Absolutely loved this park. The dog park area is huge and actually has seating. Lots of paved pathways so very family friendly. Large pond was nice to walk around. Bathrooms available throughout and lots of parking options. Nature center was cute for our little and was super impressed to see a little nature play area for kids!
Clean organization,an they have portion potty, in the park, I been going to this park for years, so it so nice to know it still looking good, an well kept, Thank you! Again For all your hard work. Shelby Park, Nashville,Tn
Shelby park is a cool place to take your kids and have a little fun. Although the big park is still closed, they have just as much fun in the little park next to the center or shall I say tennis court.
Nice running, open park and lots of milage for bikes and runners.
This is an awesome and expensive parking a very diverse topographical makeup. Definitely great for bicycle rides, jogging and other outdoor activities. Truly a gem!
Pretty nice park with a nice big pond and beautiful nature, and the park itself is much bigger than I thought it was. Plenty of walking trails both paved and not. Some good picnic areas too, some with tables
The park is beautiful with its trails, ducks, geese and some exotic birds.I loved the fact that it wasnt crowded and we were able to enjoy our lunch at one of the pic nic tables.
Lots of attraction I go every week
Beautiful walk and great kids area
Great park for picnic and dog walking. Unfortunately one of the gazebos was damaged and blocked of. But there was still a picnic table near it under the trees. Nashville strong still recovering from the tornados.
I love this place you play tennis here we listen to ducks and is awesome
Been coming to the park since I was a little kid. It really is a great urban park, kind of Nashvilles version of Central Park in New York City. It has everything to offer...tennis, basketball, baseball fields, walking trails, fishing (really nice in the winter months when the lake is stocked with trout), multiple playgrounds, picnic areas, golf, and large open spaces for frisbee, soccer, or football. I wouldnt advise walking around by yourself at night, but in general it is pretty safe. Great park in the heart of the city.
Great views and awesome dog park
This is a very unique park, it goes around a small lake and stream and contains a couple interesting sculptures. There are also little duck houses fenced-in for the ducks to hide away in which I thought was adorable! Besides the main path around the lake there are also little mini trails in the woods, they arent too long but provide a nice walk.
This park is the love of my life. Beautiful green space, dog park, baseball fields, bike paths and ponds. There’s a lot of terrain but if you want a flat, easy bike ride take the music city bike trail. Park seems to be clean, safe etc I have never had any problems. There is a beginners running group in the summer that meets on Mondays and Wednesdays and Saturdays- East Nasty Running Club. Maybe my favorite part is the Lawrence Argent melty, chromey birdie-what a delight.
Kind of a scary once it starts getting dark... Watch about three drug deals go down by the railroad tracks and had two guys on bikes kept circle my husband and I.. will not go back to this park... Bonus it was very beautiful maybe just got there at the wrong time...
Shelby Park has become the NEW HAVEN FOR HOMELESS PEOPLE...
Very pretty big and spacious Park. Well kept and managed one thing I can say though is my family rented out a spot to host a birthday party till 11 p.m. and the lights did not come on the whole time we were there had to cut the party short due to not being well lit it was pitch-black. And they have the nerve to charge you $30 for a seating area
Lots of deer and interesting birds
A very friendly staff lot of help
Awesome park and perfect place for a long walk! Go here often and always a great experience!
I love Shelby Park! There’s something for everyone: trails, water, playground, dog park, golf course, + lots & lots of greenery/space! It’s a hidden oasis in Nashville! Must visit.
The dog park is great! Most enjoyable one my Bubba & I have found! We love it!
Childhood park. & now i take my kids.Peaceful.
My wife and I love it here. Jazz on the grass was real nice and the crowd was super chill. I like that they try and keep it clean. We have also brought my nephew and it was great for him.
Love the bike trails in Shelby bottoms. Nice that it borders the river too.
Great dog park! Plenty of space for them to get rowdy!
Very beautiful and well kept. Went there for an event and was a perfect place to have held it. Love the art work too well done
One of the few last gems of Nashville. Beautifully taken care of natural space. Lovely families and people come from all over to be healthy and active. Cute spot. We bring the dogs here all the time and my girlfriend has been coming here since highschool, she absolutely loves it.
Beautiful park to run
Great park
Great park, well kept and a nice dog park to boot!
We love this park! heaven on earth ;)
Clean park with nice paved paths. Also had a big, will maintained dog park that had really nice, responsible dog owners when I went.
