Making Connections on Nashville’s Greenways

It does not take long to look around Nashville and see that we are in a period of dynamic change

and growth. Announcements of corporate reloca-tions and new commercial and residential develop-ments are in the air. Big things are happening in our built environment and people from all over the country (and world) are discovering that Nashville is a welcoming and a great place to live and to work.

Many of us sense that there has never been a more important time to balance this growth and change with investments in our greenways — linear parks with paved multi-use trails. Greenways are THE MOST requested amenity by Nashvillians of our Parks Department, and for good reason:

• They provide respite from our increasingly dense urban environment.

• They are a place for recreation, for exercise, and they enhance our health and well-being.

• They also provide a safe corridor for pedestrians and cyclists to move in our city safely, away from traffic.

As important as all of those things are, our greenways also provide a real sense of place and connection in Nashville. That may be the most critical thing for us to consider at this moment. As we see examples of division around us in the news every day, perhaps we as Nashvillians should consider the things that can connect us; connect our neighborhoods; make us all feel a part of this place and of each other. Our greenways provide us with connection and when we put these investments in all areas of our community that want them, it helps us physically connect to one another. The benefits of our greenways can accrue for all of us.

At over 90 miles, our greenways are truly a gem of Nashville. We have made real progress over the years thanks to the vision and work of many in this city. We have big ideas for the future and those ideas will require the vision and effort of many more in our community to bring them to life. It is exciting to consider.

Let us know your thoughts. If you would like to become more involved with Greenways for Nashville let us know that too. We would love to hear from you.

— Pete Wooten Greenways For Nashville Board President

“ We can all agree that now is a very important time for us to come together as a community. Part of this is connecting our neighborhoods – Greenway investments in our community benefit all of Nashville’s residents.” PETE WOOTEN GREENWAYS FOR NASHVILLE BOARD PRESIDENT

Celebrating 25 Years: From “Not in My Backyard” to “Where is My Greenway?”

Not too many years ago, Nashville did not have a single greenway. Most of us were not aware of the benefits of public trails for connectivity, health, and the environment. But Former Mayor

Phil Bredesen was! In 1991, he and the Metro Council created the Greenways Commission and added a Greenways Division of Metro Parks. Unfortunately, as the first greenway was being planned, some residents expressed fear regarding the access that greenways would provide. “What if someone broke into my house, stole my television, and took off with it down the greenway?”

Clearly, if a greenway system were to succeed, we needed educational and public relations activities. So in 1994, the Greenways Commission established a not-for-profit friends group — Greenways for Nashville — to spread the word, to advocate to our leaders, and to provide support for the whole greenway system. We brought experts from other cities and held fascinating symposiums on greenways that were free and open to the public. We invited members of the Metro Council and other leaders on bus trips to other cities. (We were all shocked to discover that Chattanooga and Knoxville were both way ahead of Nashville! We walked on beautiful connecting trails, public parks throughout the city cores, and even a pedestrian bridge!) We held

a contest to determine which neighborhood groups most wanted greenways in their area, and would also work toward their completion. Nearly a dozen neighborhood groups made presentations to the Greenways Commission, and the Commission chose three to work on — Morton Mill at Harpeth River, Shelby Bottoms and the Stones River Greenway.

Now, celebrating 25 years as an organization, Greenways for Nashville can reflect on the progress that has been made to preserve greenspace in Nashville and the greenways system that our city has estab-lished. Looking forward, there is much work to be done. Creating and preserving public green space enriches people’s everyday lives and echoes our collective desire to be a more equitable, connected, and healthy community. We hope that as our city grows, so too does the land and open space that is allocated for parks and greenways.

— Ann Tidwell Greenways for Nashville Vice-President & Greenways and Open Space Commission Chairu Greenways and Open Space Commission: tinyurl.com/greenwaysopenspacecommission

“ As Nashville experiences dynamic growth, we must increase preservation of open space, save land for parks, and secure walkable connections before they disappear.”

Partners MatterOur supporting partners are some of Greenways for Nashville’s strongest

allies in continuing efforts to create, preserve, and promote a system of greenways in Nashville and Davidson County. From sponsoring events, to advocating on behalf of the future of the greenways, we are thankful for the support that they provide. Last year, Greenways for Nashville was honored as a non-profit beneficiary of SuperCoolFunFest, Highland Brewing’s Ales for Trails, and the Village Fund’s 22 in Revue Celebration. Also, we celebrated our 5th year as recipients of a $5,000 matching gift from First Farmers during #GivingTuesday. Because of this concentrated effort by our partners, we are better able to accomplish our shared vision for the greenways. Thank you! •

City Central Greenway System: Where Nashville Connects

The newly branded City Central Greenway System promises to enhance the lives of all Nashvillians, but especially those who explore, work,

live, and learn in the city’s dense urban center. By bringing more greenway connections into Nashville’s core, we will build community and foster unity.

