Bel Air Park

Park Overview

Positioned in Clarksville, Tennessee, Bel Air Park spans a generous 10.1 acres of green space that's become something of a nearby retreat. This public recreational area has all the essentials for a quality outdoor experience without any unnecessary frills. It's the kind of place where local families gather on weekends and fitness enthusiasts squeeze in their daily exercise.

Walking Trails & Athletic Fields

If you're looking to stretch your legs, the park's 0.5-mile walking trail offers just enough distance to get your heart pumping without overwhelming you. Two loops around and you've knocked out a mile - meant for tracking your daily steps. Sports enthusiasts will appreciate the two soccer practice fields where you'll often spot local youth teams running drills. The basketball courts also draw a regular crowd, from casual players shooting hoops to more competitive weekend games.

Playground Facilities

In 2018, the park got a significant upgrade with a new playground that follows Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) guidelines. This thoughtful renovation means children of all abilities can play together - something that truly makes this park stand out. The inclusive design creates a space where every child can find something enjoyable, regardless of mobility challenges.

Amenities & Open Spaces

Sometimes you just need room to breathe, and Bel Air delivers with its open green space that's fantastic for impromptu frisbee games or spreading out a blanket to read. You'll come across picnic tables scattered throughout, making it easy to plan an outdoor lunch. The benches positioned along the walking paths offer welcome rest spots, particularly appreciated on warmer Tennessee days. The mix of paved areas and grassy fields means you can easily switch up your activities depending on your mood.

Restroom Facilities

Yes, there are public restrooms available - a practical necessity for any extended park visit. Just keep in mind that cleanliness can be hit or miss depending on when you visit.

Former Facilities

Old-time Clarksville residents might remember splashing around in the park's swimming pool during hot summer days. Sadly, structural issues led to its permanent closure as of 2023. The city is currently looking into ways to repurpose this area, so don't be surprised if you see some changes on future visits.
