Riverfront Park

The Gateway to Music City

Located along the scenic Cumberland River, Riverfront Park provides a picturesque setting for recreation and relaxation. With its beautiful views, open spaces, and access to the river, the park is a favorite destination for picnics, outdoor events, and waterfront activities. A sprawling park spanning a half mile, both the north and south sides of the park offer unique features.

The North section of the park features amphitheater-style grounds, historic Fort Nashborough, and unique public art. Open year-round, the park is home to some of Nashville’s biggest events and concerts.

The South section of the park features Ascend Amphitheater with adjacent public lawn, Riverfront Dog Park, and recreational amenities. The south side of the park is perfect for playing sports, relaxing with a book, or anything in between.
