewers think it should not be here at all.) There are newer monuments to people who fought on both sides, especially those reflected in the 2021 "Fuller Story" located in downtown Franklin. But I am writing this review simply as my observations on a visit to this place. I am not trying to judge whether it should or should not be celebrated or here in the first place. The park has some easy-to-navigate walking paths...relatively level and smooth with only a few gentle rises to negotiate. IMHO walking paths in this part of the park, are very handicap friendly. A few markers dot the paths in this relatively small "park"... the staging and observations area for the Confederates. However, the actual "memorial" to the Confederate Units ("Sons of the Confederate Memorial") and their leadership is a different story. It is a very steep, difficult climb up a poorly designed and awkwardly - only partially paved - "trail". The monuments to the Confederate Units are rather imposing considering the limited space in which they are displayed. Once you arrive at the top, the view does provide a quite expansive look over what would have been the Union troop placements and defenses near the town. BUT, the access is so steep and difficult, anyone with limited mobility should not attempt...and if you are in a wheel chair...it is categorically impossible. Bottom line: a nice, quiet park area that evokes mixed emotions for many visitors.

    The preservation of history is well done and perfect for walking. I love this park so much!read more