The City Central Greenway System will have a transformative effect:

• Connecting the dots as a key element of transit and mobility solutions

• Promoting improved health and long-term wellness as a more walkable city

• Creating opportunities to experience nature and support conservation in the city

The City Central Greenway System is a combination of existing and proposed greenways creating “loops” around Nashville’s urban core.


The 12th Annual Dinner by the Bridge, benefiting Greenways for Nashville, was held on September 27th at the Musicians Hall of Fame

& Museum. Rain may have taken the party inside, but it did not dampen the festive atmosphere. This magical evening was co-chaired by Celeste Reed and Don Welch, Steve Sirls and Allen DeCuyper, and Sandra Duncan along-side honorary chairs Berdelle Campbell and Dolores Seigenthaler.

Before being seated, guests were greeted with opening remarks by Mayor David Briley. Dinner was served at signature farm style tables under beautiful string lights, followed by a dessert selection. Guests sipped on the signature “CityLights” cocktails, an event specialty named after the presenting sponsor, CityLights — marketed by Village.

Before and after dinner, guests took their smiles and creativity to an instant photo booth while the Craig Duncan Trio entertained the crowd. Every guest left with a custom tea towel, while Patrons took home attractive tabletop succulent gardens. The event raised more than $171,000 and will assist in the creation, promotion, and preservation of greenways in Nashville. Thank you to our sponsors, patrons, guests, and volunteers for a wonderful evening. •

Expanding Nashville’s Greenways

There’s no doubt about it, our city is growing! This year, we celebrated the opening of the 440 Greenway, a vital component of the City Central Greenway System, as

well as additional greenway extensions and expansions. We hope you will join us in looking towards a future with a better connected Nashville, and exploring the many greenways that will make that possible.

Just Opened440 Greenway — Elmington Park to Centennial Park On October 27th, Greenways for Nashville joined Metro

Parks and Recreation in celebrating the opening of the inaugural section of the 440 Greenway. A segment of the City Central Greenway System, this 1.25 mile off-street greenway paralleling I-440 takes users from Centennial Park to Elmington Park. This is the first of a planned 7 mile corridor along 440 that will provide green space recreation and meaningful transportation options while connecting numerous neighborhoods that are currently divided by interstates 40 and 440.

In addition to Metro capital funding, this segment of the 440 Greenway was made possible through right of way licenses generously provided by the Tennessee Department of Transportation and through public/private partnership support from Greenways for Nashville made possible through a substan-tial gift from HCA Healthcare. Additional supporters included 1221 Partners, LLC; Laura and John Cooper; Sherry and Mark Deutschmann; First Advantage Bank; Adam and Trish James; Joel Solomon Company; Janis and Mark McNeely; R.C. Mathews Contractor, LLC; Meredith Libbey and Phil Ryan; Meredith and Eric Schultenover; Urban Grout Commercial Real Estate; The Village Fund; Beth Vincent and Jane Anderson; and Mary Beth and James Weinberg.

Cumberland River Blueway Access Last summer, the Cumberland River Blueway Access at

McGavock Pike was opened. Made possible through a donation by Ryman Hospitality Properties in addition to the support of Councilman Jeff Syracuse and Tennessee Scenic River Association’s advocate and volunteer Patty Shultz, this new access has created a safer and easier way for users to enjoy the Cumberland River.

Whites Creek Greenway at Fontanel Last spring, .75 miles of greenway was added to the

Whites Creek Greenway at Fontanel. Soon, a pedestrian bridge will be constructed to complete the 2.25 mile loop that will connect with an additional 2 miles of hiking trails. Whites Creek Greenway at Fontanel is nestled in the heart of a rural historic district that includes a music, entertainment, and lodging venue.

Opening SoonBrowns Creek Greenway A component of Metro Nashville’s fairgrounds improvements, a .3 mile

segment of the Browns Creek Greenway at Fair Park will open this spring. This planned greenway will extend alongside the south end of the fairgrounds that border Browns Creek, and is included in plans for Fair Park that also provide an urban dog park and multi-purpose athletic fields.

Gulch Greenway — Frankie Pierce Park The Gulch Greenway is being extended and downtown Nashville is

getting a new park! Located just below the Tennessee State Capitol building, the new 2.5 acre Frankie Pierce Park and greenway extension is a partnership between Metro Nashville and Capitol View. The park will feature volleyball courts, a dog park, and playground. Additionally, a new segment of greenway will connect this new park with the existing Gulch Greenway on the south side of Charlotte Ave.

