Centennial Park is
the place where Nashville grows.
Each day within these 132-acres, visitors gather here to enjoy exhibits, festivals, playgrounds, and open lawns, all while being embraced by flora and fauna. Be a part of this story in two ways:
Go Where Nashville Grows. Your presence at the Park's events fuels the community building that begins here with something for everyone to enjoy. Find an event of interest, mark your calendar, and prepare for a great time!
Sow Where Nashville Grows. Sustaining Centennial Park requires supporters who help us add new amenities, preserve the Parthenon, care for the Park's natural habitat, and present free programming for all. Help ensure these experiences continue reaping rewards plus double your gifts courtesy of a campaign challenge match.
