Nashville Greenway Map

Greenways are linear parks and trails that connect neighborhoods to schools, parks, transportation, shopping and work. 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 greenspace for conservation, recreation and alternative transportation.

Greenways provide all citizens barrier-free access to natural resources and recreational opportunities.

Nashville’s greenways are primarily based along our eight major water corridors: the Cumberland River, Browns Creek, Harpeth River, Stones River, Mill Creek, Richland Creek, Seven Mile Creek and Whites Creek.

Greenways are:

• In demand by Nashvillians and visitors

• Developed through cooperation with the community

• Built by Metro Parks and overseen by the Greenways Commission, which advises the Park Board

• Supported by Greenways for Nashville, a private-sector nonprofit friends group
