The Master Plan

The Metropolitan Parks and Greenways Master Plan was adopted in 2002, after a complete evaluation of the system, and a year of citizen input in all areas of Nashville. The plan recommended more than $260 million of improvements to the park system, including a number of new initiatives and eliminating deferred maintenance to existing parks and facilities. To date, we have built new community centers at Hadley, East, Coleman, Parkwood, and McFerrin parks, our Skate Park and renovated facilities at Wave Country, the Cumberland Pedestrian Bridge, and now have more than 36 miles of greenways open.

In the spring of 2008, Metro Parks solicited public input for an update of the plan. The update was accepted by the Park Board in July 2008.

Copies of the Parks and Greenways Master Plan are now available at the main office and all branches of the Nashville Public Library.

The copies, located in the Reference Division of all branches, allow those people who do not have access to a computer to review the details of the plan.
