Green Hills Park

Park Overview

Situated in the heart of Nashville's Green Hills neighborhood, this 12-acre public park offers a welcome breath of fresh air from city life. Right next to John Trotwood Moore Middle School, Green Hills Park has become a cherished spot for locals seeking outdoor recreation. With its flat terrain, the park is super accessible - perfect if you're wrangling kids or just want a hassle-free outdoor experience.

Amenities and Features

The park's 1/3 mile walking path is excellent for getting your steps in. Whether you're up for a casual stroll or looking to break a sweat, this well-maintained track sees plenty of action from joggers and walkers throughout the day.

The park's landscape features open grassy areas and gentle berms - ideal spots to throw down a blanket and relax. If you're planning a gathering, you'll appreciate the clean picnic areas with tables scattered across the grounds.

Sports options abound with tennis courts, a basketball court, and a softball field available for the athletically inclined. There's even a disc golf course if you're looking to try something different from the usual park activities.

Playground and Recreation

Kids have plenty of room to burn off energy at the clean and safe playground that's thoughtfully designed for various ages and abilities. What really stands out is the special needs area, making play accessible for everyone. Young adventurers particularly enjoy scaling the rock climbing wall - it's usually bustling with determined little climbers.

Water fountains are available for both you and your four-legged friends, a thoughtful touch that adds to the park's welcoming atmosphere.

Dog-Friendly Environment

Your pups are welcome here, but do keep them leashed at all times. The open spaces and walking path make Green Hills Park a pleasant spot to exercise your dog while you enjoy some outdoor time together.

Community Events

The annual Green Hills Park Festival, typically held in September, is a highlight for the park. This family-friendly gathering brings together local vendors, food trucks, live music, and activities that appeal to all ages - a true neighborhood celebration.

Park Support

Since 2015, the Friends of Green Hills Park, a volunteer-run nonprofit, has been the driving force behind many improvements you see today. The facilities and restrooms are well-maintained thanks to their efforts.

These community volunteers have focused on enhancing the park's features and improving walk and bike connections to nearby green spaces.
