I live within 15-min. of Moss-Wright Park. Since retiring, and only working part-time now, a friend and I meet at this park twice a week, Tues/Fri, to walk 4 miles. We have walked in 20-something degree weather and 98 degree weather. The staff at the main office and gift shop are super friendly. They dress up like Pioneers and do tours of Mansker Station. Folks can bring their dogs for walking, in a different area than the walking trails. There is also a dog park for folks that don't necessarily want to walk, but want to give their pets a treat. Bikers can ride safely. There's a separate playground for children where parents can bring their kiddos to have some fun and exercise, to prepare them for nap time. And there are always security cops around, with cameras to avoid vandalism. Can't say enough good about Moss-Wright Park. Love... Love.. Love... this place.

this review specific to Parthenon replica: entertaining enough for adults and wondrous for children/kids. If your kid/s likes Percy Jackson they will be overjoyed to find some movie props (from the book adaptation) along with an impressive permanent exhibition inside. Clean bathrooms; good gift shop. Side note: the replica statues were created by a female artist--empowering visit for young girls.
4. Belmont Mansion
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 917 reviews
Belmont Mansion is the largest house museum in Tennessee and one of only a few whose history revolves around the life of a woman: Adelicia Acklen. The historic house is open to visitors for tours. Tickets may be purchased in advance or at the door. The house is also one of Nashville's most popular rental venues for weddings and events.

Experience Cheekwood, the 55-acre estate built by the Maxwell House Coffee fortune in Nashville, Tennessee, and one of the finest examples of an American Country Place Era Estate in the United States. The Botanical Garden is a spectacular showcase of color and horticultural diversity with eleven specialty display gardens and stunning natural landscape. The Museum of Art has collections of Painting, Sculpture and Decorative Arts. Visitors can enjoy year-round family-friendly activities with four distinct festivals held during the year. From Cheekwood in Bloom with more than 100,000 tulips in the Spring, to a children’s wonderland of Christmas trees, Trains, Santa, live reindeer, and more during Holiday LIGHTS, Cheekwood celebrates the seasons in style with something for everyone!

Our night tour to see the holiday lights at Cheekwood included a visit to the mansion as well as the 3 million Xmas lights throughout the grounds, some of which were unique in our experience. An added treat was the music of the professional carolers. It didn;'t hurt that the weather was perfect during our stay.

This is an extensive park near East Nashville with plenty to do for all ages, FREE and FUN! There are affordable bicycle rentals near the nature center, with an extensive paved roadway and other gravel/dirt paths that follow the Cumberland River. Love the Nature Center too; and you don't have to be a kid to enjoy!

A 2681 acre park 7 miles southwest of downtown Nashville.
Reviewed By Duracraft
This is an incredibly beautiful park. Be warned, though, that Google Maps will not take you to the trail head. We had to circle around awhile to find that. It's also wise to take a picture of the park map as the trails themselves are not well marked (usually with just a color that sometimes changed mid-trail). The park itself is massive and beautiful. Even though we went during Spring Break, we encountered few people. We saw several wildlife, including wild turkeys. You can choose the length of the trail that you want to take. It was a beautiful way to spend a morning.
8. Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 933 reviews
This 19 acre park in the heart of Nashville serves as a monument to the bicentennial celebration of the State of Tennessee. This park offers plenty of opportunities to learn about the long history of Tennessee while having a great experience in a beautiful green space. More information on this park and many more can be found at the TN State Parks website.

Great place to stroll with the family. Large park allowed social distancing and included multiple historical markers teaching quite a bit about Tennessee history and its impact on the rest of the nation. Park is well positioned to serve many needs and included families walking, joggers, and people with pets. Proximity to the Farmers' Market makes it a good spot for picnic lunch especially given the scenery. If we lived in the area, this would probably be a regular stop for us.
9. Radnor Lake State Park

This park is over 1300 acres in size and houses a uniquely diverse range of biodiversity, making it great for nature observation. There are 6+ miles of trails in this day-use only park. Opportunities to learn about the biodiversity here are available at the visitor’s center, the aviary complex, and through the many Ranger led programs. More information on this park and many more can be found at the TN State Parks website.

This is a great place to walk, however, parking is a REAL issue since everyone loves it there. There are several trails on both sides of the street. Whatever your level of fitness is, there is a trail for you.
