Founded in 1966 as the first park in the Donelson area, Two Rivers Park has 375 acres, a playground, public restrooms, picnic shelters, a dog park, baseball fields, tennis courts, a disc golf field, a skate park, a spray park, a golf course, paved walking/jogging paths, a lake, a preserved plantation historic home, a 15 mile greenway trail, a greenhouse, and finally- the Wave Country water park.

That's a LOT of amenities.

The property was owned by the estate of Ms. Bransford McGavock for $995,000, having been in the McGavock family since pioneer days. The land was used for public recreation out of generosity of the McGavocks through the late 1800s and early 1900s. It's pretty gorgeous! The biggest hesitation I'd have in this park is the fact that it is adjacent to McGavock High School, so I'd wonder what to expect in regards to the high school's use of the facilities during the school year. With COVID in full swing, it was a moot point on this particular visit. But, almost anything you can imagine doing at a park- you can do here.
