Review & FAQ:

Centennial Park Trail spans through Nashville's Centennial Park, which spans 132 acres throughout the city's west side and was originally developed for the 1897 Tennessee Centennial Exposition. Visitors can explore the park via a one-mile jogging loop that traverses past many of its most iconic sites, including its full-scale replica of the ancient Greek Parthenon. Old-growth trees cover the beautiful park, which is also home to the scenic Lake Watauga. Cultural events are held at the park throughout the year, including the city's free Shakespeare in the Park series and annual Earth Day Festival. The park is conveniently located near Vanderbilt University's shopping and dining districts and offers free parking at more than a dozen lots throughout the park's campus. Free street parking is also available along nearby 25th Avenue North.
