Church St. Park

Sadly, the park has been taken over by loiterers. The fountain is pretty gross. It’s kind of sad as it really is a nice little space. Head over to Public Square Park for a better experience.

Aside from the river front park, Church St. Park is the only green space I know of in downtown Nashville. This fairly new park, located accross from the main library, has a fountain, numerous benches, sidewalks, lush grass, and rose bushes. It would be a good place to take a smoke break, eat your lunch, or get a breath of fresh after visiting the librart. But it’s too small to really be a destination in itself.
The most distinctive aspect of the Church St. Park is the huge, quirky mural covering the side of the building that backs up to the park. The mural depicts a large open window made of puzzle pieces, with various people working to put pieces of the incomplete puzzle in place. I think it’s a pretty creative mural, definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area.
