Shelby Park

One of the most frequent reasons to visit a Metro Nashville park is to walk and play with one's dog. While all Metro Parks welcome leashed dogs, the Dog Parks are a terrific area for dogs to exercise, interact, and play.

The Stones River Greenway is a fantastic dog-friendly trail that should be on everyone's radar if they live in Nashville or are visiting. The route is not only well-maintained and picturesque, but it also connects two of Nashville's top dog parks, with plenty of accessible parking options and amenities.

The Gulch Dog Park, the neighborhood's first public dog park, debuted in late 2019. This part of the Gulch will be transformed into a play zone for the neighborhood's furry companions and a location for community interaction, replete with food truck parking and scheduled activities, and will be located near The Turnip Truck grocery store.

You and your canine companion require a local hangout that isn't only dog-friendly. You'll need a dog-friendly location.
