Awesome 3/4 mile trail! Beautiful area! Note... the trail is to the right of the parking lot....not up the steps.

Great place to walk. Well kept up, outhouse is open and fully stocked.

Interesting to see which states were part of the confederacy in the history on the bronze plaque at the top of the hill is fascinating.

Great place for honor people who was protecting their land from yankees . Big flat park, perfect for walking and running

Its really pretty and theres a lot of history.

Free to visit and only a few miles from downtown Franklin.

There’s just something about this place besides the history that was very special. I enjoy Franklin and make sure I stop here whenever I am in town. Thank you to the ones that are keeping it clean, the grass cut and maintaining the park!

Lovely place for a 3/4-mile walk through the woods. Civil War interpretive signs help explain the significance of the site in the Battle of Franklin. The squirrels everywhere were about the only companions I had this September evening. Id love to come here again.

If you are interested in our countrys history and the Civil War, then check out the historical City of Franklin and Winstead Hill. We picked up a pamphlet at the visitors center that is a audio tour of the area, including Winstead Hill. We thoroughly enjoyed learning more about this period in our history.

Best place to walk and jogging. Give a try you surely enjoy.

Cute little dog friendly park with wide paved trail and naturalized areas. Really cool area where they are working on conservation efforts for Chestnut trees and a neat war memorial with phone audio tour capability.

Very nice historical place to visit

Important spot for the Battle of Franklin. Too bad the trees block the view that General Hood would have had.

Historical war memorial that most people dont even know is here. Easy parking and walking. Well marked and informative.

Very ni e and a good explanation of history

I love this park. There is a ton of history all around Franklin, but the way they have the monuments set up and the detail is incredible.I also enjoy the way the walking trail is here too. You get a slight grade increase on certain parts, some of it feels like your walking in the woods on a paved road, and other parts are wide open.Definitely worth a visit if your visiting!

Was great park with short walk with dog

Great park, so much history here. We always enjoy visiting Winstead Hill Park

Great place but the staff does not take care of the customer properly

Outstanding open public park, free to enter. Winstead Hill park is the location where the Confederate army command post was set up 2 miles south of the City of Franklin and for the Battle of Franklin. It has monuments for all the Confederate armies from all the southern states as well as cannons and the original command post of General Hood. You are able to look across the valley from the exact views General Hood had of the Battle of Franklin. There are historical information posters around, talking of who Winstead was and the Confederate army command post. There is also a 3/4 mile walking trail. Nothing to see on the trail, except for nature. Easy access and a must see.

Very tranquil and thought provoking if you are familiar with the battle nice trails for walking

Great walking trail, pet friendly, nice place to relax!

Knowing the history of you area is awesome. Tennessee has kept their history alive, by sharing wherever they can. Thats really cool.

Very accessible. Walking path is paved and we were able to take the stroller no problem. Periodic benches on path, and picnic table and latrine at parking area.

What a nice little half mile loop.

Small park has a very nice paved 0.7 mile walking trail or you can take the 0.5 mile short cut. There are monuments for many of the southern states in an area on the hill. There is a large map laying out the laying out the November 30, 1874 Battle of Franklin.

Great park with lots of history.

My daughter and I enjoyed a late afternoon walk here yesterday. It was quiet, an ideal place to enjoy nature while visiting with one another.

It was very good and has good trials for walking.

Winstead Hill is less a park then a memorial. Good parking lot opens up directly on a small Hill that beautifully overlooks Franklin Tennessee. At the paths peak is where civil war general Hood led his confederate forced into the Battle of Franklin. There is a fascinating Stone relief map built into the covered overlook. There is a walking trail, short if a mile. There is restroom facilities but theyre is not a playground for children. But there is plenty of photo spots as you climb the hill lined with informative memorial stones.

A historic treasure on the southern end of Franklins city limits. Sobering to read how many Americans died that fateful day. Be prepared to walk a little, stone steps as well. Ample parking.

Loved the history and loved the walk.

I was directed to stop and see this park and was pleasantly surprised. I really appreciated the fact that there is a phone number you can call and punch in the park number and there is a recording of what piece of history went down at that particular location. If you want something to fill a half hour or somewhere to walk and stretch out, this is a good place to do it.

