Best park in Nashville
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

08/10/2006 Posted by sageish

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).

Editor's Review

Eye-catching and functional, Pedro Silva's sea serpent is art to be climbed on as well as observed.  See the full editorial review.

Insider Tips

The Extras

In the tiles on the dragon, look for artists' renditions of local civic leader Fannie Mae Dees, for whom the park is named, Dolly Parton and others.
