Today a large, popular park, the original purpose of Centennial Park was to host Tennessee's centennial exposition in 1897. The main attraction of the park, and one of the most famous exhibits of the exposition, is the Parthenon replica. Explore inside this full-scale reproduction, then visit the art center for some more modern creative works. You can walk or jog the short trail or play volleyball in another area. You'll find plenty of spots for relaxing, such as the sunken garden. If you need to catch up with friends or family, the park features free Wi-Fi access.

Pretty quirky, seeing the Parthenon in Nashville. The park is a pretty setting for it and don't miss the photos of what it looked like when it was built for the Exposition.

A very large but accessible park. See the Parthenon is the primary attraction. The on-site parking didn't seem very large, but there seems to be parking around it.

Nashville is blessed to have this beautiful park in the middle of the city. There’s enough parking to support an entire music fest. The trees 🌲 mostly cover the walking track so you can walk even before sunset. Sometimes you can find ice cream trucks or food trucks there. They also occasionally have fairs or festivals here. A couple of musicians practice there occasionally, and I love the presence of music around. I have also found some artists paint under the tree. Overall, it’s a very uplifting atmosphere.

1/24/22 $10 admission to go through the museum. Very Informative, long, fascinating, and interesting. I thought it was worth the price per person. The building was beautiful to see up close. Many photographers were there. I definitely would like to revisit in the summer for pictures and for a nice picnic.
