Absolutely loved this park. The dog park area is huge and actually has seating. Lots of paved pathways so very family friendly. Large pond was nice to walk around. Bathrooms available throughout and lots of parking options. Nature center was cute for our little and was super impressed to see a little nature play area for kids!

Shelby park is a cool place to take your kids and have a little fun. Although the big park is still closed, they have just as much fun in the little park next to the center or shall I say tennis court.

Big and beautiful park. Parking was easy. Everything is green. People from our group could play various active games at same time just by splitting and waking to near locations.

Loved this park! Great for long or short walks. Nice black topped trails, with grass side trails. It was too muddy to try the side trails on our walk, after much rain. Easy to find and close to downtown.

Pretty nice park with a nice big pond and beautiful nature, and the park itself is much bigger than I thought it was. Plenty of walking trails both paved and not. Some good picnic areas too, some with tables

Great park for picnic and dog walking. Unfortunately one of the gazebos was damaged and blocked of. But there was still a picnic table near it under the trees. Nashville strong still recovering from the tornados.

Been coming to the park since I was a little kid. It really is a great urban park, kind of Nashvilles version of Central Park in New York City. It has everything to offer...tennis, basketball, baseball fields, walking trails, fishing (really nice in the winter months when the lake is stocked with trout), multiple playgrounds, picnic areas, golf, and large open spaces for frisbee, soccer, or football. I wouldnt advise walking around by yourself at night, but in general it is pretty safe. Great park in the heart of the city.

This is a very unique park, it goes around a small lake and stream and contains a couple interesting sculptures. There are also little duck houses fenced-in for the ducks to hide away in which I thought was adorable! Besides the main path around the lake there are also little mini trails in the woods, they arent too long but provide a nice walk.

This park is the love of my life. Beautiful green space, dog park, baseball fields, bike paths and ponds. There’s a lot of terrain but if you want a flat, easy bike ride take the music city bike trail. Park seems to be clean, safe etc I have never had any problems. There is a beginners running group in the summer that meets on Mondays and Wednesdays and Saturdays- East Nasty Running Club. Maybe my favorite part is the Lawrence Argent melty, chromey birdie-what a delight.

Very pretty big and spacious Park. Well kept and managed one thing I can say though is my family rented out a spot to host a birthday party till 11 p.m. and the lights did not come on the whole time we were there had to cut the party short due to not being well lit it was pitch-black. And they have the nerve to charge you $30 for a seating area

The park was awesome. It had nature trails, a track, and a nature center. Its great for adults or children. I highly suggest Shelby Park for a getaway. Its absolutely beautiful. They have done a lot of work and remodeling to the park and it has attracted a whole new crowd. There is plenty to do here. A walk along the river is beautiful. Dont miss out on the new Shelby Park

An excellent place to go on a walk and to see the community. The pond in Shelby Park is a place people congregate to fish and chat. There are great walking paths although some turn into roads that are shared by cars. Beautiful wildlife including herons, ducks, fish, and of course everyone’s dogs.

Probably the closest park to Downtown Nashville if you want to get away and have a beautiful area with rolling lawns, shaded trees, and a pond in the center. Its circular, so it attracts many people who like to walk, bicycle, or jog. A nice little Oasis practically right in the city

This is a beautiful park!! I was here in the fall with the leaves changing and it was soooo pretty. There are many walking trails and there was a small lake with people fishing but I dont know if they were catching anything. It has a nice nature center that does classes for kids and adults. The staff are super friendly too!! This is a great family friendly place to spend an afternoon.

Dog park is located behind the community center with the closest intersection being Lillian St and 20th Street. Nice big area for the dogs to run in and everyone seems very friendly. There is a covered area with a couple of benches to escape the sun, but most are in the open. Very few trees to escape the summer heat. The dog drinking fountain is push activated and drains immediately, so you need someone standing nearby to activate it if your dog gets thirsty!