Love it ️
The park was awesome. It had nature trails, a track, and a nature center. Its great for adults or children. I highly suggest Shelby Park for a getaway. Its absolutely beautiful. They have done a lot of work and remodeling to the park and it has attracted a whole new crowd. There is plenty to do here. A walk along the river is beautiful. Dont miss out on the new Shelby Park
An excellent place to go on a walk and to see the community. The pond in Shelby Park is a place people congregate to fish and chat. There are great walking paths although some turn into roads that are shared by cars. Beautiful wildlife including herons, ducks, fish, and of course everyone’s dogs.
Beautiful and peaceful
Great park and nature center. Amazing photo opportunities!! #blueheron #shelbypark
One of the most beautiful parks in Nashville
Water for dogs accessible, plenty of shade, good amount of area. Really enjoyed it
Love this park!
Nice park, but you cant see the river from the path. Very busy at times. Parts of the trail closed for improvement.
Good place to ease you rmind
Beautiful,GREAT park 4
I love this place to take my dog. The people are extremely nice.
Love it
Awesome park not far from downtown. Great running trails and egrets to please.
This is my favorite park in Nashville. I love all the different options. Theres bike rentals right next to the nature center and biking through the park is serene.
Beautiful city park, lake, trails, ball fields, wildlife galore . A must visit when in Music City
Tennis courts do not get maintained apparently. Lights stopped working
Probably the closest park to Downtown Nashville if you want to get away and have a beautiful area with rolling lawns, shaded trees, and a pond in the center. Its circular, so it attracts many people who like to walk, bicycle, or jog. A nice little Oasis practically right in the city
This is a beautiful park!! I was here in the fall with the leaves changing and it was soooo pretty. There are many walking trails and there was a small lake with people fishing but I dont know if they were catching anything. It has a nice nature center that does classes for kids and adults. The staff are super friendly too!! This is a great family friendly place to spend an afternoon.
It is a pretty good dog park my dog enjoys going there and playing.
Great place for the doggos. Always a good crowd
Beautiful and clean my son work here and we as a family love this park
My dogs favorite park!
Good place to escape the rigors of everyday life.
Beautiful park! Kids loved it!
Great place to bike and walk
I have loved Shelby Park for 42 years my favorite Park
I love Shelby park! It has a lot of community activities and walking/riding/running trails. They also have a dog park a that is a pretty good size. Also, you can rent a bike and ride over to Two Rivers Park for the day. Perfect place to have fun and relax!
They have upgraded this park and it is beautiful I live so close it’s also a great short cut to the interstate
This park is awesome- there is so much to see! Very pet-friendly which is a plus!
The dog park was fantastic. Lots of running room. Loved the take-a-bag-leave-a-bag stations. Great concept. Will definitely come here with our dog more.
Peaceful and plenty of ducks to feed
Beautiful park with a lake.
Best park in Nashville. Plenty of space for kids to run and have fun. Great picnic areas
Shelby park is my peaceful place
Great for the family...
Not enough waste receptacles in the park
Great place to go in East Nashville.
Great park one of the best in town hands down!!!
Golf, running trails, scenic lake, picnic area, and other offerings make this a nice spot during the day just minutes from downtown Nashville.
Great place to enjoy your surroundings
Forget Centennial unless you want to see the Parthenon. This is Nashvilles premier park for play.
We love this park
Clean, potty very clean, grass mowed recently, however no power at the windmill shelter
Wonderful park ! I loved it !
Dog park is located behind the community center with the closest intersection being Lillian St and 20th Street. Nice big area for the dogs to run in and everyone seems very friendly. There is a covered area with a couple of benches to escape the sun, but most are in the open. Very few trees to escape the summer heat. The dog drinking fountain is push activated and drains immediately, so you need someone standing nearby to activate it if your dog gets thirsty!
Thorntons Lebanon Pike(and the other frequented, Thorntons) . A previous viewer asked bout flex-fuel . Yes, it is at Thorntons ! To you & yours, a safe, marvelous, traveln season !
Great place to go with your dog. Beautiful park.
This is good dog park. Water is available as are bags. Decent size. Not quite as nice as Two Rivers Dog Park but still very nice.
Love the dog park.
Huge park. Needs more
Well maintained and quiet
A lot of space, not a lot of doggie bags
