It is open from 5AM to 9PM, with a great deal of its traffic coming in during early morning and during dinner time. If I get the chance to come during the day without everyone else being here, then that is the most ideal situation. I enjoy swimming while my husband does weights. It is a nice place to relax, but the swimming area can be a zoo when school is out during the hotter months. Between swim lessons and the outdoor pool open, it can be overwhelming. I just stick to the swim lanes and call it a day. I think overall the facility is clean and customer service are friendly. Parking can be a nightmare, but you can always find a space. You might have to walk, but it is what it is.

We really enjoy the pool and the park. NOTES from our July 4th trip: Great place to go swimming... On Friday Fourth of July..Tony, Noel and I packed a picnic lunch in the cooler and headed out for some fun..We went to Cedar of Lebanon State Park (free to enjoy) and entered to the swimming pool area. A great price of only $4 per person. $2 if you are a camper. The pool area is nice and large with plenty of room to move around and layout. There is NO concession area here but you can bring in your own cooler. Food has to be eaten in a certain area where there is picnic tables available. But you can bring in drinks (plastic bottle only) and drink by your area, some people were snacking on chips and fruit..so I guess that is okay..no one stopped them.. You can smoke but outside of the gated pool area only. You get a hand stamp to get in and out. Also you can leave and come back the same day with the hand stamp which is good..so if you want to go eat and come back to swim some more. The hours are Wednesday thru Sunday 10:30 to 7pm..Closed on Monday and Tuesday.. What I really liked about the pool area is that it is NOT that crowded. The swimming pool itself is really large and there is a diving board..I really liked this pool area. You can bring floats and water toys and bring your own lounge chairs which is really nice. Every hour they have a pool check with a 15 minute break which is good too...keeps every safe and kids under control. The staff was nice and lifeguards young but doing their jobs also a plus..I will definitely go here again.. After we left the pool area we went to the picnic area down the park road a bit and had a cook out. Where we enjoyed a nice semi shaded area and we grilled out hotdogs and hamburgers enjoying some homemade potato salad and baked beans..A great day.. A great holiday and if you are on a BUDGET like I am ALWAYS...only $12 for the fun for a family of 3...Awesome day!!!

Predatory business practice…read more Do not let your college kids sign up for this service. The website does not allow you to cancel and they say you have to come in person. I told the woman on the phone that all of my kids were out of state and they couldn't come to cancel in person. She said that is the policy. I said that they stopped using it on Aug 2nd, but they charged me again on Aug 15th. I asked for the manager's email to email my cancellation. This was ignored. I sent another email which was ignored. We had to cancel the card that was setup to pay because they still have our account listed as active and we will not let them steal our money again.

Alonzo and James Carroll Napier were born Nashville, to a freedman and blacksmith. The school…read moreadjacent to the park is named for Alonzo, and the park is named for James Carrol. J. C. Napier attended Wilberforce College, Oberlin College, and Howard University. He worked as an attorney, and a banker, before getting enveloped in civil service. He served on the Nashville City Council, was in charge of the Centennial exhibits on black achievements, and served as a US register of the Treasury under President Taft. He began to push hard for local playgrounds for the local black community. This land was purchased by the Nashville Parks Board in 1913 for $1,500, and dedicated in J. C. Napier's name. Today the park sits with 2.13 acres, and has a playground, a swimming pool, and a community center. The park has hosted a lot in its time, from day camps, to tennis competitions, to basketball competitions, to concerts and plays, and even scouts. There's a beautiful mural here as well. The neighborhood is a poorer one, and it's concerning to see the bars on the windows of the homes surrounding the park. There's also no where to really park. But, it's worth it to see this gem of a park. It's one of the oldest in the city, and has a charm to it.

3.5 I'm rounding up…read morebecause there's a pool but a 3.5 rating is accurate. This is a neighborhood park to be sure. It, like many parks in the metro area, is connected to a(n elementary) school so unless you have little ones or are planning on spending your time in the attached community center (more on that), I would only come here during the weekend. Otherwise, you run the very real risk of looking like a creeper. The park itself is small. There's a metro sign, brick lettering and a small (like, suitable for an elementary school game of kickball -- not one played by adults) field and that's about it for the green space. The playground is a part of the school. While I'm sure (at least, I hope) it's accessible to the neighborhood kids, it's not part of the park proper. Another not so great aspect of the park is is the proximity to the street. If said elementary school kids were playing kickball and the ball got past the outfielder, you have kids running into traffic. There's no fence or anything else to block the kids off from cars. As a park, the green space doesn't make a lot of sense -- especially when it should be serving the needs of the community/neighborhood. The community center is a different story. There's plenty of parking, ample air conditioning, many rooms, and the above-mentioned pool. These are all pluses and make me consider the viability of the park apart from the community center. I think they should be reviewed together, so I am sticking with the 3.5/4 rating but, again, this is closer to 3.5. Yes, the park is across the street from the Napier Homes but I didn't feel any sort of way during the day on a Saturday. I'm sure it's different at night but there's not many parks you should be at at night. #facts As Nashville grows and the cash/land grab extends its all-consuming paws this way, I am sure Napier Park will change. That will be a very good/bad/sad thing... and it's coming. It's definitely coming.

One big pro for the Y is that you can visit any Mid-TN location. There's a location near the office so I can avoid some traffic and get a workout in there if I'm feeling it.

With the eyes that have been on Cleveland Park of late, I am surprised to be the first review for this neighborhood destination. 'Discovering' what the park had to offer was a joy; it's a perfect spot for nearby locals. One thing I enjoyed about the park is that it was utilized. People who have been in the neighborhood for a while were throughout the community center, working the front desk, playing basketball and ping pong, playing with their kids on the playground... I hope the neighborhood can hold on to the character and community it enjoyed before the boom... because the park is a great neighborhood resource. Nestled squarely within the Cleveland Park neighborhood (and a nice smattering of original homes and the new abominations developers are hellbent on popping up all over the city), the actual park is a few city blocks of greenery, mature trees, 2 baseball diamonds, a soccer field, community center, swimming pool (!), indoor & outdoor basketball courts, meeting rooms, foosball, and a pavilion for lunching. With a generous parking lot, I was impressed with how well maintained the park is and how deceptively large it is. In roaming all around it, I was surprised to find more hidden gems. There's a walking trail that abuts a tennis court that could use some TLC. It also overlooks train tracks (the vegetation hides them for the most most). But this is, truly, a neighborhood park. It's extremely well-planned and offers resources for residents to enjoy as a community. Some of the parks/green spaces we explore are more of the 'open field' sort -- and that's fine. There's a lot of beauty in wide open spaces. But to come across a park that had a specific plan, a conception borne of need and execution that delivers -- and on the east side -- well, it's a joy to encounter. Cleveland Park (the park) is a joy. Explore your metro and discover it for yourself.

The history of the property isn't very well documented, but in my research, I did find a lot of criminal activity here in the 1970s and 1980s. With East Nashville being gentrified over the last ten years, it will be interesting to see what changes happen to this park in the next few years, and how much money gets pumped into it. I did enjoy the trail along the perimeter, and the layout is very typical of Ben West-era parks.
