Shelby Bottoms Nature Center & Greenway

I love Shelby Bottoms Park! The trails are super accessible and very dog-friendly. It’s an easy, relaxed walk without a ton of hills, and everything is well-shaded, which makes it perfect even on warmer days. The paths are nice and wide, so you never feel crowded. Plus, there’s a great playground area for the kids. Such a beautiful space to enjoy nature! 🌿🐾

Love, love, love Shelby Bottoms Nature Center & Greenway. My family and I are lucky to have this so close to home. The Greenway is always clean and tamed. Perfect for bike rides, walks, or runs. The nature center is amazing, with multiple events they host monthly, and they also have a nature play area that is perfect for the outdoorsy kids that want to have a little fun out in the fresh air. Thank you, friends of Shelby, for making our parks a beautiful place to enjoy. ❤️

Great way to get outside and be in nature for a bit in Nashville! The main trail they have is about a mile, so it’s a perfect way to get a short walk in even for your dog as well. Highly recommend for locals or tourists alike!

Nice quiet place in the midst of the hustle bustle of the city. Beautiful views. Walk. Run. Rent a bike. Catch a ballgame (summer) the pond is gorgeous. The river is breathtaking. The nature center is beautiful but I’ve not been inside. The added hands on park for the kids is something I wish were there when mine were smaller. It’s worth the stop. Bring a picnic. It’s Nashville at its finest. Plenty of parking.
