Love the mosaic details at this park, its really pretty art and the kids love to play here! My 3 & 5 year old like the big playground and huge area for kicking the ball around or picnicing. A great park!
What a beautiful park! Our kids love coming here. And so do I.
Fannie Mae Dees Park is a wonderful urban park for children. There is plenty to do no matter the age of your child, easy access to a variety of sizes picnic tables for packed lunches, and a wonderful dragon mosaic art piece thats impossible to miss! There are swings for big kids as well as bucket seats for infants.
Great place to hang out. Usually not too busy except really nice days. Lots of open area for small groups to play games.
Dragon Park is really cool, but as other parents have mentioned. There are several blind spots and so you really need to stay with your kids while there. The playground is big and offers quite a few things for kids to do.
Nice park, very busy though because its so centrally located.
The only thing to make this better would be to have the restroom unlocked
Great park for our children. Lots of equipment for them to play on.
Lovely park! Dragon sculpture is super cool. Great place for a picnic and wasnt crowded at all.
Great little park. Stuff for little kids. And its relaxing for adults. Plus the mosaic dragon statue is great.
Big open spaces, decent toy structure. But the dragon is why you go.
It was ok, plenty of playground fun for the children. Could have a little more covering in the seating areas for older people to get out of direct sun.
Awesome dragon that was so artistically made. Pavilions and playground for the kids
Next time we hope to see some fire breathing activity ... but my kids and their friends loved it.
Great park, would love to tell about bathrooms, but they were locked.
Amazing park but why are the bathrooms always locked? Small kids have small bladders
Best park in Nashville, hands down.Its the first park I took my son to. Ive been frequenting this park since I was a kid and have loved seeing them transform while also preserving the beauty this little park offers. Take the kids and have a great time!
What a beautiful experience ..love the creativity in the sculpture.
My safe place for my granddaughter to play.
A GREAT PARK for all! Have a picnic, play on the jungle gym, or play at the fort. Don’t forget the historic dragon. It’s a phenomenal piece of history. Ask someone local about it.
Dragon has been restored and is beautiful. Lots of benches and tables near the playground. Kidsfavorite part was the rocks, tunnel and hill structure. Also has a couple picnic shelters.
Beautiful park! Nice place for the whole family to enjoy. Lots of places to sit and eat or hang out.. Huge playground for kids. Only downfall was, we went for the art, and it was covered and locked up.. and graffiti all over it! Horrible that ppl trash everything. We will be going back thru summer. Check it out!
My niece loves the park. She enjoys the slides and climbing. Her favorite is the swings she is full of laughter whenever she is on one. Its a very nice park. We saw a couple in their wedding outfits talking pictures at this park next to the beautiful mosaic art.
A dangerous magical place. Dragons and stone mound deathtraps. Not some fakey rubber mass-produced Park for sissie parents who cant handle a scrape or two on the shins. I grew up here and just came back as an old man with my new wife and it still is awesome. Be careful. If your kid gets hurt it is your fault and yours alone.
Great playground, canopies, and tennis courts!
Great spot for kids of all ages. Newly renovated Dragon sculpture is beautifully done and a favorite for the kids to climb on and around.
Fun city park with lots of green space. Also k own as Dragon Park because of the huge mosaic dragon in one section of the Park, Dees Park has plenty of green space for stretching out in the sun, a play scape for kids 12 and under, and a picnic pavilion for events. there are also basketball and tennis courts and climbing structures, including a tunnel that even us grown ups can enjoy. The dragon is under construction at the time of this review, but you can peek through the fence to see it.
Very nice park. Little but lots to do. Perfect for pictures and hanging out on an evening with friends. Unique one of a kind dragon statue mosaic and within walking distance to shops and food. This is something I would not miss if I was looking for unique things to find in Nashville
Nice park, it has a tennis court and basketball court.
Great park!! Rocky Hill for climbing, wheelchair accessible playground with lots of fun things for little kids and elementary kids alike. Also ample green space for playing frisbee or kicking a soccer ball. Adjoining tennis court looks like fun!
Small park with playground and tennis courts. Dog friendly.
Kids had a blast. We r from Ms. And here for cheer competition. So had kids with us n they had fun at park
Great public park with several play areas, even all-inclusive for kiddos with varied abilities, wheelchairs, etc. Well-maintained and clean, good shade coverage on hot days; they even have a water mister in the summer. There are a few scattered picnic areas and lots of open green space. The park even includes a soccer area and tennis courts. Bathrooms are relatively clean and offer a changing table. The only real downside is parking, but if you keep circling the park, typically a street spot opens up. My three year old loves the rock fort with the super secret tunnel.
My 5year old grandson had a blast on Christmas day! We spent 4 hours at the park. And to my surprise CLEAN BATHROOMS! Plenty to do and he was glad to repeat each location to play!
Loved the variety, wish there was more for little babies.
Great place for kids! Multiple awesome kids playgrounds and the walkway around the dragon is rubber.. Not concrete.
This was a great park! Very neat, free thing to do. Super cool dragon!
Nice little park in the heart of the city. I think the most attractive part of this park is the big structure that they have. It is picture worthy. They have tennis courts too. I come here sometimes for a stroll. They have picnic shelters too that can be used for birthday parties.
I have very fond memories of this park from my childhood and was looking forward to sharing the Dragon Park with my kids.When we went, the dragons were under restoration and blocked off by 6 ft chain link fence.While I am certainly glad the restoration is being done, it takes away some of the magic of this place to not even be able to see the dragons.The equipment is nice and well maintained, but without the dragons, it is just another playground
The dragon is a work of art!
