On the Grid : Shelby Park
"Hidden behind the action on East Nashville’s main streets are 960 acres of lush, green getaway. Those who work and live in East Nashville visit and gush about this oasis often, complete with waterfront views of the Cumberland River and other small bodies. Walking the pooch(es), running or biking the greenway, playing frisbee or just plain napping in the grass are all welcome. The Shelby Bottoms Greenway offers over five miles of paved trail for hiking, biking, running, skating and wildlife watching plus over five more miles of primitive trails for exploring. Pack a snack! You’ll wanna stay awhile." - Perky Bros
