Tucked away in the Belle Meade neighborhood of the city, about 9 miles (14.48 kilometers) from Downtown, the Percy Warner Park offers an expansive area of green respite for the residents of the city. Together with the Edwin Warner Park, these two are known as the Warner Parks and cover an area of 2,664 acres (1,078 hectares). One of the most visited parks in the state, the Percy Warner Park has picnic areas, walking trails, an equestrian center, horse trails, golf courses, and more. Plus, the park has earned a place on the National Register of Historic Places because of the rich heritage it preserves.
Doubling up as a recreational park, the Two Rivers Park is spread over 374 acres (151.3 hectares). Home to a skate park, wave pools, water slides, a golf course and even a skate park, Two Rivers ensures you a rollicking time within its borders. The park is also the location of a historic mansion, now a popular venue for weddings and events. There are also numerous picnic shelters dotting the park, a disc golf course and a gorgeous pedestrian bridge spanning across the Cumberland River. Explore the huge park by cycling or simply taking leisurely strolls.
