A great tour of some of the music landmarks of Nashville, including Music Square East and West, the Wyatt Center, and Owen Bradley Park. Campus of Vanderbilt University is a nice add-on.
A nice run combining Centennial Park, home to Nashville’s Parthenon — a replica of the Athenian Parthenon and featuring American art galleries, with the 300-acre Vanderbilt campus, which doubles as an arboretum. Also a running track.
2600 acres of forest and field located minutes south of downtown. The historic entrance is marked by “The Allee”, an impressive set of stone steps, leading to great views of the Nashville skyline. Can also connect to Harpeth River Greenway. Popular 11.2 mile road loop option.
A beautiful, paved trail with impressive views of the Cumberland River. Keep your eye out for Spot Opryland’s General Jackson Riverboat. A good option on a hot day.

One of many of Nashville’s evolving system of greenways, about 15 minutes West of downtown. The multi-use trail loops around McCabe Park, along Richland Creek, and a section cool for railroad buffs.
