Nashville's Centennial Park is the Central Park of the South. But it's laid back and laced with southern charm. On a beautiful day, it's filled with families gathered around picnic tables, college students lounging on blankets, and kids kicking soccer balls. Right in the middle of it stands a full scale replica of the Greek Parthenon, providing history and architecture found nowhere else.Parking and transportation at Centennial Park There is ample free parking surrounding the entire park. Parking availability was recently expanded to add parking on the grass, in addition to the paved areas. The bus line stops on West End Ave, just a few steps away, making it accessible via public transportation.Best and worst time to go to Centennial ParkThe community hosts countless free art and culture events at the park from May through September. These include Musicians Corner, (a carefully curated lineup of local and national acts), local theater performances, Nashville Ballet in the Park, food truck festivals, and more. This makes spring through fall, especially on the weekends, the best times to go. Winter, only because of the cold, deters visitors.Admission to Centennial ParkAdmission is free, year round.
