Members Event
Beaman Park Nature Center
Thursday, July 16, 5:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.
Join us for the second of three Members Events this year. Enjoy an evening discovering this beautiful nature center
and learn about the sustainable geothermal
features of this fitted building and what the other
nature centers offer from the architects themselves.
Music and a casual supper along with a hike from the
parks naturalist, this treasure is just 20 minutes from
downtown. The beautiful deck in the trees will be
a quiet respite from the bustle of the city.

What are Greenways?
Greenways are linear corridors of land that are
permanently maintained in a relatively undeveloped,
natural condition as open space. These linear parks and
trails connect neighborhoods to schools, shopping areas,
downtown, offices, recreation areas, open spaces and
other points of activity. Most greenways include
publicly accessible trails that can accommodate walking,
running, bicycling, skating, and enjoyment of the
out-of-doors. Often located along natural landscape
features like streams, rivers and ridges, or along built
features, such as railroad corridors and scenic
highways, greenways provide valuable green space for
conservation, recreation and alternative transportation.
Greenways provide all citizens with barrier-free access
to natural resources and recreational opportunities.
The Greenways Commission of Metro Parks with the support
of Greenways for Nashville is working to expand its
system of multi-use paved trails and primitive hiking
trails along the Cumberland, Stones and Harpeth rivers,
as well as Richland, Whites, Seven Mile and Mill creeks.
These trails will eventually form a network of corridors
which will link communities throughout Nashville.

Our Vision
We envision Nashville and Davidson County tied
together with threads of green - bicycle paths and
hiking trails that connect people to parks, to downtown,
to schools and other areas of activity, to waterways,
hillsides and the animals and plants that live there,
and to each other. A city where natural areas,
recreational opportunities, and non-motorized
transportation are within easy reach of all of us. |
