Spring is here! How well do you know Nashville’s parks?

Listen
Share:

Metro Nashville oversees 178 parks and over 100 miles of greenway.

But that only scratches the surface. From recreational arts to dance classes, nature lectures, and team sports, everyone can find their “something” at a Nashville park. In this episode, we speak with representatives from the Nashville Parks Department about how to make the most of the spring weather.

And you have a chance to speak with them! Our phone lines are open: Call us at 615-760-2000 with your question, or perhaps even some sage advice for Nashville newcomers.

This episode was produced by Josh Deepan. 

Guests:

  • Jackie Jones, Metro Parks Community Affairs Superintendent
  • Rana Mitchell, Metro Parks Public Information Officer
  • Joshua Wagner, Metro Parks Visual Arts Supervisor
  • Stevon Neloms, Metro Parks Recreation Division, Community Centers, Cultural Arts
  • John Holmes, Metro Parks Special Services, Golf
  • Heather Gallagher, Metro Parks Naturalist
