This is, without a doubt, one of the most unique parks in Nashville. It's only three acres, and was founded in 2013, but this is a GEM in East Nashville. There are several natural water springs in the area, and this plot of land was a bottling company for the water. It went out of business and the land was bought by the Nashville Parks Department. It then became this lush, overgrown, naturally wooded area. There are trails that snake around and loop around. Be aware of the shoes you wear, because there are some bits of broken glass around, but you will forget you are in the middle of busy bustling East Nashville. You will get lost, and feel like you are in a much bigger state park on a hike. It's an amazing experience, and there are signs around notating the history of the land without being too touristy and intrusive in the overall experience.
