There’s nothing more beautiful than Nashville in the autumn. If you haven’t been to Music City in the heart of a colorful fall, then you really haven’t seen Nashville at its best. The city explodes with shades of warm yellows, oranges and browns, and wandering through Percy Warner Park is one of the best and most peaceful places to get a close-up view of Nashville’s autumnal glory. Take a look, fall in love, and perhaps visit for yourself. Can you imagine any better place to be than this one?
Percy Warner Park is part of the famed Nashville duo known as Warner Parks, with the partnership rounded out by the ever-beautiful Edwin Warner Park. Both are major public spaces, and are located in the heart of Nashville, Tennessee.
Located just nine miles from the heart of the city, you'd never know. The park is truly a masterpiece of peace and quiet. A true oasis, a natural space perfect for wandering when you're ready to get out of the city.
Percy Warner itself is known for its stunning hiking and mountain biking trails. Interesting fact? Although the Warner Parks don't quite make up the largest public park in the state - that honor belongs to the 4,500 acres Shelby Farms Park in Memphis - but the variety of fun outdoor activities right near a bustling city is second to none.
It truly does have the feel of an oasis. Keep your eyes peeled for all sorts of wildlife, both big and small. Also, make sure to stop by the Burch Reserve if you can. It's not only the location of Nashville's largest cave, but it also boasts an old-growth forest.
A stunning conglomeration of natural beauty and charm, Percy Warner Parks and its sister space make for the best natural experience in Nashville. They've operated in tandem since 1927, and continue to attract locals and tourists alike. Even Taylor Swift has been known to hike the park!
Come ready for beautiful fall foliage and a whole lot of natural beauty! You don't have to border the Mississippi or edge out the Great Smoky Mountains for a good view in Tennessee. The Warner Parks are the answer to every Nashville city slicker's prayers.
