Stones River Dog Park — Attraction in Nashville-Davidson

Cool dog park along the Stones River, under the I-40, by the Percy Priest dam. It’s fairly large, with a grass/gravel mixture, but beware - there’s no separation/accommodation for large or small dogs - they are all enclosed together. My small dogs are slightly apprehensive about bigger dogs, so this dynamic was often tiresome because it required constant vigilance from us, to prevent fights. The other dog owners were VERY friendly though, and there were hundreds of people, coming and going, in the area, due to the fishing and walk/bike path associated with the park. We plan on returning- it’s beautiful and was fun for us. Other online reviews talk about no shade, which is true, but we visited in the Fall, so it was cool enough. Also, restrooms were closed, so can’t comment- Porto-potties were available. I will say that it was 50/50 about owners picking up their pets’ excrement, so watch...

We've been on a road trip for about 2 days now and have stopped at 3 parks so far. This is far and away the best yet! Huge area for our three to run, even enough to wear out our greyhound minpin mix! Mostly grass, lotsa benches, water for the little ones, a covered area for the humans, bathrooms in the summer months for humans. The only downside is the bathrooms are closed in the winter and the portapotties outside that were provided were out of Toilet Paper.... all in all it was a great stop, great time and a wonderful place for the little ones to stretch and have a bit of fun. If were ever in the area again...

Decent sized park in a great location by a walking trail, but almost no shade to speak of (no trees or bushes or anything that would require maintenance) and plenty of opportunities to step in poop, as it seems many of the owners that go here neglect to clean up after their dog despite doggy bags being provided by the park.

The dam tries to distract from the giant truss holding up the electrical wires but the truss takes up a significant amount of space in the park and it just looks ugly.

There's plenty of parking and water for the dogs is provided, along with a couple of kiddie pools for the dogs...
