4.) Liberty Park (2098 Turning Wheel Lane, corner of McEwen and Turning Wheel Lane, 37067)
A second phase to this park just opened on July 16!
Highlighting the park will be the City of Franklin's first disc golf course. Tucked away in the east end of the park, in scenic woods, a professionally designed disc golf course has been laid out under a canopy of native trees. It is a hilly and demanding course with natural obstacles and a challenging design to keep even the most competitive player interested. Bring your favorite disc and give it a try. Posted signs will guide you through the course.
Also, opening simultaneously is a new state of the art children's playground nestled int the hills. This playground has a pour-in-place surfacing system called VitriTurf. It provides a seamless, porous, safe and aesthetic surface that is ADA compliant and made of 100% recycled materials.
5.) The Park at Harlinsdale Farm (239 Franklin Rd, 37064)
The Grand Opening dedication and ribbon cutting ceremony is scheduled for Saturday, July 25th from 10am-2pm. The Public is invited.
The Parks Department is excited to announce that The Park at Harlinsdale Farm is due to open by the end of July offering the public unbridled views and the chance to experience and enjoy this natural and historical piece of land.
One can reflect back on Franklin’s past by overlooking the pastures and grounds imagining not only the Civil War battles but also the famous Harlin horse breeding business that was legendary on this former working farm.
The park is an ideal location for walks, reading, bird watching, photography, scenic vistas along the river and most passive pursuits. The 3 acre pond is a reflective waterscape and someday will be available for catch and release fishing. Bring along your own lawn chair and blankets for picnics in this rustic setting. The park is a work in progress and other amenities and features will be added when funds become available.
6.) Bicentennial Park State Park (600 James Robertson Parkway, Nashville, TN 37243-Office: 615-741-5280)
Here is another free activity for kids AND adults!

My husband and I have been to the Thursday evenings free music in the Lobby and enjoyed it. the evening we went, the music was 2 musicians playing acoustical guitars. The sound reverberating in this beautiful building was a very pleasant listening experience. The Frist Center is the site of the original Post Office. The art deco style of the building is so detailed and amazing. It is so worth the trip to see it!