I cant say much for the trails, as I come here for the history. Years ago, we used to camp in Civil War uniform here and then march to the Carter House to reenact the battle. This is a must-stop for anyone interested in the history in the area. The battle of Franklin kicked-off here, so one must imagine what it was like to walk from here towards the Federals, about 2.5mi away. The monuments here are certainly worth taking the time to read. This is a nicely done park that keeps a piece of history alive.

Well, Govan, if we are to die, let us die like men were the words of General Cleburne as he and his friend General Daniel Govan parted before Cleburne died charging the Union breastworks on November 30th, 1864. This place, formerly known as Breezy Hill to the people of Franklin, is where the Confederate army had an observation post during the battle of Franklin. I feel the power of this place; the pride in the courage and chivalry of the men who fell at Franklin, one of whom was my ancestor who is buried at Carnton, runs very deep. You can feel it here. The monuments that have been erected will likely stand for some time, and are properly represented in an honorable arrangement around the area. It gives me pride of place to be associated with these men who put courage and honor above everything else and charged to their deaths. However controversial or misguided their cause may seem today, their courage and sacrifice is echoed today in our military and the sacrifices they make daily in fighting for what we believe.

Great place to learn some nearly forgotten history.

Beautiful park. Great walking trails and a nice little historical memorial that was well kept. Keep this place in mind for a great overlook of all of Franklin. There are some great photo opportunities here

Not to be missed when visiting Franklin. Hidden in plain sight. Take the stairs up to the overlook to see the bronze relief map that outlines how the Battle of Franklin unfolded. Especially worth the climb in the winter, when the leaves have fallen and you can see the contours of the land, — on a clear day, all the way across town to Fort Grainger.Recent improvements include a paved loop, great for strollers and walkers and areas for a picnic.PRO TIP: the long sloping approach to the overlook makes a great sledding sit for the two or three days every winter theres enough snow to break out the snow saucer.

Neat park for a quiet walk. The paths are paved and its mostly flat.

Excellent place for a stroll. There is a lot of history here as well. Dog friendly.

Love the history and the scenery.

Cool civil war grounds tell everyone to stop and visor this place

Awesome place very informative

There is no guide here, but seeing all the memorials to the different states shows the deep feeling of the Confederacy for their fallen soldiers. It also shows you how incredibly wide the Confederate line and the fighting was in this battle.

This is a great park to escape the business of the goings on around you. Peaceful is a word that I use to describe the park. A great place to run or ride bikes with the kids.

A hidden gem of a walk!!

Well maintained little park. Paved trails for strollers. Very quiet with a beautiful view of Franklin

Nice place to learn about the Civil War or if you are looking for some nice scenery to take pictures and walk around with family and friends.

Very nice, small park. Great for a short walk and a bit of history.

Just started going to exercise by walking the track.

A wonderful park with beautiful shaded walking trail and lots of history

Nice and well kept park, but its more of a homage to the Confederate Soldiers who fought in the battle of Franklin. Not much information on the scheme of events before and after the battle, and no mention of the Union Soldiers who fought as well.

This is a great little park for some exercise and some history. It features a climb to an area used to assess the Franklin battlefield, so the view is excellent!

It looks like a really nice park, but Im going to go back during the day. I went there tonight because Google said there was activity here at all hours. My husband and I go on walks at places like centenial park in Nashville at night all the time so we didnt think anything of it. There were no other cars and it was not really well lit so we decided against walking very far. We stopped to read the signs at least while we were there plus there were some pokestops and then we saw someone in the woods staring at us! Yes this sounds like some made up spooky scary story you tell to your kids at a camp fire but I am serious yall! They started walking toward us but didnt say anything. It was really scary. So do not pay attention to the popular times thing on Google, only go here during the day for sure.

Put up my hammock and let the kids play in the creek. Relaxing and quiet little park.

Interesting history

Great history! Most people dont know what a big deal this was.

Beautiful park with well-maintained walking trails and rich Civil War history.

I great park for walking, jogging, relaxing, and most importantly, recognizing those that sacrificed their lives at the Battle of Franklin.

Cool to walk through history.

This is a good historical site, but also a good place to catch pokemon in Pokemon Go. 2 Pokéstops, a gym, and lots of clefairy

Nice and quiet

Nice variety for walking

Great Historic overlook of the Battle at Franklin
