This just might be one of the nicest city parks we've ever experienced.
We first encountered it in our last few hours of our first flying visit to Nashville, and vowed to investigate it further if we ever managed to return. Fortunately, the city left such an impression on us, we actually returned the next year (2017), allowing us to get to know the park better.
The timeline wall detailing historic events was a fascination as well as an education. The kids playing in the fountains in an attempt to stay cool, charming. The open space in the middle of the hubbub of the city, a welcome escape. The views up to the civic buildings atop the hill are great, but by far our most favourite thing was the chiming clock towers at the far end of the park. We shared a wee moment of magic up there when we managed to get the place to ourselves. Don't miss it, and if you arrive late or early, wait for the show on the hour. It's a joy!

This is a great place to go in Nashville to learn about history and the role all of Tennessee played throughout the years.  While this park shows many facts like a museum,  anyone can just walk, jog, sit on the grass, or even enjoy the multiple water fountains during warm weather. The park is good for meetings and school trips as well.  - source - Nashville resident for decades

The only state park in an urban area in the United States! Unique monuments and lots of fun events! A must see when visiting Nashville.

The park is a representation of  all 95 Tennessee Counties. One side is divided into East,Middle and West with each county having a space and a star for each county seat. The side next to the Farmer's Market has state history.The end closest to the Capitol has an amphitheater and the Ranger's station. The opposite has a carillon.The parks affords some of the best views of Capitol Hill and parks of downtown. There are big open spaces for frisbee or kites.

It was inspiring. Would have liked to march longer, maybe to Alexander & Corker's offices. Great to see women, men and children of all ages standing together for equality and freedom.
