Taking a stroll through this park is like going back in time. Really pretty park and great information about the 200 years of history of Nashville and Tennessee. Great views of the capitol building from here, too. A couple of neat fountains, too. One of the highlights of my trip to the city, for sure. More

My husband and I passed through the park on our way from the Hermitage to Monell's. We LOVED walking through right at dusk (and again after dark). The Capitol is beautiful, and the park gave us lots of great photo ops. The map of each county and info on the settling of TN and such were very interesting too. My... More

There was a great wall that was a historical time line, musical bell towers ring at the hour and play music, an outstanding tribute to the World War veterans, a farmers market, beautiful scenery, and more. A relaxing and interesting place for all to spend an afternoon. More

Really nicely done. Tennessee history in an hour. WW2 memorial is also very nice. Check out the farmers market just across the street for good affordable lunch. More

We were visting and went to this well planned urban park with trails, open spaces, monuments, a huge map of the state that you can walk on and a great pathway with much information about the state's history by date. Wonderful park and terrific use of public funds. More

I love taking strolls around the part at lunch. I wish there was more seating for lunch/picnicking. And what about that lovely stage area? Does anyone ever use that? More
