The Hidden Park That Will Make You Feel Like You've Discovered Nashville's Best Kept Secret
Nashville’s park population has exploded recently, renovating greenways and building out the ever-popular Shelby Park for families on the east side. With Radnor Lake in Brentwood and the lone Beaman Park out north, you may wonder if there’s a spot that perfectly pairs the accessibility and isolated climate of the two. Well, just take a jaunt down Neely’s Bend – we found a Saturday park for you to explore.

Peeler Park has made a name for itself when it comes to the townie wildlife experience. While on a walk, you'll see all sorts of beautiful flowers in the spring, deer and their fawn, plus a few dogs from other walkers.

There is also an R/C Airfield in the park, making this one of the most popular post-Christmas outings. Most kids want to try out their new toys, after all.

There are also equesterian trails that are not accessible by pedestrians, whereas horses are not allowed on the paved greenway. You may want to check out the park map before you head out - just in case.

Due to the flatness of the greenway and paved whole of it, Peeler Park has turned into a mecca for those looking to bike in a less trafficked area. Nashville has exceeded all expectations for population growth, so finding an out of the way spot is akin to discovering gold.
