Just as spring, arguably the most glorious season on Nashville’s greenways, arrived, our world profoundly changed. Still, the greenways continue to provide spaces in which our community can retreat and revive. For their health and wellness. For solitude and sanctuary. For fresh air and much-needed fun!

Greenways for Nashville thanks all who have helped to create and maintain these spaces. See you on the greenways!

Adding Acres For The Future

Nashville’s public open space acreage has expanded by nearly 200 acres through the addition of three new acquisitions. In July 2019, Metro Parks acquired 106.93 acres of open space on the southern portion of Bells Bend along the Cumberland River near the terminus of Old Hickory Blvd where Cleeces Mill was located and Cleeces Ferry operated until 1990. Just 1.5 miles south of Bells Bend Park, the land is to be preserved for public open space, park land, and a future segment of the Cumberland River Greenway. Most recently, the site operated as a sod farm and before that was utilized for pasture and row crops. At one time, the site was owned by Eastman-Kodak for a possible chemical plant that was never built and, in 1989, was considered as a landfill site.

Metro has acquired 64 acres to expand Mill Ridge Park in Southeast Davidson County. The preservation of this property will serve as the final missing piece in completing the nearly 600-acre regional park. Additionally, Metro has received an easement on 22 acres for the future development of the Dry Creek Greenway in the Madison/ Goodlettsville area.

These open space acquisitions are critical in preserving green space in our growing city. The continued preservation of open space for parks and greenways will aid in improving the quality of life for all Nashvillians Bells Bend acreage recently acquired by Metro Parks through conservation, outdoor recreation, relaxation, and overall health and well-being.

Greenways Make the Healthy Way the Easy Way

he evidence is clear – exercise can boost your mood, sharpen your focus, reduce stress and improve sleep. TSo, why don’t more of us do it?

15 14th Annual Dinner by the Bridge Thursday, September 24

The 14th annual Dinner by the Bridge is being planned on the Cumberland River Greenway Esplanade at the foot of the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge. We are thrilled to announce that Sherry and Mark Deutschmann are joining us for their second year as event chairs.

We sure hope to see you, but if health guidelines sideline our event our committee is planning a host of ways to celebrate our mission, honor our sponsors, and unite our community—literally and virtually.
