I live 20 minutes from this park and will often go to Dragon Park rather than any other in my area (and there are many). The park is surprisingly clean for the location - I never see any trash on the ground. It's a great place to bring your kid(s). Pets are welcome. Lots of trees and shade, picnic area for large groups, amazing play ground. I guess you're technically not supposed to climb the dragon, but many adults do (I'm guilty), as it's a good challenge. And just to correct the previous reviewer - there is a public restroom at the park - though it is small. It's located near the playground equipment.
Pros: Great park - lots of rom for sports, play, relaxing
Cons: There's a busy road near by and a rather noisy walking signal for pedestrians (get's annoying after a while).

this is a great place for people of all ages, from couples (keep it pg, please!), to families with young children, to college students looking for a nice place to study or play. you can rent the pavilions for your next cookout (it's the home of the annual Blair School of Music Picnic!). a great place to discover your inner child on a sunny afternoon. oh, and hillsboro village with it's great shopping and restaurants is only a couple blocks away!
Pros: clean, attractive, close to hillsboro, the dragon!
Cons: next to a big street, no bathrooms

Your poll for Best Park leaves out any mention of Lily's Garden which is admittedly a subset of Fannie Mae Dees Park. Lily's Garden is frankly ALL that makes FMD special and separates it from the others. The beautiful design, lanscaping, and emphasis on integrated play for children and adults of all abilities has no equal in Nashville or Tennessee for that matter. In fact, a search for Lily's Garden on Citysearch pulls up a list of florists! Next year, try nominating "Lily's Garden/Fannie Mae Dees" and try to discover this spot for Citysearch.
Pros: accessible, beautiful, just plain fun
Cons: not in Citysearch
