Pinkerton Park

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.

Nice paved walkway around the park, leading up to restrooms. Good lawn. Sandbox sand gets all over the general area, but further away from it is not bad. Very fun little implements for the kids, and there's a bench swing for the grown ups too.

Another great park in the Nashville area! Tinkerbell playground was so adorable and huge ! Lots of room for many kids. The trails were also very cool! There is also a trail off the paved one that is around the park that people mainly use for jogging and such, and it's really neat! It isn't for small children, but my 7 year old did fine. It's up a steep incline that is rocky, but after that, it's a wooden platform and then a grassy trail. There are also little plaques stating history facts about the war and after the war. The park is huge and has so many obstacles for kids, there was a rope jungle gym to climb, a whole wooden castle theme playground, swings, slides, a little log and rock obstacle course, little rock climbing formations, they have outside cement bench and table with outlets, they have a cement ping pong table and the equipment to play cornhole, just need the hackey sacs. It was a beautiful view and experience. Kept clean too!

Fun playground! My kids love this park. Wish there was more shade, but it's definitely awesome. It has a mommy and baby swing which is super cute! It also has ping pong tables in front of the park. Oh and a cute theater stage and sand pit!

Pinkerton Park is a fun place for all age groups to spend a good day! They have a dedicated kids 👧🏻 👦🏻 area with a lot of fun activities 🛝 🏓 🏞️ 🛹 . There are also areas were one can bring their hammock and rest and relax 😎 There is plenty of hiking 🥾, walking 🚶‍♂️ trails around the park as well. Also if your looking for shelter, they have 3-4 spots with good seating capacity. If you are visiting or a local here and looking for a relaxing evening, Pinkerton is the place!👍🏻
