Just like kids are supposed to be. After they tired of the assortment of knuckle busters, I lost sight of the skalawags. But soon, I found them on the other side of the park. They were engaged in a sword battle using fallen branches. I thought to myself, this ain't gonna end good. Sure enough, one got stabbed in the leg, and the fallen soldier had to beat a quick retreat to the infirmary. Oh, to be a kid again. Quick Tip: Bring along some salted beef, biscuits, or maybe a wheel of cheese matey. There arrrr plenty of picnic tables for ye to set the bones on.

There's also a cute local book box where you can leave a book or take one home to try! There are grills to use, plus a small creek and a walking trail that connects to the adjacent neighborhood. Surrounded by a paved walking trail (just shy of 1/3 mile long), the playground has plenty of equipment for little ones on up through elementary & middle school set on wood chips. There are several benches around the edges of the play area for parents to relax (unless you're on swing-pushing duty) while watching their kids run off some energy!

The crab cakes were a 4/5 - my husband felt like there was a little too much filler. The remoulade was delicious - and it would have been good to have just a bit more. I had the lamb chops on top of chimichurri sauce, which was a great way to serve because you get to decide how much sauce. The lamb chops could have had the fat trimmed a bit pre and they were slightly overcooked but not enough to send back. Just a note to the kitchen. My 2 sides were loaded Brussels sprouts and they were cooked perfectly. I also had the cowboy corn sauce, which was delicious. My husband had a burger, which was a 5/5. Roll was great and completely prepared to his order. Drinks were delicious - I had the Coco Melon. Nick had beer. We definitely will be coming back.

We first started at the castle looking playground which is Huge with many climbing structures, swing, and a sand box area!

And lots of picnic tables around the area which was great for our picnic we packed! Highly recommend

There is a nice creek that runs about 3/4 of the way around as well. Truly just a wonderful slice of nature to go enjoy!

The path here claims it is 0.90 miles, but it's more like 0.80-0.85 just as an FYI to those counting the miles.

Make sure that gas tank is full beforehand! Definitely a go to spot, they just need to work on better logistics.

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
