What People Are Saying About Riverfront Park

In Short – Bridging the gap between Cumberland River and downtown Nashville, Riverfront Park houses historic Fort Nashborough and holds a number of outdoor concerts and festivals. In the summer, thousands of people turn out each Thursday night for Dancin' in the District. Nearby, Red Grooms' Tennessee Fox Trot Carousel pays tribute to legendary Tennessee natives, while offering youngsters the chance to ride gleefully in circles. Next to the carousel, RiverSkate, an open-air ice rink, runs each winter.

Downtown's greenspace
by PatrickRains
Riverfront is a great gathering point for concerts, fireworks, but is underutilized beyond that. You rarely see downtowners using the facility for any other activites. Seems a redesign of the park could encourage some other functions for the downtown area. Overall, however, the park is a real asset to the city. Nashville is much better off with it than without.
- Pros: Dancin, location
- Cons: daily activity
