Alvin G. Beaman Park
This park, made possible by a generous donation from Sally Beaman, encompasses some 1500 acres of beautiful and rugged terrain in northern Davidson County. The first phase of improvements are open, including four miles of hiking trails and picnic areas.  The nature center  currently offers programs.  The park is open to the general public during daylight hours only.

Cumberland River Master Plan
In partnership with the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Greenways Commission hired the Landscape Architecture firm, Hawkins Partners, Inc. to develop a conceptual plan for a greenway system following the entire length of the Cumberland River in Davidson County. This plan can be seen at the Greenways office. Currently, there are several greenway projects completed or underway on the banks of the Cumberland.

Cumberland River: Brookmeade Park at Kelley's Point Battlefield
This scenic and historic park on a bluff overlooking the Cumberland features a one-half-mile trail leading to an overlook at the site of a key Civil War battle between Confederate troops and Union Navy gunboats. The site is also rich in early Native American history.

Cumberland River: Downtown Riverfront Park Connector
This one-mile urban multi-use trail connects the exciting downtown riverfront area with the Tennessee Bicentennial Mall and Farmers Market. Located along this route are restaurants, offices, historic sites, shopping and entertainment areas.

Cumberland River: East Bank Greenway
This one-half mile trail adjacent to the Coliseum provides great views of the Cumberland river and downtown Nashville. It also features interesting artworks reflecting the industrial history of Nashville on the Cumberland.

Cumberland River: Old Hickory Nature Trail
This 1.5 mile trail adjacent to the Old Hickory dam consists of a 0.3 mile paved section that connects three short primitive nature trails. Boardwalks allow hikers to travel through natural wetlands and a pond observation platform provides views of wildlife.

Cumberland River: Shelby Street Bridge
The historic Shelby Street bridge, long the main connection between downtown and the neighborhoods of East Nashville, has been renovated for use as a pedestrian and non-motorized vehicle bridge. This exciting project provides a safe connection to attractions on the east bank, breath-taking views of the city skyline and gathering spaces for downtown events.

Cumberland River: MetroCenter Levee Trail
A cooperative project with the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, this greenway provides over 3 miles of riverfront trail in the heart of a booming industrial and office complex and will soon connect to the downtown greenway. The recent completion of the Downtown Greenway provides connectivity to Morgan Park, Bi-Centennial Mall and downtown.

Davidson Street Bicycle Connector
This 3.75 mile route includes both dedicated bike lanes and shared roadways to provide bicyclists with a connection between downtown and the Shelby Bottoms Greenway and Nature Park.

Downtown Greenway                                                  Construction is complete on the 1.5 mile connection between the existing Downtown and Metro Center Levee Greenways, including a connector to historic Morgan Park in Germantown.  Greenways and park land are being planned as part of the project to reinvigorate the downtown riverfront.

Harpeth River Greenway
Currently, this greenway consists of a one-mile trail with over 800 feet of boardwalk along Morton Mill Road. This greenway also provides scenic overlooks of the Harpeth River and quiet sitting areas along its length.  The current expansion of this project includes a connection from Old Harding Road with an extension to retail areas in Bellevue and the soccer complex at Coley Davis Road.  Trail l is complete between the Bellevue Exchange Club ball field complex and the Warner Park/Ensworth School.   There is a 1.4 mile section now open along the Harpeth River in the Riverwalk subdivision off Newsom Station Road.

Mill Creek Greenway
This greenway currently includes three distinct segments which are either completed or under construction:

Mill Creek Greenway at Blue Hole Road
Beginning at the new Antioch Community center, this greenway offers a one-mile paved loop through forests, meadows and wetlands along Mill Creek and Whittemore Branch. The trail also connects Antioch Middle School and neighborhood recreational facilities.

Mill Creek Greenway at Ezell Park
This one-mile paved trail follows Mill Creek along one of its more scenic stretches. The trail is convenient to the new southeast police station, as well as to many businesses. The connection between this existing trail and the Blue Hole Road segment is currently under development.

Peeler Park Greenway                                                                 Located in Madison at the terminus of Neely's Bend along the Cumberland River, Peeler Park Greenway offers over three miles of equestrian trail as well as nearly two miles of multi-use trail on this wildlife rich peninsula. Construction of a new boardwalk across the wetland is planned.

Richland Creek Greenway
This greenway connects the neighborhoods of Sylvan Park and Cherokee Park with the shopping centers, entertainment areas and schools along White Bridge Road. This two-mile greenway provides a scenic, natural experience in the midst of a bustling community. The greenway has expanded from the Lions Head spur to Nashville State Community College. Construction is nearly complete on a new connector between Nashville State Community College and Knob Road and the mail trail. Additional trail expansion on the north end from the Wyoming Trailhead to the McCabe Community Center is underway.

Seven Mile Creek Greenway                                                 This new half mile section begins at Whitfield Park and travels south along the creek on the Ellington Agriculture Center campus.

Shelby Bottoms Greenway and Nature Park
One of the true jewels of Metro’s Park and Greenway system, this 810 acre park offers 5 miles of paved multi-use trails and another 5 miles of primitive hiking trails. Along the trails, visitors can enjoy boardwalks, scenic overlooks, interpretive stations and seven rustic bridges. There is also a nature center.  The area is well known as a haven for migrating birds and other wildlife.  It now connects with the Stones River Greenway via the Cumberland River Pedestrian Bridge. 

Stones River Greenway
This ambitious project will add over 10 miles of paved multi-use trail to Metro’s growing network of greenways. Starting at the Percy Priest Dam, this trail will follow the Stones River, connecting neighborhoods, shopping areas, schools and parks, until it reaches the Cumberland River at Opry Mills, and connects across the river to Shelby Bottoms. Several sections of the project have been completed, and the entire trail system should be completed in 2010.

Whites Creek Greenway
Currently with one mile of trail complete, this greenway along Whites Creek will eventually connect the neighborhoods of Bordeaux and North Nashville with the library and shopping areas along Clarksville Highway. The trail starts at Richard T. Hartman Park and provides outstanding bird watching opportunities along a beautiful creek. Interested citizens can get involved with this project by contacting the Bordeaux/Whites Creek Greenway Alliance at 876-8865.
