In 2002, Nashville completed the Master Plan for the development of the city’s parks, greenways, and recreational resources over the next 20 years.  In the last 8 years alone, Nashville TN real estate has been enhanced by an additional 32 miles of greenway. 

Residents of Nashville TN homes in neighborhoods throughout the entire metropolitan area are now enjoying 76 new playgrounds with 18 more in progress as well as 10 new nature and community centers, a new youth sports complex, and a skate park.

The Master Plan serves as a catalyst for protecting important natural resources and valuable open space through Davidson County real estate.  It presents a proactive approach to acquiring nearly 2,000 acres of new parklands so citizens residing in homes in Nashville, Tennessee can easily walk to at least one neighborhood park.  The Master Plan calls for parks within a half mile of every home.  One of the feats already checked off the list is the Metro’s first wireless park.  Centennial Park is a great place for patrons to connect on laptops, PDAs, and other wireless Internet devices.

Playgrounds will be provided for all elementary schools along with adjacent community campuses and programs with an environmental, teen, and cultural bent will be offered.  New regional community centers at Hadley, East, Richland, Coleman, and Sevier Parks and improvements to the city’s popular wave-action pool are on the agenda.  Additionally, hundreds of miles of greenways, accessible within two miles of every home, will link parks, neighborhoods, and schools.  With the enhanced amenities and greater use of our parks facilities, the park police expect to add more protection.

The $12M renovation of the Parthenon started the preservation ball rolling around town.  By the time the 100th anniversary of the city’s park system rolled around in 2001, the City Council readily approved $34M in funding for the Master Plan to improve the metro parks and recreation facilities.  The new community centers at Parkwood and McFerrin parks cost $2M each.  The rec center at East Park was $5M, and the new youth sports complex near the airport and its multiple soccer and athletic fields will run $2.5M.  The Harpeth and Heartland soccer fields will receive $.5M, Peeler Park in Madison $1M, and the list goes on.

As residents relax and enjoy all of the wonderful amenities available in our city, our property values will also be enhanced.  For expert advice when relocating to the Music City, call Steve Condurelis at (615) 376-5123.
