Founded in 1945, Seven Oaks Park has 76 acres, a playground, restrooms, a picnic shelter, a baseball field, a tennis court, and a disc golf course. There is frustratingly little known about the history of the land. We know that the city of Nashville purchased the land from private citizens, and the purchase was partially funded by a federal Open Spaces grant, and that's about it. That Open Spaces grant probably has something to do with the usage of the land, and how undeveloped it still is today. It's pretty nice how natural a large part of this park is. The ball field is pretty snazzy, and it was funded by Conway Twitty in the '80s. It's a pretty quiet and large pocket of natural area in the city, and I quite enjoyed it.
