Two Rivers Park

Where Rivers Meet

Set in Nashville's Donelson area, Two Rivers Park sprawls across 374 acres where the Cumberland River and Stones River converge. This natural junction creates a beautiful backdrop for all kinds of outdoor adventures.

The park's extensive green spaces and winding trails offer some pretty spectacular views of both rivers. Walking across the bridge over the Cumberland provides an especially picturesque vista - well-suited for those Instagram-worthy nature shots, a peaceful fishing spot, or simply watching local wildlife go about their day.

Nature's Playground

Two Rivers blends open meadows with patches of forest, creating diverse little ecosystems around the park. If you're a serious nature enthusiast or just looking for a pleasant afternoon outdoors, there's something here for you.

If you're up for a bit of exploration, don't miss the Springhouse trail - a tranquil path that feels worlds away from city life. In the fall, you might spot locals gathering nuts under the massive Black Walnut and Hickory trees that dot the landscape. It's a bit of foraging tradition that connects visitors to the natural rhythms of the park.

Get Moving

Active types will find plenty to love here. The 18-hole disc golf course winds through the park, challenging players of all skill levels. If you're visiting during summer months, Wave Country water park offers a refreshing escape from Tennessee heat with various aquatic attractions.

Skateboarders can show off their skills at the skate park, while cyclists and walkers appreciate the connection to the Shelby Bottom Greenway. The network of trails throughout the park makes it easy to get your steps in while surrounded by nature.

Family Fun

Kids have their own spaces to explore at Two Rivers. There's a thoughtfully designed toddler-friendly playground with appropriate safety features for the little ones, plus a separate playground where older children can tackle more challenging jungle gym equipment.

Planning a gathering? Several picnic shelters can be reserved for family reunions, birthday parties, or other get-togethers. These shaded areas with multiple tables are conveniently located near the playgrounds - making it easy to keep an eye on the kids while enjoying your meal.

With so much open space, you'll also see plenty of people jogging, walking their dogs, or tossing a frisbee around on nice days.

Practical Matters

Restrooms are available within the park, but you might occasionally encounter portable toilets depending on the maintenance schedule. It's always good to check which facilities are open during your visit.

A Touch of History

Adding a bit of historical charm to the park is the Two Rivers Mansion, an impressive structure dating back to 1859. While the mansion isn't always open for tours, its stately presence and grounds enhance the park's character.

Regardless of whether you're seeking a peaceful nature walk, family playground time, or active recreation, Two Rivers Park offers a welcome green space within Nashville's city limits - a place where urban life and natural beauty flow together, just like the rivers that give it its name.
