Getting outside isn’t too difficult in Nashville, with the myriad of incredible state and city parks at your disposal. Still, with so many at your fingertips, it’s easy to choose the same spot, over and over, especially if you’re looking for a comfortable experience. Our one question for you, comfort seekers: have you been to Peeler Park? It’s just a hot second from the heart of the city, but it will feel like you’ve rocketed a million miles away.
Peeler Park is known officially as EN Peeler Park, and it's located in Madison, Tennessee, just north of the Nashville city center. The park runs right along the Cumberland River...
...which makes way for some pretty incredible views, no matter the time of day.

The park is largely pastoral and is located in a curve of the Cumberland River known as Neely's Bend. There's a 1.9-mile multi-use path, as well as equestrian trails and a public boat launch.