I love dragon park!
Great park for littler kids. Theres a cool elevated playset that has shade and a dragon that mists the kids when they get too hot. Swings are in the sun and can get pretty toasty. There is seemingly no bathroom in the entire park, which has ended several of our visits there.
Who doesnt love dragon park?!
Super fun park, well maintained with lots to do
Great park. Fun community history, lots of space to run and play, tons of playground equipment for all ages.
Tennis courts were resurfaced a few years ago and remain in pretty great shape considering they are free and outdoor .
Great park, Amazing Dragon Mosaic statue.
Wonderful park, the kids loved it! Especially loved the mist fountain. Only downfall was that the actual drinking water fountains were not working. And one slide had a sharp hole in it.
Adorable little city park tucked in the middle of Nashville. Great for a fun afternoon of exploring & picnic. Just come prepared with change for the metered parking around the park. We just stumbled upon it exploring the city while visiting from MO.
Great park!
Great place to take kids! This is a super fun Park with a lot of playground equipment and really neat Dino to climb on. There is a shaded pavilion for picnics and wide spaces so kids can run, jump and play.
Good walking area
So glad I came across this nice park. Great place for children, walking or chilling.
This is a very unique and special park. Lots of fun things for the kids to see and do. My only complaint is they have a pretty mad bathroom situation. We dont go often but the few times we have the bathrooms have been closed which causes issues with little ones
Grew up at this park. So happy to see the dragon still in tact!
Family Friendly!
There was plenty of area for my two year old to run around and the play areas were age appropriate.
Great park for all ages of children. Large variety of playground equipment. Lots of shade as well.
One of the coolest parks Ive been to! Its very unique and fun. I love the mosaic dragon and other artwork all over the park. Great park for anyone regardless of age!
Very nice park, the kids loved it and the Dragon was awesome! Nice shade, but very little parking that I could find.
The upkeep of the park is top notch and would highly recommend for anyone and their kids. Great find for Nashville to break from the frustration and monotony of life
Lovely well maintained park. Great stop on our road trip back to Memphis.
Its definitely unique. Its a great blend for kids.
It was a beautiful park with a lot to occupy our selves with, but the dragon was not finished so our hopes were let down. The stone structure was fun and watch out because the rocks can be slippery on a sunny or wet day. The separate kids section is perfect for the little ones.If I could I would go there again.
Great park with a cool mosaic dragon for climbing and nice size playground area. My kids really enjoyed this park! Only issue is the limited street parking.
Also called the dragon park: this is a great park for picnics and birthday parties for young kids. Also very accessable for wheelchairs or kids with special needs.
Beautiful park - lots for kids to do
Love this park! So many things to explore. Kids from 1-10 had a blast.
What a happy place! I love the dragon and I’m pleased with the restoration.
A Nashville Staple . Only Locals would know though and we are few and far between.
Good place for kids to play, easy walk to Hillsboro Village.
One of the best kept secrets of nashville. This park is amazing. So much to do and so unique. Known to nashvillians as dragon park because of the huge mosaic dragon sculpture that kids can climb on. Always lots of fun here.
I took my niece and nephews. They loved that there were so many areas to play. We happened to be there when a music concert was happening.
Beautiful artwork with something for everyone to play on.
Really nice park to take kids for fun
Our kids favorite park. The dragon/hill side mixed with the playground is a nice combination that keeps them entertained for a long time!
Beautiful park with lots for kids of all ages to do. The mosaics on the new dragon are beautiful.
Really good experience here. Nice environment and the people that work here are very friendly and will take good care of you . I highly recommend spending your hard earned time here and enjoying the scenery here.. you wont regret it.
Now that its open again, I was underwhelmed. Used to take my kids there often. Maybe the grandkids will change their minds
This is a great park with several different play areas. My daughter loved the oversized see-saw and all of the swings. It has 2 handicap swings as well as 2 baby swings and 2 standard swings. It is adjacent to two schools, each with their own playgrounds... so the time you could spend playing here on the weekend is endless! We visited Nashville for 3 days and made 2 visits to this park. Also, there are 2 public restrooms here for when nature calls.
Fantastic mosaic tile Dragon! Lots of room to play!
Great park for all ages! Climb on the mosaic dragon and see the characters all over it. Swings and playground. Public restrooms also!
Fun things to do, free parking & good sight lines to monitor your children.
Great place for kids. beware of the parking signs though. I got a parking ticket for parking at the park
My three-year-old and five-year-old both have a lot of fun here. There are several play structures plus the dragon and a stone wall with a tunnel. Only parking we could find was street parking with a meter, so bring some coins.
It is a great little park with lots of different equipment for kids to play on, gorgeous mosaic statue of a sea dragon, nice grass and trees and toilets - always a big plus with kids! The only thing which could use an update was the swings - hence the 4 stars.
Nice open area in the middle of town. Enough to keep the kids busy and was not over crowded when we were there. Bathrooms could use some work though.
Nice park, would like it to be more but this is a small park.
Best park with small kids! The playground area is delightful, there is a a nice shelterhouse with picnic tables. Enjoy the large mosaic Dragon statue, which is a mascot for the neighborhood. Close to restaurants on Belcourt and 21st Avenues.
It is a nice park, it has everything, playground waterfountains ... It is ok, not big, but a good option if you do dont want to walk over Centennial.
Great family Park, lot of things to do- Tennis, Basketball, Football and theres fun for the kids as well. From sight seeing to swings and etc.
