Elmington Park — Attraction in Nashville-Davidson

This park is on Huge ginormous square! So you park on the side that has what you need. If you play soccer then you'll love this park. Great big open green grass for two games at same time. They even have a baseball diamond with backstop and bleachers! Plenty of space to bring blanket to picnic and watch a game. On weekends during Nashville sports league game soccer there are about 4 to 5 food trucks who come regularly on weekends during game time generally from 11am to 5pm or later depending on crowds and when games end and sun goes down since no lighting available. Trucks selling everything like snowcones, fruit cups, wraps, burgers and I even saw a lobster truck. Also great place for the LARPers (live action role players) on Sundays starting about 1pm.

Update: They do have great play ground area (sitting in gravel pit for safety) slide, swings, climbing equipment etc., on south end of park for kids. Lots of moms with strollers and dogs on leashes ( snow cone stand sells pup cup of chicken broth snowcone for your pooch! Porta Potty's are found 1 on each side of the square park. Also 2 to 3 picnic tables on each side of the square park. Someone mentioned grills, but I never saw any as I drove around. See pics of Food truck options, NSL soccer and LARPs going...

Parking is a challenge, if you are not able bodied, there is some handicap parking at the school, on the right side of the building.

Cool tunnels that every baby I've given birth to have crawled thru.

Overrun with middle schoolers most of the year but only from around 3:55-6ish.

We saw the eclipse here, yall remember? I do.

This city holds the highs and lows for so many of us, the places where we were fractured and the settings where we rise exponentially and find each other.

Anyway. Food trucks and movies in the park sometimes. And Larping, Sundays I...

Nice playground with a good slide, big and little kid areas close together, and a sandbox of sorts. Downsides are that it's not fenced in, when the school next door lets out its overrun with big kids, and the parking situation is beyond lousy (official parking is clear across the park with no stroller trail from it to the playground and street parking is minimal, tenuous, and overrun when school is about...
