I always really enjoy this place, whether Im walking for myself, or visiting the playground with my toddler. Its always so clean and pretty. Theres a big fountain to cool off in and on the other side ther is a nice shaded spot with a rose garden. My favorite place to get active in cookeville, 100% :)

This is a great place to walk while my daughter roller blades. The fountain is a big hit for the kids too. I feel safe here; there are rarely suspicious looking/acting folks.

Beautiful fun family friendly park! Very clean! A great nice sized splash pad for hot summer days and a very nice large safe playground for the children and a great paved sidewalk for walking and riding bikes. Can’t wait to return with my family. We returned this evening and watched the splash pad light up with beautiful lights! My kid loved it!

Dogwood park is highly decorated for Christmas. I enjoy seeing the huge Christmas tree, decorated poles, and beautiful Christmas wreaths. The sleigh maybe part of our Christmas photos. Great backdrop.

We like this place because its clean, its free, the kids can ride their scooters, bikes, and hover boards. Its a good place to meet friends, and cool off with all this hot weather.

Great park in the middle of Cookeville. A good place to walk, or sit under a tree and enjoy a book. Theres a fountain area for kids when its hot and a playground area with plenty of things for them to do. A nice sized amphitheatre for concerts and Shakespeare in the Park in the Fall. It surrounds the Putnam County Library and the Cookeville Museum. Theres restroom facilities when the park is open and during events they serve food and drinks. In the spring and summer you will find a rose garden in full bloom with various varieties to enjoy. Even though the city is in motion around it, the park is a peaceful respite when you need a break from the rat race.

A beautiful well maintained park with lots to do for everyone from the younger children on up to the elders. Walking paths are in great condition, the park is very clean and theres enough trash bins scattered throughout that you dont need to carry your trash or doggie poo bags for too long. I enjoy coming here a lot, however it does get a little crowded and rowdy in the summer months when the water gets turned on.

Every town should model their city park after this one! So clean and beautiful. A safe and clean enclosed playground for kids. A division for smaller kids and then older kids up to age 12. Then the fountain thats actually designed for kids to run through and beat the heat! Genius! A beautiful shaded seating area as well as plenty shade trees to picnic beneath. Fantastic job, Cookeville!

Amazing place for families of all kinds to come and spend some time outdoors. A big state of the art playground, a fountain with multiple water features for kids to play in, paths for walking, biking, skating, fields for picnics and relaxing, amphitheater for proformaces, movies, music, concession stand and clean public bathrooms. Theres even a path through landscaped trees and bushes that was the original park where Ive seen elaborate proposals take place. Its located right in downtown Cookeville so its easy to access and directly behind the library. They have many activities throughout the year including right now with Park after Dark where they play family movies for free every Friday in June and sell concessions. So its one of the best parks in Cookeville but unlike the other great one, Cane Creek, this one is right downtown and walking distance to everything Cookeville has to offer including the history museum, historic train depot and museum and historic Cream City ice cream shop. Its even just a block away from the Rails and Trials bike and walking path that runs beside the train tracks from Cookeville to Algood.

Ive rated this place before, but I still recommend it 100%. Its easy to access, safe, the playground is fenced for those with more adventurous children, the bathrooms are clean, there is ample walking space, and they often do shows, plays, and such in the amphitheater. Its adjacent to the public library even. Its centralized enough be a great spot for lunch for locals.

Very well appointed playground, spray park, and amphitheatre. Concession stand (open during music events) and clean restrooms on premises. Great place to stop to let the kids run and soak on a nice day. My 8 yr old said it was the coolest park I ever went to. Lots of grass to enjoy. Super sunny and hot on our visit, though. Wish the pergolas had shade vines (oak hydrangeas?) Or really just more shade features in general. The dozen or so young trees are a good long term investment in that regard!

Very nice park with splash pad/fountain great for a hot summer day. Playground that is new with updated equipment for the babies to play on. Wonderful walking trail with beautiful rose garden. Summer movies after dark, concerts in the park, and Christmas lights that are beautiful during the holiday season. One of the best parks around.

Dogwood Park is a gem in the heart of downtown. It brings so much joy to people of all ages. Whether you are playing in the fountain on a hot day, enjoying the blooming flowering trees on a spring morning, or enjoying the Christmas decorations in the winter, you wont be disappointed. Please remember to take what you bring and clean up after yourself to ensure this park remains beautiful for many years to come.

Took our 9 month old here for their first park visit. Mainly to get him acclimated to it now. Visited at 5pm on a Friday. Surprised to find out how quiet it was for being in the middle of town. It wasnt very busy and it was calm enough at the playground that our 9mo enjoyed watching the others kids play.

Wonderful place to take your children. It is super kid friendly. They have a padded play ground for the kids. Slides swings a marry go round. All padded so the kids dont get hurt when they fall. They even have a nice little park area with a couple small walking trails. A stage area. And best of all they have a place where the kids can get away when its hot outside. There are a bunch of holes in the concrete that shoots water out with a fountain in the middle. Your kids will love you for taking them!!!

My dog Julian LOVES this park. Love the fountains, especially on hot days. Dogs need to be on a leash here. There is a closed in playground to keep children safe. A big host to a lot of community events, so check out their website for all their upcoming events. There are benches, but no picnic tables.
