Love it here! We've been to several dog parks around Nashville and this is the one I choose above them all. Large space, always plenty of dogs around, kept clean, water fountains during the season. There are areas that can get a bit muddy after it rains, but overall it is a beautiful area.

We were traveling through Nashville and stopped to give our golden girl a break from the car. She loved it and so did we. She played inside and outside and was supervised by staff while we ordered food. They even cleaned up after her before I could! My husband and I enjoyed the smashburger and veggie burger, but you have to watch your food as doggos are unleashed. Great fun for dog lovers! If you’re traveling be sure to have your vaccination records. They inspect them closely and I was happy that they did to ensure the pups safety. Highly recommend UDB!

Very cozy and family friendly park, located right on the Harpeth river, with the amazingly history rich Fort Granger located on a hill nearby. Lots of informative plaques to read about the history. Parking at Pinkerton Park seems safe and allows access to all the historic squares in downtown Franklin with quick access from the bridge. Try to leave before 1 AM. My wife and I spotted two men that were definitely “in love” in the backseat of their vehicle when we returned to our car at the late hours of the night. I am not sure how normal that is in this area.

It is a beautiful park both coming from Franklin or floating down the Harpeth river. We attended recently a 4th of July celebration and also floated by in kayak over a regular August weekend. Definitely recommend it either way. Enjoy it with your family and friends. :)