Under ConstructionGulch Greenway — 11th Avenue North The Gulch Greenway at Church Street and 11th Avenue is being recon-

structed as part of the new Asurion corporate hub development. Highwoods Property recently purchased the property where this first Gulch Greenway segment is located. In a prime example of public-private partnership, the proj-ect is funding improvements including realignment and construction of the 12 foot wide off-street multi-use greenway trail, lighting, canopy tree installation and a new vertical connection to the Church Street bridge overhead. This mixed use development is expected to be completed in 2021. The greenway trail has been temporarily rerouted during construction so that trail users will continue to have an off-street option for traveling through the Gulch.

Mill Creek Greenway — Mill Creek Park to Orchard Bend Park

Opening in 2019, this 2.25 mile greenway will connect the existing trailhead at Mill Creek Park to a new trailhead at Orchard Bend Park, a new park that will also be opening this year. This exciting extension means that the Mill Creek Greenway will now connect five neighborhoods, two parks, and two schools over the course of four miles along Mill Creek.

Mill Creek Greenway — Low Water Bridge In partnership with the Cumberland River

Compact, Metro Parks removed an aging creek crossing on Mill Creek Greenway and this summer will replace it with a low water bridge which, in the future, will serve as a connection for nearby neighborhoods to Mill Creek Park via the Greenway.

Whites Creek Greenway at Fontanel —Pedestrian Bridge

This summer Metro Parks will install a pedestrian bridge connecting Phase One and Phase Two of the Whites Creek Greenway at Fontanel.

In DesignCumberland River Greenway — Opry Mills Connector

Metro was awarded a grant from the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) to help build a greenway along the Cumberland River that connects Shelby Bottoms and Stones River Greenway with Opry Mills. This greenway will link Donelson/Hermitage, Downtown Nashville, and East Nashville to Opry Mills. Once completed, you will probably be able to bike to the mall faster than you can drive! •

Welcome Your Newest Greenway Drinking Fountains

Thanks to the support of generous donors, Greenways for Nashville was able to purchase two all-weather drinking foun-

tains for the greenways! This fall, the first fountain was installed at the Kohl’s Trailhead on the Stones River Greenway and, coming soon, a second will be placed on the Richland Creek Greenway near the youth baseball fields at McCabe Park. These all-weather drinking fountains feature a bottle refill station, ADA accessible drinking fountains, and even a dog bowl for your furry friend. •

Open Space: A Precious Commodity

Nashville’s public open space acreage continues to expand, and we are thrilled to announce the addition of two new acquisitions! Metro Parks is to receive 51 acres on the Harpeth River in

Bellevue for public open space and recreational use. Generously donated by the Dorothy Cate and Thomas F. Frist Foundation, the property boasts a substantial tree canopy. The acquisition of this land, and future greenway, will provide an important connection to the Harpeth River Greenway. Thank you to the Foundation for your generous donation this land will be a treasured component of Nashville’s parks and greenways for generations to come.

In addition, 53.72 acres of land is being acquired near the Stones River Regional Park. The property has potential to become an expansion of Lytle/Ravenwood Park, with a proposed extension of the Stones River Greenway. This land was part of the 1803-1807 Clover Bottom racetrack, tavern, and general store developed by Andrew Jackson before he became president. Additionally, the property was once home to a covered bridge at Dodson’s Ferry and the 1927 Clover Bottom Beach, a popular destination for Nashvillians who took to country roads in search of ideal picnic spots or swimming holes in the early 1900’s. Its preservation was made possible through Charles Smith, 1929-2017, a steward of this natural and scenic respite for many years. •

Leave No Trace: Even on the Greenways

Great Blue Heron photographed from the Harpeth River GreenwayPhoto: Charlie Curry

In the 1980’s, the Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics coined the phrase “Leave No Trace” to encourage National Park users to understand

the effects of our actions on plants, animals, other people, and even entire ecosystems. The principles behind Leave No Trace can be applied anywhere and at any time — even on the greenways! Remember to adhere to the trail rules, pack out what you bring in, properly dispose of all waste (including scooping your pet waste), respect wildlife, and always be considerate of other greenway users. When these principles are followed, we can minimize our impacts on the natural environment and ensure that the greenways are safe and accessible for all. •

A New Way to Navigate: Nashville’s Greenways Map

Last year we distributed almost 20,000 maps featuring nearly 90 miles of greenways across Davidson County. This year, we

are revamping Nashville’s Greenways map to highlight our greenway system and the connectivity that current and future greenways will provide. Due out this spring, the new map will be indispensable in navigating Nashville’s growing greenway network.

While you’re waiting for the updates, don’t forget we have an app! NashGr was launched in 2017 as an accompaniment to the Nashville’s Greenways Map. The free app is available for download from the Android or iTunes Stores. NashGr also connects to real-time schedules of the Nashville MTA bus system.

With longer days and sunny skies just around the corner, grab a new map, download the app, and enjoy Nashville’s beauty through the greenways. •
