Sevier Park — Attraction in Nashville-Davidson

Went to this park for the second time in a month and have had the best time with my charges. Easy to get to. There are two different parking lots leaving adequate parking for a good amount of people. I’ve never had an issue, no matter the time of day. We go back and forth between all 3 playgrounds with recycled floor padding (no sand! :-) makes for a very happy me. A wading creek that is an active creek is frequently been a very fun and adventurous activity filled with exploration. We have had picnic lunches at their designated picnic areas. I’ve seen birthday parties hosted in them. I’m not sure on the protocol on “reservations” for these huts. Very possibly first come, first serve. Dogs on leashes in most scenarios. A few children have been seen throwing a ball for a pooch or two, but a decent ways off from the playgrounds and other dogs.

I love how kids can play for just minutes, and find a “Friend” for hours of play. A porta potty is the only downside to this park. So be sure to have plenty of hand sanitizer on hand. Water fountains for dogs and humans are present but they are non functional, which is a bummer, so bring water for yourself, the kiddos, and the pooch. Trash cans and doggie waste bags available. We will find ourselves quite frequently at this park and maybe one day, maybe we will cross paths (you who are...

My goodness this is one of my favorite parks in Nashville. It's not very big but it's an easy respite from the city in the quant hamlet of 12 South. If you want to see little families playing, squirrels running around, and hear the birds chirping but also be within walking distance to get a cup of coffee and a taco, this is your jam. I feel blessed that it was one of the first parks that I stumbled upon here and so glad that I can keep coming back when my heart needs a little rest from...

He arrives a few minutes early. He carefully lays out his blanket on the perfectly manicured lawn. An excitement is in the air. He doesn’t want to spend his waiting time by looking down at his phone, so instead he just looks. Up. And out. And he is pleased. Friends. Family. Football. Interfaith dialogues. Golden doodles & grill outs. Spikeball & spiked seltzer. Make outs & breakups. He realizes for the first time that he’s not alone. He’s never been alone. Sevier Park was, and is,...
